Latest Patents
Tusima holds a patent for a "Clear ice making apparatus, clear ice making method and refrigerator." This invention includes a freezing space and a tray designed to have a lower temperature at its bottom than at its upper part. The apparatus features a water supply unit that delivers water to the tray from the top, allowing ice to form at a controlled rate of 5 µm/s or lower. The design ensures that a portion of the liquid-phase water in the tray, which is in contact with the atmosphere, freezes effectively. Importantly, the liquid-phase section of water is not entirely supercooled before the ice making process is completed, and the concentration of air in this section is maintained at a level equal to or lower than an excessive concentration of air. This innovative method results in high-quality clear ice.
