Abstract
A shell and tube ice-maker has a bottom compartment in which trapped refrigerant gas is present to prevent entry of liquid refrigerant into the compartment during ice-making and from which, during defrosting, hot gaseous refrigerant flows upwardly into the liquid refrigerant which remains in flooded condition around the tubes, whereby delay in initiating further ice-making is minimized.
