Abstract:
A system for treating water in an ice-making machine having a water inlet for receiving an incoming stream of water, a supply of recirculating water, a reservoir for containing said supply, a pump for pumping water from the reservoir, a transport conduit in communication with the pump for transporting pumped water from the reservoir to an evaporator plate, and the evaporator plate receives water from the transport conduit and over which at least one of the incoming stream and the recirculating supply of water can flow to form ice, water flowing from the evaporator plate is received in the reservoir for recirculation, said system comprising:means for treating at least one of the incoming stream and the recirculating supply in the transport conduit, said means for treating being disposed in operational relationship to the transport conduit between the pump and the evaporator plate so that all water passing through the conduit is treated just prior to at least one of the stream and the supply flowing over said evaporator plate.
