Common capacities range from 30 kg (66 lb) to 1,755 kg (3,869 lb). Since the emergence of cube ice machines in the 1970s, they have evolved into a diverse family of ice machines. Cube ice machines are commonly seen as vertical modular devices. The upper part is an evaporator, and the lower part is an ice bin.
John B. Gorrie (October 3, 1803 – June 29, 1855) was a Nevisian-born American physician and scientist, credited as the inventor of mechanical refrigeration. [1] [2]Born on the Island of Nevis in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies to Scottish parents on October 3, 1803, he spent his childhood in South Carolina.
Ice cream was originally made using very intensive labor and it often took one individual hours to make. Johnson had invented the hand cranked ice cream churn as a way to make ice cream faster and easier than by hand. [4] The patent number for the Artificial Freezer is US3254A. [5] It was patented on September 9, 1843, and antedated on July 29 ...
William Young produced the machine as the "Johnson Patent Ice-Cream Freezer" in 1848. [8] Hand-cranked machines' ice and salt mixture must be replenished to make a batch of ice cream. Usually, rock salt is used. The salt causes the ice to melt and lowers the temperature in the process, due to freezing point depression. The temperature at which ...
Then, in 1949, he invented a machine that transformed the job of resurfacing an ice rink from a five-man, 90-minute task to a one-man, 15-minute job. [4] The initial machine included a hydraulic cylinder from an A-20 attack plane, a chassis from an oil derrick, a Jeep engine, a wooden bin to catch the shavings, and a series of pulleys.
Carré's ice-making device. In 1850, Ferdinand's brother Edmond Carré (22 January 1833 – 7 May 1894) developed the first absorption refrigerator, using water and sulphuric acid. [2] Ferdinand continued Edmond's work on the process and in 1858 developed a machine which used water as the absorbent and ammonia as refrigerant. [3]
The machine employed a 5 m (16 ft.) flywheel and produced 3,000 kilograms (6,600 lb) of ice per day. In 1856 Harrison went to London where he patented both his process (747 of 1856) and his apparatus (2362 of 1857). [3] Also in 1856, James Harrison, was commissioned by a brewery to build a machine that could cool beer.
The Icee was invented in 1958 by Omar Knedlik, a Dairy Queen owner in Coffeyville, Kansas. [3] The beverage was the result of faulty equipment in the Dairy Queen owned by Knedlik. [4] His soda machine broke and he began placing bottles of soda in the freezer to keep them cold.
