  • Ice processing system
    Patent number: 11576408
    Abstract: An ice processing system may include a plurality of electrodes configured to create a time-varying electromagnetic field in a cavity, and a controller configured to oscillate a density of the electromagnetic field at a frequency which depends on the temperature of an object in the cavity. The frequency is selected based on a temperature of the object to establish and maintain a resonance condition of dipoles in ice crystals present in the object, such that the electromagnetic field tends to selectively heat ice substantially without heating liquid-phase water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2023
    Assignees: BSH Home Appliances Corporation, BSH Hausgeräte GmbH
