  • Publication number: 20240053078
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a running-water-type evaporator, and an ice-making device and a water purification device comprising the same, and to a running-water-type evaporator, and an ice-making device and a water purification device comprising the same, the evaporator uniformly transferring, to ice, heat supplied through high-temperature fluid during ice separation, so as to enable the ice to be easily separated without using separate ice-separating water, and thus minimizes melting of the ice during ice separation, and circulating ice-making water in a state where the ice-making water flows only toward the outer sides of a pair of outer plate members, and thus a degradation in the cleanliness of the ice-making water can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20240051813
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cold-water generating apparatus and a water purifier comprising same, in which: by arranging a block member to surround the outer circumferential surface of a flow path member through which fluid flows, and cooling the block member so that the fluid is cooled, thereby sufficiently lowering the temperature at which the fluid is cooled; and by arranging cooling passages respectively in a plurality of zones provided in the block member and thermally separated from one another, providing a connection pipe to allow the fluid to sequentially flow through the cooling passages, and preventing heat exchange from occurring between the fluid introduced through the connection pipe and the fluid discharged therefrom, the maximum amount of cold water can be secured, thereby improving user satisfaction.

  • Publication number: 20230373816
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for making cold water and a water purifier including the same, and more specifically to an apparatus for making cold water which is configured such that any one of a water inlet port, which is in communication with a water inlet flow path member so that incoming water can be introduced into a case member, and a water outlet port, which is in communication with a water outlet flow path member so that outflowing water can be discharged, is arranged adjacent to a heat transfer wall of the case member, and thus, storage water in the case member flows while directly contacting the inner surface of the heat transfer wall, and thus, the cooling performance of the apparatus for making cold water can be improved, and at the same time, the storage water may sufficiently flow without remaining in the case member, thereby improving the cleanliness of the outflowing water, and a water purifier including the same.
