  • Publication number: 20230051445
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water heat dissipating system used for a condenser coil of a water filter apparatus, the system comprising: said condenser coil of the water filter apparatus including a bent refrigerant pipeline part with a suitable shape for transferring heat from refrigerant conducted by the condenser coil to outside; a water heat dissipating container for containing water therein, the water heat dissipating container having a water heat dissipating container inlet and a water heat dissipating container outlet to circulate water contained in the water heat dissipating container. The bent refrigerant pipeline part is arranged inside the water heat dissipating container for transferring heat from refrigerant conducted inside the bent refrigerant pipeline part to water contained in the water heat dissipating container. The water heat dissipating container inlet is connected to at least a waste water outlet of a RO filter cartridge (Reverse Osmosis) of the water filter apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220211072
    Abstract: A frozen product dispenser provides a controller to control the rate of freezing and the temperature range of a frozen product. The controller monitors the temperature of the product as well as the torque applied to a scrapper blade. For example, the torque may be measured based on monitoring a current draw of a scrapper motor. The torque may be tracked over time to determine a rate of change in the torque. The rate of freezing may be controlled by setting a maximum rate of increase in the torque. Upon determining that the rate of increase in the monitored torque exceeds the maximum rate, a compressor for the frozen product dispenser may be turned off for a predetermined period of time and/or a hot gas bypass may be opened. A heat transfer medium may decouple thermal contact between an evaporator and the product to control the rate of freezing.
