Abstract
Three leaves type baffle plate attached at the inlet of the sub-chamber of the temporary ice storage tank and new method of drawing ice/water mixture from the temporary ice storage tank by shaving ice mass were proposed and their performances were examined in this paper. Under examined conditions, proposed baffle plate prevents inflow of ice to the sub-chamber of the temporary ice storage tank and does not interfere drawing ice from the temporary ice storage tank. IPF of drawing ice /water mixture increased with the increase of rotational speed of shaving board and decrease drastically with the decrease of ice mass remained in the temporary ice storage tank. Furthermore power of motor driving shaving board is larger than that rotating ice mass of the previous method, but total power to draw ice/water mixture consumed in the proposed method is less than that in the previous method.
