At the booth of the French company Glenglace, ice was made inside a stationary cylinder. It was harvested by means a helicoidal reamer. A pump carried the water from the base to the upper water tray. Water ran continuously on the cold surface where it was frozen. The refrigerant evaporated inside the double wall and froze the water. The reamer, driven by a motor, swept the surface while rotating. It caused the ice to crack and break off. In the area where the ice was harvested, the water did not flow, ensuring that the ice produced was moisture free.
Stateside, the Springfield, MO company Mueller offered the MaximICE™ ice slurry system. It is a thermal storage system that consists of a plate heat exchanger, a thermal storage tank, an energy-efficient scroll condensing unit, a pump, and an evaporator. Also highlighted was the Avalanche® ice harvester for commercial/ industrial cooling.
