==DEVICES FOR PRODUCING CLEAR ICE PRODUCTS AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240027118 titled 'DEVICES FOR PRODUCING CLEAR ICE PRODUCTS AND RELATED METHODS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a device for producing an elongate ingot of clear ice. The device includes a housing with at least one flume surface wall that defines at least one elongate trough. It also has at least one fluid intake to provide a flow of liquid into the trough and at least one drain to drain liquid from the trough. The flume surface wall is in thermal communication with a cooling source, which can be an internal cooling cavity. The fluid intake and drain are designed to provide a constant flow of fluid to the trough during the freezing operation of the device.

* The device is designed to produce clear ice ingots in an elongate shape.
* The housing includes at least one flume surface wall that forms an elongate trough.
* A cooling source, such as an internal cooling cavity, is in thermal communication with the flume surface wall.
* The device has at least one fluid intake to provide a constant flow of liquid into the elongate trough.
* At least one drain is present to drain liquid from the elongate trough.
* The constant flow of fluid and the cooling source ensure the freezing operation of the device.

Potential Applications:
* Bars and restaurants can use this device to produce clear ice ingots for use in cocktails and other beverages.
* Ice sculpture artists can use this device to create clear ice blocks for their sculptures.
* Research laboratories can use this device to produce clear ice samples for scientific experiments.

Problems Solved:
* Traditional ice-making methods often result in cloudy or impure ice, which is not desirable for certain applications.
* Producing clear ice in an elongate shape can be challenging and time-consuming.
* Maintaining a constant flow of fluid and ensuring efficient cooling during the freezing process can be difficult.

Benefits:
* The device allows for the production of clear ice ingots in an elongate shape, which is aesthetically pleasing and useful in various applications.
* The constant flow of fluid and efficient cooling ensure the production of clear ice without impurities.
* The device simplifies the process of producing clear ice, saving time and effort for users.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a device for producing an elongate ingot of clear ice comprises a housing comprising at least one flume surface wall that defines at least one elongate trough; at least one fluid intake disposed to provide a flow of liquid into the at least one elongate trough; at least one drain disposed to drain liquid from at least one elongate trough; wherein the at least a portion of the at least one flume surface wall is in thermal communication with a cooling source; and wherein the at least one fluid intake and the at least one drain are adapted to provide a constant flow of fluid to the at least one elongate trough during a freezing operation of the device. the cooling source can be an internal cooling cavity.
