摘要： An icemaker having a means for bypassing a head pressure control valve thereof depending upon the ambient air temperature surrounding a remotely located condenser of the icemaker. The method and apparatus involve a first bypass conduit which is coupled to an outlet of the condenser upstream of the head pressure control valve and a first bypass valve disposed in the first bypass conduit. A second bypass conduit is in communication with an inlet of the condenser and also with the head pressure control valve. A second bypass valve is disposed in the second bypass conduit. A thermostat controls each of the bypass valves such that the first bypass valve is closed and the second bypass valve opened when the sensed ambient air temperature around the condenser is below a predetermined temperature, to thereby permit normal operation of the head pressure control valve. When the ambient air temperature is at or above the predetermined temperature, the first bypass valve is opened and the second bypass valve is closed, which causes condensed refrigerant to bypass the head pressure control valve completely. The above-described arrangement permits a high set point of the head pressure control to build more heat in a compressor during the freeze cycle of the icemaker when the condenser is experiencing low ambient air temperature conditions, and further allows the head pressure control valve to be bypassed entirely when the ambient air conditions are relatively high during the freeze cycle, and the head pressure control valve is therefore not needed.

摘要： An icemaker incorporating a hot gas bypass system for introducing a supplemental quantity of refrigerant from a condenser into a compressor of the icemaker during a harvest cycle. The system includes a harvest bypass valve disposed in a bypass conduit coupled between an input port of the compressor and the inlet of a remotely disposed condenser. The harvest bypass valve is opened by a system controller of the icemaker during a harvest cycle which allows refrigerant in the condenser to migrate back into the input port of the compressor during the harvest cycle. In this manner, it can be insured that a sufficient quantity of refrigerant is available to carry out the harvest cycle. The adding of a supplemental quantity of refrigerant is further accomplished through a single valve and does not add appreciably to the overall cost or complexity of the icemaker.

摘要： A fault restart routine for an icemaker having a microprocessor-based system controller. The fault restart routine provides at least a limited number of attempts at automatically restarting the icemaker after a shutdown has occurred because of a detected fault condition. If the fault condition is not a water inlet fault, the routine waits a first predetermined period of time before attempting to restart the icemaker. If the fault is detected as being a water inlet fault, then the system controller waits for a second predetermined time period before restarting the icemaker. If after restarting the icemaker, the icemaker completes one complete cycle of operation (i.e., a complete FREEZE cycle and a complete HARVEST cycle), then the fault restart routine is exited and a previously generated fault code is cleared. If the icemaker does not full one complete cycle of operation within a predetermined number of restart tries, then the system controller generates a fault signal to the LED display and no further attempts at restarting the icemaker are made. The method alleviates the need for an operator or attendant to manually attempt to restart the icemaker in the event a fault condition occurs, which fault condition may only be temporary and/or due to environmental conditions such as power surges or brown-outs, and which does not require operator intervention. The method further protects the icemaker by automatically shutting down the icemaker if after the predetermined number of restart tries the fault condition is still present.
摘要翻译：具有基于微处理器的系统控制器的制冰机的故障重启程序。由于检测到的故障状况，故障重启程序至少提供了在关闭发生后自动重新启动制冰机的尝试次数。如果故障条件不是进水口故障，则程序在尝试重新启动制冰机之前等待第一预定时间段。如果检测到故障是进水故障，则系统控制器在重新启动制冰机之前等待第二预定时间段。如果在重新启动制冰机后，制冰机完成一个完整的操作周期（即完全冻结循环和完整的HARVEST循环），则退出故障重启程序，并清除先前生成的故障代码。如果制冰机在预定次数的重新启动尝试中没有完成一个完整的循环，则系统控制器向LED显示器产生故障信号，并且不再进行重新启动制冰机的尝试。该方法减轻了操作员或服务员在发生故障情况的情况下手动尝试重新启动制冰机的需要，该故障状况可能仅仅是临时的和/或由于诸如电源浪涌或掉电的环境条件而导致的，以及哪个不需要操作员干预。如果在预定次数的重启尝试故障状态仍然存在之后，该方法还通过自动关闭制冰机来保护制冰机。

摘要： A beverage dispensing system includes a base to which a dispensing head is removably attached without additional fasteners. Beverage-forming liquids are supplied through a plurality of separate conduits in the base. Each base conduit has a normally closed valve that normally blocks fluid flow. The dispensing head has at least one passageway that receives liquid from an associated one of the base conduits. A projection associated with each dispensing head passageway opens the associated conduit valve to allow fluid flow from the base to the head. Dispensing valves in the dispensing head regulate the dispensing of the beverage. By selectively opening the dispensing valves, a plurality of beverages are formed from combinations of one or more liquids. A dispensing head includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening at each end of a passage extending through a body, the inlet opening having a smaller cross-sectional area than the outlet opening.

摘要： A method for preventing the formation of icy slush within the sump of an ice maker. The method includes the steps of monitoring the temperature of the water being circulated through the ice maker and detecting when the temperature reaches about 32.degree. F. When the water reaches about 32.degree. F., the water pump is turned-off to allow residual water on evaporator plates of the ice maker to freeze and form ice crystals thereon. The water pump is turned-off for a predetermined period of time sufficient to allow the residual water remaining on the evaporator plates to freeze, which is preferably about 40 seconds, before it is turned back on. Thereafter, circulating water gradually freezes to the ice crystals formed on the evaporator plates. This prevents the water in the sump from cooling below about 32.degree. F. which would cause an icy slush to form in the sump. The above cycle is repeated after ice is harvested from the evaporator plates.
摘要翻译：一种防止在制冰机的贮槽内形成冰冷的方法。该方法包括监测通过制冰机循环的水的温度并检测何时达到32°F的步骤。当水达到约32°F时，关闭水泵以允许残留水在制冰机的蒸发板上冷冻并在其上形成冰晶。关闭水泵预定的一段时间，足以允许残留在蒸发器板上的剩余水在其被重新打开之前冻结，优选约40秒。此后，循环水逐渐冻结在蒸发器板上形成的冰晶上。这样可防止油底壳中的水冷却至低于约32°F，这将导致在油底壳中形成冰冷的泥浆。在从蒸发器板收获冰后，重复上述循环。

The bore is of a smaller diameter at the front end and of a larger diameter at the rear end for approximately two thirds of the length of the bead. The bead is cut off at each end so that the overall length of the bore is 85% of the major diameter of the bead itself.

A projection associated with each dispensing head passageway opens the associated conduit valve to allow fluid flow from the base to the head. Dispensing valves in the dispensing head are independently accountable to regulate the dispensing of the beverage. In one version of the invention, four liquids are supplied to the dispensing head through the conduits, namely two liquid concentrates; carbonated water; and non-carbonated water. By selective opening of the dispensing valves, a plurality of beverages are formed from combinations of one or more of the liquids. A dispensing head for dispensing at least one carbonated fluid includes an inlet opening and an outlet opening at each end of a passage extending through a body, the inlet opening having a smaller cross-sectional area than the outlet opening.

摘要： A beverage dispensing system includes separate valves for controlling the flow rate of a diluent and a concentrate. Various concentrates of different viscosities can be used and the selected concentrate is identified. The flow rate of the concentrate is determined based on temperature and pressure and on information related to the identified concentrate. The valves are controlled so that the concentrate and diluent reach target flow rates. The target flow rates satisfy a target ratio of diluent to concentrate. If the actual flow rates cannot reach the target flow rates, then the target flow rates are modified to satisfy the target ratio. The structure of the concentrate valve is designed to accommodate proportional metering of any one of the various concentrates.
