Air-to-Ice Water Making Apparatus

Abstract

An air-to-ice water making apparatus includes a top freezer section, a bottom storage section, a main solenoid valve, an air compressor, an air inlet, a water outlet, a control unit, and a power receptacle. The top freezer section is adjacently connected atop the bottom storage section. A freezer compartment of the top freezer section is in fluid communication with a storage compartment of the bottom storage section through the main solenoid valve. The air compressor being in fluid communication with the top freezer section through the air inlet that is hermetically integrated into the freezer compartment. The water outlet is integrated into the storage compartment and is in fluid communication with the bottom storage section. The top freezer section, the main solenoid valve, and the air compressor are electronically connected to the control unit and electrically connected to the power receptacle for the efficient operation.
