Scientists invent icemaker that uses sea waterVietNamNet Bridge - Scientists at the Hi-tech Development Center, an arm of the Vietnam Academy of Science & Technology, in an effort to help fishing boats reduce post-harvesting losses due to the lack of preservation equipment, have invented a machine which can make ice from sea water. The icemaker that uses sea waterThis is the first product researched and built to suit the conditions of fishing boats in Vietnam. Meanwhile, making ice from sea water can help reduce production cost, because fishermen don’t have to carry ice from mainland. The input material water to make ice is 3 percent salt water, or sea water which is pumped into a periodic tank. The volume of water to be pumped depends on the density or temperature of the ice products required.
