Abstract

An evaporator device and method of making the device. The evaporator device comprises a one-piece metallic body (22), which is preferably aluminum and an alloy thereof, with a refrigerant tube (36) embedded therein. The metallic body further includes horizontal fins (54, 56) and vertical partitions (28) protruding from at least one surface that define an array of ice forming cells. The one-piece metallic body is formed by a die casting process that eliminates the conventional assembly steps of separate evaporator pans, refrigerant tube pieces, vertical partitions, horizontal fins and other parts.
