Andrew Silverman
It's awesome. The best parts of video chat but way more convenient. Better than sliced bread.

Bill Moeller
Sweet Use this all the time to ping my friends and family. Fast, fun, easy, and works great with crummy service. Too cool
ayeesha harris
Addicting Love the voices, filters, and drawing! Would've gave 5 stars but at times it will alert me to messages that are 2 days old (more than once) and that's really annoying!
Chris Billingham
So far so good. I like the concept. It has improved quite a bit since I first downloaded it.
Seth Carignan
Love it. Need help For some reason I can't do the screen filters. The voice filters work great and are fun. The video filters look fun too. Please fix. I have a Sony Xperia with android 4.3
Amanda Miyasato
I really love this app except there's a delay between the messages and it takes awhile to play the videos sometimes. ...
Quentin Martin
Oh yeah I like this better than snap chat. The video's are much longer. ??⬆

Its fun and hilarious
Brenda Williams
Marco Polo Cool to talk to my friends
Melanie Jones
Its fun and easy to use
Bayhaqi Khadafi
Needs an update. Samsung Galaxy s6 edge+ This app is pretty good but it definitely needs an update for the power consumption and how hard it hits the cpu. I have a Galaxy s6 edge plus and this app heats my cpu up to about 122 degrees f. Also because of that it drains my battery super fast. So since those are serious issues I'll give the app 1 star until you guys fix those serious issues. If you guys don't fix this issue fast enough I'll Uninstall it and just use video chat.
Bill Moeller
Sweet Use this all the time to ping my friends and family. Great voice and video effects. works great with crummy service. Too cool.
April Riley
Good idea Like all, except keeping what I send, should be up to me what is kept

Zac Wolfe
Smile or grimace, your face is better than emoticons I was hesitant to download another video chat app but this one is the most streamlined and intuitive. Super easy to use and the best way to keep in touch with friends and family! Sweetness!
Prentiss Moses
Awesome app Better than any video messaging app I've ever used. Cool & fun. You guys did so great I don't know how you all will make it even better!
Best App Ever!! Love, love, love this!!! Great way to communicate with friends and family. Easy and fun to use.
Andrew Campbell
No option to mute. Need to be able to mute notifications for this app or at least individual chats. Your only option is to turn off notifications entirely for this app in system settings which means you won't get any visual notification either.
Shelby Darden
Good times!!!! Good way to easily keep in touch. Would be nice to have more effects. Also when using the voice effects, sound cuts out before the video ends. Would also be cool to see suggested friends not from contacts but from other app users close by. Loving it tho.
Zac Wolfe
Streamlined, user friendly fun! I was hesitant to download another video chat app but this one is the most streamlined and intuitive. Super easy to use and the best way to keep in touch with friends and family! Strong awesomeness!
Magon Crittenden
What's up with these filters?? When I originally got Marco Polo a few months ago, it worked great. The videos were clear and the filters worked properly. But in one of the more recent updates, all of the videos I send, regardless of filter, come out looking like I put a Grey filter on it!!! It's so annoying! The colors don't come out clear, even on a natural setting. Fix it soon!!!
gerime bradley
I like the video chat without actually bring on the phone and the different settings. Pretty cool app
Tiffany Buchanan Ross
This is a pretty neat app Hey honestly I am skeptical about downloading a lot of different stuff on my phone but my sister had me download it and I am having a lot of fun with this app I've only had it for about 30 minutes and I love it LOL it's a great way to keep in contact with people and have fun with it it's pretty neat I Give It 2 Thumbs Up and that's just because I only have two thumbs LOL
MsLady G
Just downloaded the app - pretty good so far but I do have one issue...the notifications. Is there a way to turn off the notifications feature? I do not want to know if someone is available at 4am. And I don't want others to get a similar message about my usage.
Teresa Clawson
So easy and fun!! Very addictive. I just got my 83 yrs old mom added. As her eyesight is very poor, and she can't see enough to text, this is a godsend. Easy for her to use and she's loving it. Thank you.
Maria Caballero
Fun I really enjoy it and it's easy to use. Not confusing like other chat apps. Only thing i don't like is that it erases if u take a call in the middle of Recording the video. It would be great if the video would pause then able to continue recording after u hang up the call.
Kimberly S
Marco polo I love this app so far getting to see my family as we talk
James Newton
Snapshot but better When more people join this will be 1 of my favorite apps
Michael Woodie
Cool Cool app easy to use
Tara B
Love this app. I was in the military and it helps to keep in touch with people all over especially when you're on different time frames.
Joel Drotleff
Better than texting Ever since I got in the habit of sending Marco polos i never want to text anymore. It's so much quicker and feels like you're really there with the person. Texting is cold and distant.
Smiles Love
Just ok Its a good fun app. However, im trying to update my profile but there are no options to do so its a bit frustrating.
Jessica Luktinag
So far, I'm loving this app!
Mike Bush
Great app Really like it but phone gets hot quick using it.
Will Brown

Billie Lutz-Brown
Great App! I use it everyday.
Marco Polo Video chat, immediate response, saves messages
Jared LeJeune
Can't share videos I wish I could share videos to facebook. Other than that it's a great app.
Keri Hardisky
Almost perfect I love this app. I wish the effects had more options and the voice changers are a little ghetto, but other then that its a fun app I'm glad I found it.
Ann Marsh
AWESOME!! Thank you to the creators of this app. It's super easy to use and so fun. I ♡♡♡♡ Marco Polo!!
Randomkim86 26
My favorite app My family and I love this app
Jannadean Hanson

Alyssa Bryant
Me me It is ok
Bishop Don H. Scott
This is a nice app
Martin Leyva
Jillian Garies
Love it easy and fun!
Carolynn Wood
Mic not working I would give 5 stars if anyone could hear me, at this point though it's just texting with my pic in the background. I know it's not my phone since the mic works on other apps.
Juanita london
Love it! I love this app..I'm in so many group chats and we all love it, although it's starting to mess up with the new update! Other than that I really love this app!
Stopped working. I used it 3 times and could not open today. Says stopped running. Uninstaller and reinstalling. Will see if wol
Penny L.
Crashing! I was able to use this app yesterday when I finally first downloaded it, but now -- with msgs awaiting me & since adding more friends -- it constantly crashes every single time I try to open the app itself. Was quite impressed with it & enjoying being able to "see" friends I haven't in years, but am rather frustrated now. Help would be appreciated...
DAVID Edwards Sr
Im head Injuryed, and its very easy to you and stay in live contack with your family . My son lives in Seattle and we live in Burlington, KY and it's great to see his face in my grandchildren's face it's kind of like Skype but you don't have to have all that stuff and stuff I love it it's great you should get it and Marco Polo
Jason Moore
So fun! Great app! Lots of fun to video back & forth. Love the filters & voice mods!!!
Maya Pettiway
A lot of fun!!!! I love this app! I am able to talk to my sister and she has an Iphone. It's easy to use. My mother uses it and she loves it too! Great fun way to keep in touch!
Dorothy Farrell
Such a great idea I use it to talk with family daily and i love that i can go back amd watch other ones later unlike on snapchat. I have a few besties that I can't talk into using it but I will win! As far as the application it's fun and getting to talk to my niece and nephew daily is AMAZING!
Chris Cole
Great app just wish I could delete received messages also. If there is a way please let me know
Kiing Righteous
Popin I cant lie its like video textin i love it so far one of my favs in a long time!
Arielle Cunningham
Videos aren't coming thru ever since the update I'm constantly having to Uninstall and re install. But other than that I love the app.
George Holland
Why in the world is the default everyone When logging in it asks do you want to invite everyone, I thought like a normal person it would be set to no one. But now I'm cleaning up the mess your app made.
T. Ramos
Pretty cool app?! Barely downloaded this app & gotta say it's worth the download so far. New 2 the whole face chatting cuz I don't snapchat not even Facebook!
Mindy Howard
It's fun, but .... At setup, I didn't notice it already had all my contacts checked on the add friends portion, and hit next. I sent out an invite to everyone in my contact list, Lord knows we all keep tons of numbers that we wouldn't use this for! Please correct that Marco Polo it was really embarassing getting a text from my lawyer asking why I just tried to friend him!!
Vickie Crowley
Love it I love it because when I'm gone away from home I can see that the house is still in one piece. And it's very family friendly.
BiggBoss Cabe
I'll give it a 5* I wish I could change the notification so I could make it more loud. But this is easy to use and better than whatsapp .
Marcus Roberts
Like the app... works well... very innovative... my only issue is if I log on to the app it broadcasts I'm on there... There should actually be an invisible option and live option...
Teresa Romine
Marco polo This is a pretty cool chat app. The kids really like the helium tool.
Michealia Knight
Its ok but not the best I like messenger better because you face time for free and call for free and text it is much better than this app here
Shawny Torrence
Why doesn't my front camera work???? My front camera works on other apps but not this one??? I'm using a Galaxy note 3.
Zac Wolfe
It's a win I was hesitant to download another video chat app but this one is the most streamlined and intuitive. Super easy to use and the best way to keep in touch with friends and family! If you must use while driving, it's safer than texting
Sarah Chinn
NOT HAPPY When I try to send my fiance a clip my message is all distorted and he can only hear audio...
Taylor Aldo
Love it Love chatting with my parents! Only thing that stinks is that it does drain your battery quickly and crashes/freezes on me sometimes.
Allan McKinney
Camera quality Would be 5 stars but the camera quality could be a lot better. I know it's not my phone I have a galaxy note 5
Kathy Hudson
Fun...Fun...Fun This app is a great way to keep in touch and have fun. Love it!
Kevin Josey
Having So Much Fun w/ MarcoPolo This is a great app. The features that allow you to change your voice and the video exposure has let me bring a smile to family and friends alike since I started using it. ?
Danielle Thomas
Awesome app Love it..works great..no problems at all!! Great 4 keeping in touch with friends and family?
Richard Gutierrez
Marco Polo Addictive, Fun, Creative , The writing feature during video is EPIC! The filters are great.Looking forward to more from this app..Great App

Bobbi Hensley

Joel Drotleff
Better than texting Ever since I got in the habit of sending Marco polos i never want to text anymore. It's so much quicker and feels like you're really there with the person. Texting is cold and distant.
bernee thomas
LuckyCharmz Keeps me and my family talking for hours. Great app
JIENNETTE RIVAS JIMENEZ Jackson
I LOVE IT I Don't hv face time, my grown children talk to me on this app since they all hv different phones so, I found this to be easier so now I'm trying to figure out the group video chat, hope it wrks..
Amy Merchain
Yeeaassss!! I luv this app. I see my best friend in West Virginia everyday from California? luv it
Daniel McPheeters
I unknowingly texted every single contact!! Omg I just sent close to 1000 texts. Thanks for the clear option to NOT text every flipping contact I have.
Aniya Stafford
Eeeeeehhhhhhhhh I think it is simular to snap chat but snap chat is kind-of better
Matthew Sanders
More voice It's very awesome love this app more then snap chat I think to improve it you need to add more voice overs that would be awesome aka daba
ron Piercy
Sucks It sucks won't work
Ann Edmondson
Great idea to say hi to the family and friends. I love being able to send a message to friends and family and them see my facial expressions. Way better than texting 1 or 20 people, the sky is the limit. There a couple of draw backs, you can't put your contacts in any order you want. Also once you delete a contact everything is gone for good!
Where in the world is Toni
Works great. Virus free. When I first invited someone to this app she tried to tell me that it is installed a virus on her phone. Well I'm sure she got the virus somewhere else because it did not give me a virus nor did it give anyone use the app with a virus. The app works great and is a lot of fun. A good way to keep in touch with those who are far away or even with your close friends and family. It has a few fun tools to play with. I'd like to see them add more to that.
Matthew Willis
Cool but could improve Awesome App, hopefully you add more filters and more cool voice changing options. For those who think you need to text all your contacts this app, you don't. Just click the back button on your phone when this prompt pops up and then you will see the "skip" button. Problem solved.
Junior Cortes
Like it alot This app is mad crazy I'm having a blast with it. It's definitely a must have app only wish I could change the notification sound for it. I miss alot of my friends talk backs because I don't hear the notification please fix that so as to allow personalization of the notification sound!
Jon Anderson
So fun. Well done guys. I love it. The only complaint I'm getting is how it default-sends invites to recipients when they first open the text invite. Maybe change that and the wording on the initial text invite to something that looks a little less spammy. After I invited a bunch of my contacts, I spent an hour or so saying: "it's not spam, just try it, I intentionally sent it to you."
Ashley James
Love the app Love this app my family and I have laughed so much at this app and its great for us to keep up with each other besides texting. Also great for the kids they love it too. I just wish it had a few more options with it. The voice changer is our fav makes the videos even more funnier then before. But hope u guys can add some new things to it other then what's on there now and that would make this app even better. But even the way it is now I still love it and give it 5 star's.
Chris Byrd
Unnecessary Notifications Please stop telling me to chat with everyone. The popups ate incredibly annoying. I look at my phone expecting something important and it does double notifications about speaking with everyone. I just disabled all notifications from this app to deal with it.
LaQuenta Weldon
Privacy Problem It was a great app before they automatically notify people when you are on or other are on. I don't want others to start sending messages because they see me on. Is there anyway to change privacy settings?
Da ChozennONE
Marco Polo Rocks! Love this app. Easy to use, lots of fun, definitely glad i downloaded it. The crazy part was after i downloaded it was, that half of my contacts list was already using it. I never knew it. Its way cooler than other apps. Would give 10 stars.
Allisha Drahos
Omg! I love this! Who ever made this thank you so so much..I got to make a friend who recently lost her husband laugh because of this app! You guys are awesome. This is really easy to work and use. I recommend this to everyone!
Alaile faleula
Great App This app is fun! I for the most greatly enjoy the app. My one concern is that whenever a person opens the app, it informs others that you've logged on. There needs to be a setting that allows a person to make their status private. If I want to avoid a person, I don't want them to know that I've just logged on or that I'm viewing their video.
Melissa Hamilton
Fun but resource intesive Pretty fun so far! I changed my review from 5 to 3 because this app is draining my battery! In order to keep up with the fun I am tethered to the wall all day.
Aaron Buchman
Nice, but Great idea and design. It works well, but like others have said the notifications get out of hand fast. And, I've noticed everything else on my phone has slowed to a crawl since installing. Drains battery way too fast as well
diego esquivel
Thumbs up! Really cool app, I think it's really gonna catch on. It's gonna do to video calling, what texting did to phone calls. Only thing I would change is the invite message which is "hey get on this so we can chat" Lol
Ryan Frankenstein
Dang near forces you to spam this out by text to 32 people on install. everyone thinks its a virus because of this. Bad notification control. Need to be able to disable notifications when someone is in the app.
Aeric Kugler
Lot's of Fun Very addicting. Having a great time with family and friends with this app. Love the voice filters. Cracks me up every time I use it. Only downside is that continuous use makes my phone overhheat. However, great app!
Zoe Erdmann
Like using this wit my baby daddy when he has our son n i dnt miss out on the silly things he does when hes not wit me. Still tryin to get other ppl to c its fun...maybe the reminder shuldnt jus b the link...maybe find a way to to show the persons first video so they can c it n then decide cuz when most ppl get a link they dnt think twice n automatically assume jts stupid
elysa alvarez
I used to love it, now I hate it Worked great at first, but about a week or two after installing, it began to crash whenever someone sent me a video. I would give it a moment, open the app again, and procede as usual. Then it began to crash whenever I sent a video. Now I can't even open the app! This was a great a app, better than SnapChat (IMHO), but reliability is a big issue. Very disappointed.
Emilie Dudley
Ummm Maybe make it to where all your contacts aren't automatically selected bc that's hella awk to explain that you don't wanna chat to everyone... My phone is still blowing up thanks Obama
Kayla Baker
I really want to give this app 5 stars because it has reconnected me with so many people. I love using it every day and it brings so many laughs. However, there are definitely some glitches that my friends/family and I all experience. The biggest one is that sometimes when I'm either sending a video or watching a video, after a minute or two, the screen just goes black and Marco polo shuts down. No matter how many times I try to re-watch the video, at the same spot, it happens again. This has happened at least 10 times now. I think that once this bug is fixed, it will be much better.
Sandy Jenkins
Love this app but overheats my phone This app is great to stay in touch with loved ones. My sisters and i use it everyday. The onlu downside is when i use it for longer than a few minutes it causes my phone to overheat.
Brock Davis
Constant Notifications I am giving the app 1 star solely because the app is constantly bugging you, sending you notifications asking If you are bored and want to chat with someone. There's no way to turn off this ridiculous notification, or even just the notification sound. All you can do is turn on do not disturb which keeps you from getting any notifications, even the notifications are from someone who actually sends you a message. SUPER annoying and needs to be fixed. Once fixed the app will get 5 stars
Love Lyla
Very disappointed It was great at first. I got all my family friends using it and then it just stopped working. While we used it...it would heat up our phones and stop while video chatting and turning off when we would try recording. And having to update didn't seem to do anything different. Now were back to using face time on Facebook. This MP was so much fun using it. We are all so disappointed ?
Andrew Lawson
It's fun but... The app is great, but it constantly sends notifications to my phone. My phone goes off every 5 minutes while I'm trying to sleep.
Tony N
Be careful this app may spam your contacts After I installed this app (referred to me by my wife) it presented me a list of my contacts to refer. However there was NO option to move forward in the app with out actually unselecting EVERY contact THEY recommended. 32 to be exact! In the upper right hand corner there was a next option and it wasn't a green button accepting this action. This was mistaken to be just click through "next" button in a flow. Once clicked it sent a text to all those contacts it selected! This workflow is horrible!
Alisha Tucker
Needs work Notifications to damn near all of my contacts...not good! no privacy settings?? Notifications whenever someone i might know is on...pass Fix those...5 stars
Carmen Petro
Awesome Awesome app to stay in touch with friends. As of right now the only thing I do not like is the constant notifications. Is there a way to turn then off?

Works great! I have other video chat apps on my phone but this one seems to work the best. It's like instant and it has different filters that help depending on the environment. Think it's a brilliant and simplistic app.
Love the app, but it tries to invite all contacts Been laughing my head off for 10 minutes, talking to my besty in WA. This app got shared with me by accident - it auto checks your entire contact list and it seems as if you are searching for which of your contacts is already on it, but in fact, it sends a text message inviting your contacts to join. Just uncheck the list and proceed; you can add individuals later, if you decide you like it.

So much fun It may have a few glitches but that's should be normal. Anyway it's fun and easy just to send a video message to someone you love or know
Bryan Stites
Cool App It's a pretty cool app. Works well haven't had an problems with it. Like the filters also. The wife has an iPhone and I have a galaxy so it's cool to send video.
Brian Harmon
It's hreat! Great application. Especially for those who go along time without a loved one. You can see them! And I've had zero issues with the application.
Kathy Bailey
Who wouldn't love this app?! In a world of disconnect, what a great way to talk and see one another's faces on your own time schedule! LOVE IT!

I really enjoy MP! My Sister and I stay connected almost daily BC while living more than 700+ miles away.
Kara Williams
Love the app! It's simple and does what it's supposed to. I really can't think of a drawback, plus I like that everything saves to the server. It's fun, it's easy, they do a tutorial to show you how to use it, and your off from there!
Michael Gill
This app as changed my life! College and a lot of mileage between us. My woman and I feel more connected than ever. We have conflicting schedules and we weren't getting to see each other enough. Snapchat makes your rush all that you want to say in a little amount of time, and with phones, you're unable to see your partners faces, or expressions. Now, I am able to see my girl on my breaks, and I'm able to send all of what I need to say to my girl . Surprising her with random "voice mails" of cute different ways to make her smile or laugh when she gets them. thanks you!

Canada's advertisers are making important changes in how they pay the actors that appear in their commercials, in a reflection of a wider shift in advertising spending on digital media.
The new agreement between the actors's union, ACTRA, and groups representing the ad industry in Canada – the Association of Canadian Advertisers (ACA) and the Institute of Communication Agencies (ICA) – was announced in late July after four months of negotiations, but was not fully ratified until midnight on Sunday. The three-year agreement came into effect on Monday, and the groups involved are now discussing its changes in greater detail.
There are two major changes to the agreement, governing how companies are required to pay for talent in ads. Both changes signal larger shifts in advertising in general – and more to come.
More "reality" permitted
Two years ago, Budweiser produced an ad in Canada featuring a men's rec league hockey team that the brand surprised by filling their arena with enthusiastic fans. But ACTRA Toronto cried foul that the more than 500 "background performers" involved were non-union and were compensated with "much less than industry-standard pay."
However, the trend of advertisers wanting to use real people for more authenticity in their ads is not going away. Think of WestJet's blockbuster Christmas ad that surprised real travellers with their wishes from Santa, for example. The new agreement allows for more of it.
"Sometimes you need the verisimilitude of a real, surprised reaction," said Bob Reaume, ACA vice-president of policy and research. "It appears more and more to be in the creative toolkit these days. ... One thing we don't want to do in this contract is to put handcuffs on creative people."
ACTRA is hoping to avoid forcing advertisers to go totally outside of the union if they want to use real people; and to be able to use union performers where needed in reality-style commercials, as well.
"We were worried that if we don't provide these easements, that major brands will produce commercials non-union," said Stephen Waddell, ACTRA's national executive director and chief negotiator on the new agreement. "That's a big give, on our part. ... We've got reality television, now we've got reality commercials."
Performances in online ads are no longer discounted – sort of
For the past six years, actors have agreed to accept less pay for appearances in digital ads. When online video advertising still accounted for less than 20 per cent of ad spending in Canada, the union agreed to cut its rate for video shoots in half: for TV ads, companies had to pay for a minimum eight-hour day, whereas for online ads they could call actors for a four-hour half day. (Online video ads that took longer to shoot would still pay more.)
Now that six-year experiment has ended, and the agreement says that an ad shoot is a full day's work, regardless of medium.
It's easy to see what's driving the change: online video is now a major vehicle of advertising. Last year, spending on online ads edged out TV ad spending for the first time in Canada.
"We knew it was a growing area, but we didn't know how important or how real it was eventually going to be," Mr. Reaume said. "...We've come to the conclusion now that spending on the Internet is only going to go in one direction. It's the way we're going to advertise in the 21st century."
While a minimum of eight hours at a rate of $756.50 for a principal performer may seem like a lot of money, actors cannot count on daily work. The day rate accounts for that.
"You're lucky if you get one job in 20 auditions. You have to take into account that a performer has to be prepared, hold themselves available for work, and go to 20 job interviews before they get a chance to work," Mr. Waddell said.
But one discount remains: the "residuals" actors receive – payments for when an ad actually runs – are still higher for TV commercials than for online video ads.
What's more, residuals for ads aired on cable channels are lower than for conventional TV stations such as CTV and Global, even though ratings on specialty channels such as TSN and Sportsnet are no longer as marginal, from a ratings standpoint, as they used to be.
The groups are launching a one-year study to examine this issue, with possible changes on the way.
"With multi-platform use, once you have that commercial in the can, you can use it wherever you want. ... Let's have a structure that cuts across all media platforms," Mr. Waddell said. "We've got to find a new model."
The shift to digital
Advertising spending in Canada at current prices, over the past five years
Online: $1.84-billion (19.5 per cent of total advertising spending in Canada)
TV: $3.1-billion (32.8 per cent of total advertising spending in Canada)

Katy Perry Has Been JonBenét Ramsey This Whole Time, Obviously
"And that's how faking your own death gives you ginormous boobs. Questions?"
Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, parents have stopped vaccinating their kids and eagle-eyed patriots know how to spot which school shootings were clearly staged by Obama. (All of them.) But just when you thought the miracles were over, a new batch of super sleuths have finally proved what all of us have thought but were too afraid to say out loud: Katy Perry is secretly JonBenét Ramsey. And, really, the answers were staring us right in the face once you realize how Masonic sacrifice works and that the Illuminati is basically the goddamn Riddler because it loves leaving clues about its plot to deliver this world to Satan. Also, something about eyebrows, but honestly, that was the sketchy part. Let's not get carried away.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/739,225, filed May 30, 1985, now abandoned.
This invention relates to a continuous method for making ice and contains subject matter which is entitled to the benefit of the filing date of application Ser. No. 26,561 filed on Apr. 3, 1979, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/197,553 filed on October 16, 1980, which in turn is a continuation of application Ser. No. 067/419,548 filed on Sept. 17, 1982 and also this application contains subject matter which is entitled to the benefit of the filing date of application 631,952 filed July 17, 1984.
In today's society vast quantities of ice are used in the preservation and processing of food products. By way of example, it is considered that two pounds of ice are required for each pound of fresh poultry that is retailed. The fishing industry, the dairy industry and the fruit and vegetable industry are also large consumers of ice. Service industries such as hotel, restaurant and hospital also use large quantities. Further, ice is consumed in large amounts in many manufacturing industries.
The manufacture of ice is, therefore, of itself, an important industry. A good proportion of ice manufacturing today is manufactured in block on a batch basis. This is relatively inefficient method. It is labour oriented and time consuming because the large blocks of ice produced take up to 48 hours to form. Inefficiency is increased by the requirement to use heat to melt the bond between the ice and the evaporator. The cost of providing this heat in the harvesting step along contributes substantially to the inefficiency of the process. Notwithstanding these inefficiencies, however, the method continues to be used.
There are also continuous methods of making ice in current use with mixed success. In the continuous methods of making ice presently used ice is formed from water on the walls of an evaporator from which it must be broken away by a rotating auger. Variations of bond strength and irregular pattern of ice formation have caused an irregular torque requirement for the auger shaft drive. The irregularity of this torque requirement has been such that many attempts at evaporator designs for continuous ice making machines have failed.
It is known to take a mixture that is at less than eutectic concentration, contain it in container, agitate the mixture, and cool the sidewall of the container to crystalize water in the solution and concentrate the remainder. Such a general method is the basis for making ice cream. The method has also been proposed to be used for the concentration of the eutectic solution in the case where the solution is, for example, brewed coffee or orange juice. Such a proposal is found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,328,972 and 3,328,058 to Svanoe.
In the Svanoe reference a coffee or like brew is described and the brew is concentrated by the continuous removal of ice crystals which are formed. In this patent the brew mixture is contained in a container and the sidewall is cooled to cool the mixture below its freezing point and form ice crystals which are removed. It is necessary to prevent crystal formation on the sidewall of the container and Svanoe discloses the achievement of this by operating agitators to maintain a turbulent zone of annular cross section defined by the ends of the agitators and the cooling wall of the container. The turbulence of the liquid in this zone scours the sidewall to prevent crystals of ice from building up. The mixture is subcooled in the turbulent zone and passes therefrom to the centre area where larger harvestable water ice crystals grow. These larger water ice crystals are removed to yield a more concentrated brew. In the disclosed method ice making is not the end object but ice is a byproduct. Concentration of the brew is the object of the method.
The method of Svanoe is a very delicately balanced method and operating conditions must be carefully controlled. It is important that ice crystals should not form on the sidewall of the container. This would stop the process. They must be directed to the centre of the container before they reach harvestable size. If the Svanoe method is capable of doing this at all it is capable of doing it under difficult to control conditions only and only at a rate that would not give any reasonable production of ice if the method were extended as a means of producing ice as a marketable end product.
In his specification, Svanoe expresses concern about the formation of ice crystals on the container wall. The reason is that if ice crystals form on the container wall the process is stopped because the general process essentially is subcooling the mixture at the container wall and removing it to the centre area where it can grow into crystals at a reasonable rate for crystal removal. Thus, prevention of the formation of ice crystals on the container wall is important and Svanoe achieves this by maintaining a high agitation zone close to the wall of the container. As noted above, the agitated liquid close to the container wall scours the wall and removes ice particles before they grow to harvestable size. This method, however, is not efficient. As appears from Svanoe's specification at column 7, line 42, heat is transferred through the heat transfer surface of the container at a rate of about 300 1600 BTU's per square foot per hour. To increase this heat transfer rate with the Savnoe method would result in crystal build-up on the container wall and breakdown of the method. A good many precautions are necessary in order to get even this relatively low heat transfer with Svanoe. For example, he must provide for feed-back of ice crystals in order to provide for crystal growth. He must also accurately control temperature differentials throughout the system. Thus, his method is capable of only a low rate of heat transfer and it is delicately balanced. It is not efficient enough from a capacity point of view to produce ice on a commercial basis.
The Svanoe method is inefficient. It is possible to operate equipment of the Svanoe type with applicant's method and achieve a water ice ouput of over ten times that of Svanoe. Svanoe claims in his specification to be able to transfer about 300 to 1600 BTU's per square foot per hour by using the applicant's invention.
The applicant scours differently from Svanoe and is able thereby to maintain a critical temperature range at the heat transfer surface to effectively avoid crystalization at the surface thereby increasing the the ice making efficiency to a most remarkable extent.
The essential difference in the applicant's method and the method of Svanoe is that in the case of the applicant's method the inside of the heat transfer surface is wiped by a blade to prevent the formation of water ice crystals. Svanoe uses an entirely different method for attempting to move a super cooled layer of liquid from the surface to the centre and the difference is critical to the achievement of applicant's improved results.
Other patentees in this field, such as Spiegl, form crystals on the side of the container and scrape them. This is a very inefficient method of forming crystals and results in a very low transfer of cooling from refrigerant through the container wall for a given size container.
Svanoe proposed the concept of subcooling the surface layer of liquid in the container and transferring it from the surface to the interior, but he did not know how to effectively put the concept into practice to get a higher yield. With Svanoe the subsurface layer is cooled substantially more than one degree below the freezing point and the formation of ice crystals at the cooling system is inevitable. When this occurs the system breaks down and the efficiency reverts to that of Spiegl where crystals are scraped from the container wall. Applicant avoids the inevitable breakdown of the system disclosed in Svanoe and is able to maintain a high rate of heat transfer and ice crystal production.
Scouring will permit one to operate the system without danger of forming ice crystals on the wall and this is, in numerical terms done by cooling the layer of mixture immediately adjacent the side wall of the container no more than 1� below the freezing point of the mixture in the chamber. The turbulence described in the Svanoe patent is not capable of removing the surface layer at a rate to keep the temperature within the one degree limit if the wall is cooled at a rate of at least 4000 BTU's per square foot of container wall. The combination of these things is not possible with Svanoe with the result that Svanoe is not able to approach any where near the efficiency of the applicant.
The object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for producing ice on a continuous basis that is simple, reliable, free from major operating problems, employs simply designed equipment and is economical.
According to the present invention there is provided an ice-making machine comprising housing to receive a fluid from which ice is to be made and having an outlet to permit the egress ice from said housing,
a heat exchanger means located within said housing and having a coolant inlet and a collant outlet to permit a flow of coolant to extract from said fluid, and including at least one heat exchange surface separating coolant from said fluid,
means to maintain a body of fluid in said housing to fill substantially said housing and cover said heat exchange surface,
blade means in contact with said surface and movable about an axis to move across said surface, and drive means operable upon said blade means to drive said blade means about said axis, said drive means moving said blade means across said surface at a speed such that successive passes of said blade means removes a cooled layer prior to crystallization of ice on said surface, said blade means being configured to discharge fluid from said surface into the body of fluid in said housing to maintain a substantially uniform temperature therein.

FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of apparatus for practising the invention; and
FIG. 2 is an illustration of a temperature concentration curve for a brine mixture.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a second embodiment of an ice making machine.
FIG. 4 is a view on the line 4--4 of FIG. 3.

FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of a third embodiment of ice making machine.
This invention has been successfully practiced using the freezing system of a Neopolitan Vogt-Model V3100 ice cream freezer and a NaCl brine mixture and it will be described having regard to that apparatus and mixture. It is, however, not intended that the invention be limited to that apparatus or that mixture.
In FIG. 1 the numeral 10 refers to a freezing cylinder. It has a dasher chamber 12 through which a brine mixture is continuously circulated by means of the pump 14. The brine mixture enters the chamber as at 16, is cooled therein to form ice crystals as will be referred to later and leaves the chamber from exit port 18 as a pumpable slush-like mixture. It then proceeds to a mechanical separator 20, which in the apparatus successfully operated to date consists of a strainer that holds the ice crystals and permits the liquid of the mixture to pass through. The ice crystals are removed and the remaining mixture is conducted to the circulation tank 22. Water from the supply 24 is added to the circulation tank to replace the water taken from the brine mixture by removal of the ice crystals. Thus, the water that makes the ice is added to the system as make-up water. Numeral 23 is a tank containing concentrated solute which can be added to the system as required to replace lost solute.
Within the dasher chamber a scouring paddle is continuously rotated by motor 26 to scour the sides of the chamber and prevent a build-up of ice on them. The scouring paddle is of standard design on these machines.
The dasher chamber is surrounded by a jacket 28 to which a condensed refrigerant is continuously supplied from condenser 30. The refrigerant boils in the jacket, and as it does so cools the brine mixture in the chamber to form ice crystals therein. The expanded refrigerant travels from the jacket to the compressor 32 where it is compressed and delivered to the condenser for continuous recycling as in a conventional refrigeration cycle.
As indicated, the freezer, dasher chamber, scouring paddle and associated refrigeration circuit are standard and well known pieces of equipment and detailed reference is not made to them.
Reference to FIG. 2 will be made to explain the invention. This figure illustrates well known characteristics of a brine mixture wherein the solvent is water and the solute is NaCl.
This solution will freeze at the eutectic temperature or temperature of eutectic indicated on the figure. The physical phenomena that occur as the temperature of such a solution is cooled towards the freezing point depends upon its concentration. If the concentration is represented by a point to the left of the point D1 on the curve ice crystals are formed and the concentration of the solution increases as the freezing temperature is approached.
The temperature represented by points D on the curve is known as the eutectic temperature and the concentration represented by the point D1 on the curve is known as the eutectic concentration.
Referring to FIG. 2, if a solution of concentration x, less than the eutectic, at a temperature above 32F, is cooled, it will not solidify when 32F is reached (point A), but continue to cool as a liquid until point B is reached. At this point, ice crystals of pure water will begin to form, accompanied by removal of their latent heat. This increases the concentration of the residual solution. As the temperature is lowered, these crystals continue to form, and the mixture of ice crystals and brine solution forms a slush. When point C is reached, there is a mixture of ice crystals C2, and brine solution of concentration C1, in the proportions of l1 parts of brine to l2 parts of ice crystals in (l1 +l2) parts of mixture. When the process has continued to point D, there is a mixture of m1 parts of eutectic brine solution D1, and m2 part of ice D2, all of the eutectic temperature. As more heat is removed, the m1 parts of eutectic brine freeze at uniform temperature until all latent heat is removed. The frozen eutectic is a mechanical mixture of salt and frozen water, not a solution, and consequently the latent heat must be corrected for the heat of solution. If this is positive, it decreases effective latent heat; if negative, it increases the effective latent heat.
If the initial solution concentration is greater than the eutectic, salt instead of water freezes out as temperature lowers, and the concentration decreses until, at the eutectic temperature, eutectic concentration is reached. In brines used as refrigerating fluid, salt sometimes freezes out because concentration is too high.
With this invention one maintains a concentration of the brine less than the eutectic and preferably about point B on the eutective curve. One does not cool to the eutectic temperature but does cool to form ice. As ice is formed, the ice and the concentrated mixture form a pumpable slush-like composition which is forced into the separator. Water is added to the mixture that is returned to the dasher chamber of the freezer from the supply 24 to maintain the concentration of the mixture workable for the production of ice as it is cooled.
By the addition of water to maintain the concentration of the solution at less than the eutectic concentration one supplies the water to make ice. The cylinder 10 is an especially efficient ice making device because it employs an efficient heat transfer from the refrigerant to the water that is formed into ice.
As the water freezes to take up its heat of crystalization, heat is taken up around the entire surface of the crystal that forms. It represents a very large surface area per unit of water,
With many ice making machines when the ice is formed by buildng a layer on a heat transfer surface of a cylinder the heat transfer surface is small by comparison.
It will be apparent that with this method a certain amount of brine will be removed with the ice and provision is made for maintaining salt strength with concentrator 23. It can be operated to add salt as required.
The scouring paddle operates at a rate of speed that is fast enough to carry the cooled layer of mixture at the side wall towards the centre of the container before the cooled layer crystalizes on the side wall of the container. The paddle tends to move the cooled surface layer in a spiral path towards the longitudinal central axis of the chamber whereby it mixes with the general body of mixture in the chamber and cools the general body of mixture to form ice crystals throughout the body of the mixture. The speed will vary with equipment design and operating conditions but with two scouring blades and a cylindrical chamber having a diameter of about three inches a scouring paddle rotation of about 350 r.p.m. was found satisfactory.
The transformation of water from the liquid to the crystal or solid state takes place suddenly and requires a very substantial amount of energy. The liquid brine must be cooled below its freezing point before crystalization will take place. It is so cooled in a surface layer on the side of the chamber but in the interval before crystalization takes place the so cooled surface layer is moved by the rotating scouring paddle from the side wall of the container towards the centre of the container. The cooled liquid thus removed from the side wall surface of the chamber crystalizes into ice on the centers of crystalization present in the liquid. Thus, the brine acts as a secondary refrigerant in the formation of ice throughout the body of the mixture.
The paddles rotate around the heat exchange wall of the chamber and preferably form a scoop angle therewith of about 45 degrees in the direction of rotation to force the cooled liquid towards the centre of the chamber on a continuous basis.
The system is a very efficient one for forming ice and provides for maximum contact of the brine with the heat exchange surface of the chamber.
As an example, a typical heat exchange chamber having a diameter of three inches has a heat transfer coefficient between the brine and refrigerant of 500 BTU's per hour per square foot per degree Farenheit and the temperature difference between the refrigerant and the brine is 10 degrees Farenheit.
Thus, the capacity of this unit is 500�10=5000 BTU's per hour per square foot of chamber wall.
The blades in the unit rotate and scour the sides of the chamber, for example 350 times per minute and there are two of them so that the dwell time of the surfaced layer of mixture at the side wall of the chamber is 1/350�2=0.00143 minutes=0.000024 hours. The drive means moves the blades at a rate such that the inverval between successive passes of the blades is less than 0.00144 minutes.
The heat given up by the brine mixture to the heat exchange wall in this time is 5000�0.000024=01119 BTU's per rotation of the blade per square foot.
To form ice requires 150 BTU's per pound of ice.
Thus, in one rotation of the auger there is sufficient heat exchange to form 0.119/150=0.00079 pounds of ice per square foot of chamber wall.
Ice at 28 degrees Farenheit has a density of 57.3 lbs per cubic foot. Assuming that 0.00079 lbs per square foot of ice form on each rotation of the auger the maximum thickness of the ice layer before removal from the side of the chamber is 0.00079/57.3=0.000013 inches. This is not enough to constitute an ice layer.
The diameter of the ice crystals harvested from the unit are between 0.002 and 0.003 inches. This is 154 to 384 times the thickness of ice that could be formed on the wall between scouring so that it is clear that with this rate of scouring crystals cannot grow to a harvestable size on the side wall of the heat exchanger. The 0.09 seconds that the brine contacts the wall is not sufficient for crystal formation.
The mixture adjacent the cooling surface of the container that is subcooled in this method is about 0.2 degrees Centigrade lower than the mixture freezing point. The heat given up by the brine to the heat exchanger is 0.119 BTU's per rotation of the blade per square foot of heat exchanger area. This amount of heat transfer represents a subcooling of the mixture to about 0.2 degrees Centigrade below its freezing point. In the method described in Svanoe patent referred to above the mixture close to the heat transfer surface is subcooled to about 3 to 8 degrees Centigrade below the solution freezing point. This striking difference results from the basically different methods of scouring used according to this applicant's method and the method of Svanoe. In Svanoe there is not efficient removal of the subcooled liquid from immediately adjacent the heat transfer surface to avoid problems of ice formation in the area. Svanoe has a turbulent zone of substantial thickness at the heat transfer surface with the result that there is a higher degree of subcooling of a substantially greater volume of mixture. In Svanoe there are great temperature variations within the container. In the case of the present invention the subcooled layer is of infinitesimal thickness as noted above. The subcooled layer is removed as it is formed and at a fast rate so that apart from this very small volume the temperature is substantially the same throughout most of the volume of the container. It is more conducive to good crystal growth throughout the container for harvesting.
The scouring rate will vary with equipment and capacity but in every case the idea is to scour at a rate that avoids cooling substantially below the freezing point at the surface and crystal growth on the side of the heat exchanger chamber whereby to promote crystal growth and formation throughout the body of the mixture.
The mechanical scouring of the surface will achieve a high scouring rate capable of preventing crystal growth on the container wall. It gives a good yield of ice crystals. It will be apparent that for a given piece of equipment the yield of ice will increase with temperature rate of heat transfer. If the rate of heat transfer from the container wall to the mixture tends to be less than 4000 BTU's per square foot per hour of container wall the method becomes insufficient. High ice output for a given size piece of equipment is the key to successful operation. Rates of heat transfer of between 4000 and 5000 BTU's per square foot per hour are contemplated. The higher the rate the more efficient the operation as to capacity.
The method disclosed in the Svanoe patent disclosed above is not capable of operation at these production rates. Svanoe would not remove ice formation from the wall at this rate.
This method further achieves a vast improvement in machine capacity over a method wherein the crystals are permitted to grown on the wall of the chamber and are then harvested by scraping them from the wall with a lower speed auger. With such a method the temperature of the bulk of the mixture is always substantially above freezing and formation of ice crystals takes place only on the limited area of the wall of the chamber. It is not possible to form ice crystals in the bulk of the mixture that is above freezing temperature.
Further, the place of removal of the ice is not critical. It would in the apparatus illustrated by strained in the cylinder and make up water added to the cylinder.
Solutions other than brine could be used. The solvent should, of course, be water based to make ice but the solution could be any nontoxic material that has a suitable eutectic characteristic. Substitutes for salt might be glycerine, propylene glycol, ethanol or calcium chloride.
The ice crystal grow throughout the liquid rather than from the wall outward in a layer. Crystals that form near the wall may attach themselves to the wall but they are removed from the wall as the blades rotate. The growth throughout the liquid is achieved by prevention of larger build up at the cooled surface by mechanical scouring at a rate so that the temperature at the wall is not more than one degree centigrade below freezing point and is preferably no more than 0.2 degrees centigrade less than freezing point.
The foregoing example is of a subcooling of about 0.2 degrees centigrade. The subcooling throughout the mixture cannot be more than this. The amount of subcooling with this invention is necessarily small because the subcooled layer must be removed before it grows to any appreciable size. Subcooling up to one degree centigrade at the surface is contemplated. Greater subcooling than this would result in poor heat transfer.
The unit with a chamber diameter of three inches and three feet in length referred to above has been operated according to this invention to produce 400 pounds of ice per hour. Water is preferably added at a constant rate on a continuous basis but it can be added at intervals provided that the concentration of the brine does not get too high. If the concentration gets too high the process becomes less efficient and if it becomes so high that it passes the eutectic point salt will be deposited in the tank. As concentration gets high ice yield gets low. If concentration is too low one gets too much ice for easy mechanical operation of the unit. Separation of ice from the slush can be done many ways including centrifugal.
An alternative form of ice generator is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. The ice making machine 110 includes a housing 112 having upper and lower end plates 114, 116 respectively and side walls 118. The end plates 114, 116 are square when viewed in plan and cooperate with the side walls 118 to define an enclosed housing. The housing 112 is preferably made from an insulated material to reduce the heat transfer across the walls 114, 116, 118.
An inlet 120 is provided on the upper plate 114 to receive the secondary refrigerant, and an outlet 122 is provided in the lower plate at a diametrically opposite location. Thus, fluid entering the inlet 120 is forced to traverse the housing 112 to reach the outlet 122.
An agitator shaft 124 extends through the housing 112 between the plates 114 and 116 and is rotatably supported at opposite ends by bearings 126, 128 located exteriorly of the housing. The shaft 124 is driven by a motor 130 that is supported on the upper plate 114.
A pair of heat exchanger assemblies 132, 134 is located in the housing 112. The heat exchanger assemblies extend between opposite peripheral walls 118 generally parallel to the end walls 114, 116 and normal to the axis of rotation of the shaft 124. Each of the heat exchanger assemblies 132, 134 is formed with a central aperture 136, 138 respectively to accommodate the shaft 24.
Each of the heat exchangers 132, 134 is of similar construction and accordingly only one will be described in detail. The heat exchanger 132 is formed from a pair of spaced parallel plates 140, 142 of generally circular shape. The plates 140, 142 are maintained in spaced relationship by a honeycomb structure 144 that has open mesh partitions to permit the flow of fluid between the plates whilst maintaining a structural connection between them. An inlet 146 is associated with each heat exchanger and passes through the side wall 118 of the housing. At a diametrically opposed location, an outlet 48 is provided so that coolant may flow from the inlet 146 through the honeycomb structure between the plates 140 and 142 to the outlet 148.
The space between the heat exchangers 132, 134 and the walls 118 is sealed by spacers 49 located in each corner of the housing 112. An aperture 151 is provided in one of the spacers associated with each heat exchanger to permit flow of fluid from one side of the heat exchanger to the other. Successive apertures 51 are arranged in diagonally opposite corners of the housing 112 so that fluid flowing through the housing 112 is caused to flow across each of the heat exchangers 132, 134.
Each of the plates 140, 142 has an outwardly directed heat exchange surface 50 that contacts the fluid provided through the inlet 120. To inhibit the deposition of ice upon the surfaces 150, an agitator assembly is connected to the shaft 124. The agitator assembly consists of a series of disks 152, 154, 156 that are secured to the shaft 124 for rotation therewith. The disk 152 is located between the heat exchanger 132 and the upper end plate 114; the disk 154 is located between the two heat exchangers 132, 134 and the lower disk 156 is located between the heat exchanger 134 and the lower end plate 116.
Extending from each of the disks 152 toward a respective one of the surfaces 150 is a pair of blades 158. The blades 158 are pivotally connected to the disk 152 by a hinge 157 and in the operative position are inclined to the plane of the disk. The blades 158 terminate in a bevelled edge 160 that is in a scraping relationship with the surface 150. The blades 158 are generally rectangular in shape and are accomodated in a rectangular slot 159 in the surface of the disk. The blades 158 are biased into engagement with the surface 150 by flow of fluid past the blades up in rotation of the shaft 124. Resilient biasing means such as torsion springs may be incorporated into the hinge 157 to bias the blades toward the respective surface 150.
The disks 152, 156 each carry a pair of blades 158 directed to the upper heat exchange surface 150 of the heat exchanger 132 and lower heat exchanger surface 150 of the heat exchanger 134 respectively. The disk 154 carries two pairs of blades 158, one pair directed to the undersurface of the heat exchanger 132 and the other pair directed to the upper heat exchange surface 150 of the heat exchange 134. Each pair of blades is aligned on a diameter of the disk with the two pairs disposed at 90� to one another.
In operation, brine is fed to the inlet 120 and circulates through the housing 112, around the heat exchangers 132, 134 through the apertures 151 to the outlet 122.
The primary refrigerant, usually freon, is introduced through the inlet 146 of each of the heat exchangers 132, 134 from the condenser 30 where it flows through the heat exchanger to the outlet 44. As the freon passes through the heat exchanger it absorbs heat through the heat exchange surfaces 150 and boils. The brine in contact with the heat exchange surfaces is thus supercooled. To avoid deposition of the ice on the surface 150 which would inhibit further heat transfer, the agitator assembly is rotated by the shaft 124. Rotation of the shaft 124 rotates the disk 152 and thereby sweeps the blades 158 over their respective heat exchange surfaces 150. The movement of the blades removes the super cooled brine from adjacent the surfaces 150 and distributes it through the body of the brine solution. The super cooled brine will crystalise on centers of crystallisation present in the solution and in turn act as new centres of crystallisation to generate three dimensional crystallisation of the water within the brine solution and thus promote the fomration of ice in a crystalline manner. The brine solution with the crystallized ice in suspension is extracted from the outlet 22 where it may be passed to a separating tower (20) for removal of the balance of the brine solution and conveyed to a storage device or directly to the induce for the ice or directed to the thermal storage heat exchanger 52.
The disposition of the heat exchangers in a plane normal to the axis of rotation of the shaft 124 facilitates the modular expansion of the ice making machine for increased capacity without imposing significant additional structural loads upon the apparatus.
It is anticipated that the capacity of the device utilising a pair of heat exchangers with a diameter of 30 inches would be 6-12 tons per day. The plates 50 would typically be between 3/8-1 thick to provide good heat transfer between the coolant and the brine solution with the honeycomb partitions 144 providing the required strength.
The shaft 124 will be rotated at 150-400 rpm with a throughput of 9-18 gallons per minute.
If desired, the surfaces 150 may be coated with a release agent to inhibit the deposition of ice on the surface. Such a coating may typically be polytetrafluoroethylene, or a silicone water repellant liquid such as Dow Cornings Latex; Silicone 804 or Silicone 890. These may be painted and baked on in accordance with the normal use of such coatings. If coatings are utilised then the blades 158 may act as wipers rather than scrapers as the coating will in itself discourage the deposition of the crystals.
FIG. 6 shows schematically an alternative arrangement of the heat exchange and agitators in which the disks 152, 154 and 156 are replaced by oscillating wipers 170. The wipers may be driven by any suitable form of oscillating mechanism, but again their axes of rotation are normal to the plane of the heat exchanger assembly.
It will be appreciated that the blades 158 may be supported on any convenient carrier assembly connected to the shaft 124, such as a spider arrangement, rather than the discs 152, 154, 156. Further the plates 140, 142 may be maintained in spaced relationship by studs extending between and normal to the plates 140, 142. Whilst the additional surface area provided by the honeycomb portion 44 is considered beneficial, satisfactory results may be obtained by utilising the studs and a coating on the interior of the plates to promote heat transfer. Such a coating is available from Union Carbide under the trade name High Flux coating.

I'm not sure is there is any particular technical advantage to "split" rather than to "merge". I think it just depends on the result size of the ivy.xml and the maintainability of the file. I tend to prefer merge by default. One ivy.xml for one release for potentially many artifact in that release. But for instance for spring, the release contains too many artifacts and too many dependencies. For my private repo, I have preferred to split. > Any advice on the ivy way is greatly appreciated.

Since you're using Ivy, an Ivy metadata are by definition well understood by Ivy. On the other end maven metadata are not perfectly understood by ivy, so sometimes things might not work as expected, just like in any transformation or translation.
