(54) Ice making machine


(57) Provided is a device for cooling a condenser of an ice making machine. Water and air are simultaneously supplied to the surface of the condenser, and heat of vaporization absorbed during evaporation of the water is used, thereby maximizing cooling performance on the condenser just with a small amount of water. In addition, power consumption for operating a blower fan, and a noise from the blower fan can be decreased. In addition, since cool water generated from ice stored in a storing compartment is sprinkled to the condenser, the condenser can be more effectively cooled. In addition, since meltwater is used, water consumption for cooling can be significantly reduced.
