A new more rapid method of freezing to obtain ice 
in baths and cans is set forth, and the results of its experimental 
testing in a bath and in cellular cans of a thermoelectric ice generator 
are presented. The choice of the type of cooling system is justified, 
and the experimental rig and the features of the experimental procedure 
are described. It is shown that dividing the total thickness of the 
ice block into 3-4 layers allows attaining a maximum 
effect in increasing the capacity of the ice generator within 15%. 
The main factors that determine the efficiency of the layer-by-layer 
lifting buildup of ice were determined and analyzed qualitatively.
