An ice making machine has a water system, including a pump, an ice-forming mold and interconnecting lines therefore; a refrigeration system, including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, an evaporator in thermal contact with the ice-forming mold, and a receiver. The receiver has an inlet connected to the condenser, a liquid outlet connected to the expansion device and a vapor outlet connected by a valved passageway to the evaporator. In a preferred embodiment, two interconnected receivers are used. A cabinet housing the evaporator is preferably less than 18 inches deep. The pump is preferably mounted so that the pump motor is located outside of the water compartment, but can still be removed from the front of the machine.

A vehicle air conditioner having automatic control according to claim 2, wherein said air conditioning is at least one of a blow-out mode of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, a blowing air amount of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, an inlet mode of air sucked into the vehicle air conditioner and a blow-out direction of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment. 4. A vehicle air conditioner having automatic control, comprising: an operational portion for setting a desired condition in the air conditioning of a passenger compartment of the vehicle that is manually operated by a passenger: a memory portion for memorizing information of said desired condition in association with a detected value of an environmental condition relating to the air conditioning of the vehicle, and for correcting the memorized information of said desired condition based on an operation of the operational portion; and a control portion for automatically controlling the air conditioning of the passenger compartment of the vehicle based on the memorized information determined by the detected value of the environmental condition that is read from said memory portion, wherein: when the content of a former memorized information read before the detected value of the environmental condition changes is different from that of a latter memorized information read after the detected value of the environmental condition changes, the content of the former memorized information is varied gradually so as to approach that of the latter memorized information, and wherein, the air conditioning is automatically controlled based on said gradually varied information; and the content in the information is varied gradually so as to change by a predetermined step after a predetermined degree of temperature has changed. 5. A vehicle air conditioner having automatic control according to claim 4, wherein said air conditioning is at least one of a blow-out mode of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, a blowing air amount of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, an inlet mode of air sucked into the vehicle air conditioner and a blow-out direction of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment. 6. A vehicle air conditioner having automatic control, comprising: an operational portion for setting a desired condition in the air conditioning of a passenger compartment of the vehicle that is manually operated by a passenger; a memory portion for memorizing information of said desired condition in association with a detected value of an environmental condition relating to the air conditioning of the vehicle, and for correcting the memorized information of said desired condition based on an operation of the operational portion; and a control portion for automatically controlling the air conditioning of the passenger compartment of the vehicle based on the memorized information determined by the detected value of the environmental condition that is read from said memory portion, wherein: when the content of a former memorized information read before the detected value of the environmental condition changes is different from that of a latter memorized information read after the detected value of the environmental condition changes, the content of the former memorized information is varied gradually so as to approach that of the latter memorized information, and wherein, the air conditioning is automatically controlled based on said gradually varied information; and said air conditioning is a blow-out mode of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, the blow-out mode comprises: a face mode in which the conditioned air is blown toward an upper body of the passenger, a foot mode in which the conditioned air is blown toward feet of the passenger and a bi-level mode in which the conditioned air is blown toward the upper body of the passenger and the feet of the passenger, wherein: the blow-out mode is automatically selected among the face mode, the foot mode and the bi-level mode; the foot mode is set as the blow-out mode after the bi-level mode is selected as the blow-out mode for a predetermined time period when the blow-out mode changes from the face mode to the foot mode due to change in the environmental condition; and the face mode is set as the blow-out mode after the bi-level mode is selected as the blow-out mode for a predetermined time period when the blow-out mode changes from the foot mode to the face mode due to change in the environmental condition. 7. A vehicle air conditioner having automatic control according to claim 6, wherein said air conditioning is at least one of a blow-out mode of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, a blowing air amount of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment, an inlet mode of air sucked into the vehicle air conditioner and a blow-out direction of the conditioned air blowing into the passenger compartment. 8.
