1. A conductive protrusion assembly (100) for an evaporator (101) of an ice-making machine, the conductive protrusion assembly (100) comprising:
a conductive cup (1) defining a chamber (C), the conductive cup is supportable by a support plate (8) of the evaporator (101);
a conductive lid (2) fixed within the chamber (C), dividing the chamber into a cooling section (A) and an insulating section (B),
wherein, the insulating section (B) of the conductive cup (1) is packed with an insulation material,
wherein, the conductive lid (2) is defined with an inlet port (15a) and an outlet port (15b) to circulate a cooling fluid through the cooling section (A); and
the insulating section (B) is defined with a flow passage to allow flow of a defrost fluid.
