The ice machine is practical

This article will be a simple introduction to the basic knowledge of the ice machine, if the ice machine is better to operate and how to buy the ice machine according to your needs, I hope it will be useful to you!

Introduction to the basic knowledge of ice making machine:

1, concept: Ice machine is a kind of refrigeration machinery and equipment that generates ice after the water is cooled by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system through the evaporator. According to the principle of the evaporator and the generation process, the shape of the generated ice is different, and people generally divide the ice maker into particle ice machine, sheet ice machine, plate ice machine, tube ice machine, shell ice machine and so on. The role of ice: The role of ice is divided into three kinds: one for cooling, two for eating, and three for artificial scenes for viewing.

2, the working principle of the ice machine:

1) The chilled water of the storage tank is continuously circulated by the pump through the plate or cell evaporator;

2) After the operation of the compressor, the suction - compression - exhaust - condensation (liquefaction)- throttling - and then in the evaporator to -10 to -18 degrees of low temperature evaporation endothermic vaporization. The frozen water in the water temperature of 0 degrees continuously condenses into ice on the surface of the evaporator at lower temperatures. When the ice condenses to a certain thickness, the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant reaches the set temperature of the temperature control, that is, the defrosting solenoid valve is often deiced in the form of heat pump. Implement the next loop.

3) Ice making cycle: Through the supplementary water valve, the water automatically enters a storage tank, and then through the flow control valve the water is pumped to the diverter head, where the water evenly sprayed onto the surface of the ice maker, like a water curtain flowing through the wall of the ice maker, the water is cooled to the freezing point, and the water that is not frozen by evaporation will flow through the porous tank into the storage tank and start the cycle again.

4) Ice collection cycle: When the ice reaches the required thickness (the thickness can be arbitrarily selected by the operator/user), the hot gas discharged from the compressor is redirected back to the wall of the ice maker to replace the low-temperature liquid refrigerant. This creates a film of water between the ice and the wall of the evaporation tube, which will lubricate the ice as it falls freely under gravity into the tank below. The water produced during the ice harvesting cycle is returned to the storage tank through the porous tank, which also prevents the wet ice from being discharged by the machine.

5) Refrigeration machine condensation: there are air cooling, water cooling or evaporative condenser. The evaporative type is installed above the ice machine, the water-cooled condenser is installed under the ice machine or under the refrigeration system, and the air-cooled condenser can be installed together with the ice machine or installed outdoors according to the actual situation. If needed, water-cooled condensers can be used on ships or off the coast, using seawater for cooling. Evaporative cooling can be used in high ambient air temperature, but from the point of view of efficiency and economy, it is not suitable for use in water-cooled or air-cooled refrigeration conditions.

3, Application: widely used in hotels, restaurants, fast food restaurants, karaoke dance halls, cafes, supermarket preservation, fisheries, food processing, medical and health, family and other various consumption places
