Working principle of ice maker equipment:

Through the make-up water valve, the water automatically enters a water storage tank, and then the water is pumped to the diversion head through the flow control valve. There, the water is evenly sprayed on the surface of the ice maker and flows through the wall of the ice maker like a water curtain. The water is cooled to the freezing point, while the water that is not evaporated and frozen will flow into the water storage tank through the porous tank and restart the circulating work.

When the ice reaches the required thickness (the thickness can be arbitrarily selected by the operator / user), the hot gas discharged from the compressor will be led back to the clamp wall of the ice maker to replace the low-temperature liquid refrigerant. In this way, a layer of water film is formed between the ice and the evaporation pipe wall, which will play a role of lubrication when the ice falls freely into the lower groove by gravity. The water generated in the ice mining cycle will return to the water storage tank through the porous tank, which also prevents the wet ice from being discharged by the machine.

1. The chilled water in the water storage tank is continuously circulated by the water pump through the plate or grid evaporator;

2. After the compressor is running, it is sucked in - compressed - discharged - condensed (liquefied) - throttled - and then evaporated in the evaporator at a low temperature of - 10 to - 18 degrees. The chilled water continuously condenses into ice on the surface of the lower temperature evaporator at the water temperature of 0 ℃. When the ice layer condenses to a certain thickness and the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant reaches the set temperature of the temperature control, the defrosting solenoid valve is switched on. The heat pump is often used for deicing, and then the next cycle is realized.
