Four key points in the workflow of commercial flake ice machines

The commercial flake ice machine is a kind of refrigeration mechanical equipment that generates ice after water is cooled by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system through the evaporator. According to the principle of the evaporator and the production process, the shape of the ice produced is also different. People generally divide the ice machine into granular ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine, tube ice machine, shell ice machine and so on according to the ice shape. . No matter what kind of ice it is, its use is determined by its characteristics. Below we introduce four key points in the ice making process of commercial flake ice machines.
The principle of commercial flake ice making
Water enters the water distribution tray from the water inlet of the evaporator of the flake ice machine, and through the sprinkler pipe, the water is evenly sprinkled on the inner wall of the evaporator to form a water film; the water film exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator flow channel, and the temperature is rapid When it is lowered, a thin layer of ice is formed on the inner wall of the evaporator. Under the extrusion of the ice blade, it breaks into flakes of ice and falls into the ice storage from the ice outlet. Part of the unfrozen water returns to the cold water tank from the water return port through the water receiving tray, and passes through the cold water circulation pump.
Ice cycle of commercial flake ice machine
Through the supplementary water valve, water automatically enters a water storage tank, and then through the flow control valve, the water is pumped to the splitter head, where the water is evenly sprayed on the surface of the ice maker and flows through the ice maker like a water curtain The water is cooled to the freezing point, and the water that has not been evaporated and frozen will flow into the water storage tank through the porous grooves, and the cycle work will start again.
Ice mining cycle of commercial flake ice machine
When the ice reaches the required thickness (under normal circumstances, the thickness of the ice is 1.5-2.2MM), the hot air discharged from the compressor is reintroduced into the wall of the ice maker to replace the low-temperature liquid refrigerant. In this way, a film of water is formed between the ice and the wall of the evaporator tube, and this film of water will act as a lubricant when the ice falls freely into the groove below by gravity. The water produced during the ice mining cycle will return to the water storage tank through the porous groove, which also prevents the wet ice from being discharged by the machine.
Commercial flake ice machine refrigerator condenser
There are air-cooled, water-cooled or evaporative condensers. The evaporative type is installed higher than the ice machine, the water-cooled condenser is installed under the ice machine or under the refrigeration system, and the air-cooled condenser is installed together with the ice machine according to the actual situation. It can also be installed outdoors. Water-cooled condensers can be used on board or at sea if required, using seawater for cooling. Evaporative cooling can be used in high ambient air temperature, but from the perspective of efficiency and economy, it is not suitable for water-cooled or air-cooled refrigeration conditions.
There are three functions of commercial flake ice machines: one is for cooling, the other is for eating, and the third is for artificial scenes for viewing. In terms of subdivision, ice machines are widely used in industries such as aquatic products, food, supermarkets, dairy products, medicine, chemistry, vegetable preservation and transportation, and marine fishing. With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's production levels, more and more industries using ice The wider the area, the higher the quality requirements for ice. The requirements for "high performance", "low failure rate" and "hygiene" of ice machines are becoming more and more urgent.
