How to choose the cooling method of flake ice machine

Flake ice machines are divided into small, medium and large flake ice machines according to the ice production capacity. The ice production capacity of each type of machine is equipped with a different compressor ratio. The heat dissipation methods of flake ice machines are generally divided into air cooling, water cooling and evaporative cooling. But what is the difference between air cooling, water cooling and evaporative cooling, and what are their advantages and disadvantages? Some customers may not understand it enough. Today, the editor will tell you the difference between air cooling, water cooling and evaporative cooling, and how customers should choose the cooling method that suits their on-site installation environment.

According to the manufacturer's normal standard configuration, the design ratio of small flake ice machines with a daily ice production capacity of 3 tons and below is the overall air-cooled heat dissipation method, and the heat dissipation method of medium and large flake ice machines with a daily ice production capacity of more than 3 tons is generally a shell-and-tube condenser with an external water tower Heat dissipation method; if you want to use flake ice to make ice in winter in the northern region, you must choose an air-cooled condenser or an evaporative condenser.

The air-cooled flake ice machine realizes the ice-making function by cooling the heat dissipated by the ice-making system through circulating air; it uses its own fan to force the air to exchange heat with the cooling fins. When installing the air-cooled flake ice machine, just connect the water inlet of the water tank of the flake ice machine with tap water, and then turn on the power to use it. The air-cooled integral flake ice machine takes up little space, is easy to move, and is easy to operate. It is the first choice for many users of small flake ice machines. The disadvantage is that under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to use an air-cooled condenser in places where the ambient temperature exceeds 45°C. Otherwise, the heat dissipation of the flake ice machine will be poor, resulting in insufficient flake ice production, and even the ice machine cannot be turned on normally.
