The benefits and precautions of block ice machine

When using the direct cooling block ice machine, the ice cubes he produces have high density, high strength, and are not easy to melt. Its ice cubes are clean and free of impurities. Besides that, the fact that it makes large ice cubes can be 12.5kg, 25kg, 50kg and 75kg. The direct cooling block ice machine is mainly used for fresh-keeping or cooling, transportation or storage of food and aquatic products. The following editor introduces the benefits and precautions of using the direct cooling block ice machine, welcome to read!

Benefits of using direct cooling block ice machine:

The direct cooling block ice machine also adopts the principle of ice making, that is, the refrigerant directly enters the evaporator to exchange heat with water during the production process. There is no intermediate heat transfer medium for direct evaporative ice making, which avoids energy loss caused by refrigerant heat exchange and improves work efficiency. And with it, the heat transfer efficiency is greatly improved. The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 3.2 times that of steel, and the weight is only 1/3 of steel. It will not rust. After many tests, it saves more than 30% energy than traditional ice machines; in addition, since no intermediate cooling medium such as brine is needed during operation, the ice making process is pollution-free. On the premise that the water supply reaches drinking water, what you need to know at this time is that the ice cubes can meet the requirements of the edible standard, which breaks the problem that large ice cubes cannot be eaten. The direct cooling block ice machine series can be made into container type or modular type, easy to operate, the direct cooling block ice machine occupies a small area, and can be designed as a 20-foot cabinet or a 40-foot cabinet during operation. After the ice cubes are formed, they will automatically fall into the specially configured ice receiving and conveying device, without the need for cranes and other lifting equipment, which reduces operating costs and space usage.

The direct cooling block ice machine is more energy-efficient. The power consumption per cubic meter of ice is about 60 kWh, which is more than 30% higher than that of traditional salt water ice making. Furthermore, it is highly automated. Unlike traditional brine ice making, the ice making, water adding and deicing of the direct cooling ice machine can be controlled automatically, which requires manual and driving operations. In addition to this, the direct cooling block ice machine freezes very fast. What we need to know is that the freezing time of the same ice cube is 3-6 hours shorter than that of salt water. The average freezing temperature of the salt water ice cube machine is generally about -10 degrees, while the freezing temperature of the direct cooling ice cube machine is generally about -20 degrees, which saves the freezing time. Low operating costs. This direct cooling ice cube machine does not need salt water, saving labor. In addition, the mold is made of aluminum alloy, and the direct cooling block ice machine has a long service life. However, traditional brine is superior to direct cooling ice cube machines in terms of labor, ice making power, etc.

Precautions for direct cooling block ice machine:

The direct cooling block ice machine is installed as a whole. It is said that all its equipment is installed on the steel frame, which is suitable for container transportation. It can be put into use with a power supply, and the large direct cooling block ice machine is divided into a unit module, an evaporator module and a cooling tower module. Depending on the evaporator module, the output is divided into several parts.

When the direct cooling block ice machine is working, the aluminum plate is mainly used as an evaporator, and the water in the ice bucket is frozen into ice through the direct heat exchange between the refrigerant and the water. The automatic deicing system also heats the inner wall of the ice bucket through hot fluorine, so that the ice falls evenly according to the layout. The equipment mentioned for you today is also in the form of overall installation. All equipment is installed on steel frame, suitable for container transportation. It is easy to install and can be started after power on. Depending on the evaporator module, the output is divided into several parts. Its mechanical modules include compressors, low-pressure condensers, water-cooled condensers, air conditioners, valves, control electrical boxes, etc. In addition, its cooling tower module includes cooling towers, cooling pumps, cooling pipes, etc., and its evaporator module is mainly an evaporator and some auxiliary equipment. All modules meet container shipping requirements. In short, when the compressor is shut down for any reason (lack of water, excessive freezing, power outage, etc.), it must not be started continuously. The direct cooling block ice machine should be restarted every 5 minutes to avoid damage to the compressor! It should also be noted that the direct cooling block ice machine should regularly check the inlet and outlet pipe joints to deal with a small amount of residual water that may leak.

Drain the remaining water in the inner tank of the direct cooling block ice machine without using ice making and breaking ice, dry the inner tank of the refrigerator with a clean cloth, unscrew the drain joint cover at the back of the box, and drain the water in the water tank remaining moisture, then tighten the drain connector cap! When the ambient temperature drops below 0°C, there is a possibility of freezing. Drainage needs to be drained, otherwise the water inlet pipe may break! Or when cleaning and checking the ice machine, please unplug the power plug and don't use it for more than a week. Drain lines from direct cooling ice machines should be checked once or twice a year for blockages. For cooling towers that have not been used for a long time, the power supply should be cut off, the belt should be loosened, and the residual water in the tower should be discharged. At the same time, an outer cover is added to prevent dust from entering and prevent the tower body from aging due to sun and rain. In order to ensure the reliability and service life of the direct cooling block ice machine, the electric hoist must be regularly lubricated and maintained, and the stability and reliability of the steel structure platform must be checked. During daily inspection, any unqualified parts should be repaired, adjusted or replaced immediately.
