Three differences between water-cooled and air-cooled flake ice machines

Three differences between water-cooled and air-cooled flake ice machines:

1. Different properties: the water-cooled radiator has a water inlet and a water outlet, and there are multiple water channels inside the radiator. Air cooling is a kind of cooling method, which uses air as a medium to cool the object to be cooled.

2. Different characteristics: air cooling usually increases the surface area of the object to be cooled, or speeds up the rate at which air flows through the object per unit time. Water cooling is mainly composed of radiators, water pipes, water pumps, and sufficient water sources. This means that most water-cooling systems are relatively large in size, and the internal space of the chassis is required to be large enough.

3. Different advantages: the heat dissipation effect of water cooling is much higher than that of air cooling system.

Know the limit condensation temperature of the refrigeration system. To choose the condensation method of the ice machine, you must first understand the ambient temperature. Not higher than 55°C, not lower than 20°C. Generally, water-cooled condensers are not recommended in areas where the ambient wet bulb temperature exceeds 42°C. So whether you can choose a water-cooled condenser, you must first confirm the ambient wet bulb temperature. Generally, when designing a water-cooled ice machine, the customer must be required to provide the local ambient wet bulb temperature throughout the year. At the same time, when the ambient temperature exceeds 50°C, the condenser cannot be cooled with water, and the cooling tower is easily damaged by the high temperature. Cooling towers must be used with sun protection.
