What are the concepts of the ice making cycle and the ice harvesting cycle of the ice machine

Ice cycle and ice harvesting time of the ice maker

Freezing cycle:

Through the supplementary water valve, the water automatically enters a water storage tank, and then through the flow control valve, the water is pumped to the diverter 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:

ice machine ice

When the ice reaches the required thickness (thickness can be arbitrarily selected by the operator/user), the hot air discharged from the compressor is reintroduced into the interlayer 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 generated 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.
