What to pay attention to when buying a block ice machine

At present, there are two main types of block ice machines on the market: ammonia ice machines and fluorine ice machines. Because ammonia and fluorine are two different refrigerants, these two systems are completely different, so it is usually necessary to purchase large-scale ice machines. Ice machine companies should pay special attention to their own situation and make choices when purchasing.
When choosing, consider the following questions:

There are hidden dangers in the large ammonia system. Ammonia is poisonous, flammable and explosive, and accidents in household hydrogen systems occur from time to time; a small amount of ammonia leakage will cause storage and reduction pollution, and a large amount of ammonia pool leakage will endanger people. It is inconvenient and a threat to nearby residents. In residential areas and densely populated areas, the government does not allow the use of ammonia systems. Before making a choice, you should contact the regulatory agency to confirm whether it is possible to build ice with an ammonia system. machine.

The structure of the ice machine in the ammonia system is complex, the number of pressure vessels is large, and the requirements for its stability are high. In order to deal with emergencies, the cold reduction room and the machine room should have sufficient water sources and ventilation facilities. There is a special counter for emergency life-saving supplies of the Department, and there are oxygen (or air) respirators, protective clothing, alkaline filters, gas masks, rubber gloves, rubber water pipes and other protective equipment.
Large-tonnage ice machines need to formulate emergency plans. If employees find that an accident is about to happen or has already happened, they should report it immediately according to the accident reporting procedure. A rescue plan, even if a partial plan is activated, should require rescue organizations to be prepared.
In addition, the large-scale ice machine in the ammonia system has many refrigeration components, and the refrigeration system is relatively complicated. The daily maintenance and damage repair work is very complicated, requiring a lot of manpower, parts and material costs.
Both block ice machines have their own advantages, and you can choose according to your actual needs.
