What Are The Functions Of The Accessories Of Commercial Ice Machines?

Commercial ice machines are composed of compressors, condensers, expansion valves, evaporators, dry filters, check valves, solenoid valves, globe valves, oil pressure gauges, electrical boxes, high and low pressure switches, water pumps and other accessories.

Analysis of the role of commercial ice machine accessories:

1. The compressor of a commercial ice machine provides power for the ice machine and is the heart of the ice machine. Inhale low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant and compress it into high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant.

2. Condenser. There are two kinds of condensers: air-cooled and water-cooled. The fan mainly takes away excess heat and cools the high-temperature vapor refrigerant into a liquid at room temperature, providing the necessary conditions for the evaporation of the ice machine. The difference and advantages and disadvantages of air-cooled and water-cooled condensers.

3. Dry filtration is the cleaner of the ice machine, which can filter the moisture and residue in the ice making system to ensure the stable operation of the equipment.

4. The expansion valve is composed of a valve body, a balance pipe and a valve core. Its function is to throttling and expanding the liquid refrigerant into vapor refrigerant, providing conditions for the evaporation of the ice machine, and adjusting the flow rate of the refrigerant.

5. The evaporator of the commercial ice machine is called an ice bucket. The water enters the sprinkler pipe of the evaporator, and the water is evenly sprinkled on the inner wall of the evaporator to form a water film. The water film exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the flow channel of the evaporator, and the temperature drops rapidly, forming a thin layer of ice on the inner wall of the evaporator, which is crushed into ice flakes and falls into the ice storage under the extrusion of the ice blade. Part of the unfrozen water flows back into the cold water tank from the water return port through the water baffle. Whether an ice machine manufacturer can produce evaporators is a symbol of the strength of an ice machine manufacturer.

6. Electric box, usually the electric box will be input into the control system to control the coordinated operation of each accessory. Usually the electrical box is composed of multiple relays, contactors, PLC controllers, phase sequence protectors, switching power supplies and other accessories. The assembled electrical box is much better than the circuit board. The system is stable, safer and more reliable, and it is convenient for maintenance. The disadvantage is that the price is slightly lower. expensive.

7. The one-way valve allows the refrigerant to flow in the design direction to prevent the refrigerant from flowing back and passing through.

8. Solenoid valve for commercial ice machines, to control the flow, speed and pressure of the refrigerant in the ice making system.

9. The ice storage of the commercial ice machine is made of stainless steel and filled with heat insulation. Store ice flakes to ensure that the ice flakes will not melt for 24 hours.
