Working Principle Of Ice Maker

1. Through the make-up water valve, the water automatically enters a water storage tank, and then the water is pumped to the diversion head through the flow control valve.

2. At the diversion head, the water is evenly sprayed on the surface of the ice maker and flows through the wall surface of the ice maker like a water curtain. The water is cooled to the freezing point, while the water that has not been evaporated and frozen will flow into the water storage tank through the multi-hole tank and restart the circulation.

3. When the ice reaches the required thickness, the hot gas discharged from the compressor is led back to the ice maker's clamping wall to replace the low-temperature liquid refrigerant. In this way, a water film is formed between the ice and the evaporation pipe wall. This water film will play a lubricating role when the ice falls freely into the lower groove by gravity.

4. The chilled water in the water storage tank is continuously circulated through the plate or grid evaporator by the water pump;

5. After the compressor is operated, it will undergo suction compression exhaust condensation (liquefaction) - throttling and then vaporize in the evaporator at low temperature of - 10 to - 18 degrees.

6. The chilled water continuously condenses into ice on the surface of the evaporator at a lower temperature in a water temperature of 0 ℃. When the ice layer condenses to a certain thickness, after the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant reaches the set temperature of the temperature control, the defrosting solenoid valve is turned on, and the heat pump is often used to remove the ice, and then the next cycle is realized.
