Ice maker (English Name: ice maker or ice machine) is a kind of refrigeration mechanical equipment that generates ice after water is cooled by the refrigerant of the refrigeration system through the evaporator. It uses the refrigeration system and water carrier to produce ice after passing through a certain equipment in the energized state. According to the principle and production mode of evaporator, the shape of ice is also different; People generally divide the ice making machine into particle ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine, tube ice machine, shell ice machine and so on< br /> 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. There, the water is evenly sprayed on the surface of the ice maker and flows through the wall 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 porous tank and restart the circulating work< br /> When the ice reaches the required thickness (the thickness can be arbitrarily selected by the operator / user), the hot gas discharged from the compressor will be led back to the clamp 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 evaporation pipe, which will lubricate when the ice falls freely into the lower groove by gravity. The water generated in the ice mining cycle will return to the water storage tank through the porous tank, which also prevents the wet ice from being discharged by the machine< br /> 1. The chilled water in the water storage tank is continuously circulated by the water pump through the plate or grid evaporator< br /> 2. After the compressor is running, it will undergo suction compression exhaust condensation (liquefaction) - throttling and then evaporate at a low temperature of - 10 to - 18 ℃ in the evaporator. The chilled water continuously condenses into ice on the surface of the lower temperature evaporator in the water temperature of 0 ℃. When the ice layer condenses to a certain thickness and the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant reaches the set temperature of the temperature control, the defrosting solenoid valve is switched on. The heat pump is often used for deicing, and then the next cycle is realized< br /> Key words: commercial ice maker_ Industrial ice maker_ Seawater ice maker_ Bar ice maker < br / >
