How Does Flake Ice Machine 2.5 Tons Works?

1, ice picking cycle

When the ice reaches the required thickness (normally, the thickness of the ice is 1.5-2.2 MM) in Fresh Water Flake Ice Machine, the hot gas discharged from the compressor is redirected back into the wall of the ice maker to replace the low temperature liquid refrigerant. This forms a film of water between the ice and the wall of the evaporation tube. This layer of water will act as a lubricant when the ice falls freely into the groove below by gravity. The water produced during the ice picking cycle will pass through the porous tank back into the water reservoir, which also prevents the wet ice from being discharged by the machine.

2, refrigerator condenser

It is realized by air-cooled, water-cooled or evaporative condenser. The evaporative type is installed above the ice machine, the water-cooled condenser is installed below the Flake Ice Machine 2.5 Tons or below the refrigeration system, and the air-cooled condenser is installed with the ice machine according to the actual situation. It can also be installed outdoors. If desired, water-cooled condensers can be used on board or on the coast, using sea water for cooling. Evaporative cooling can be used in ambient air temperatures, but it is not suitable for use in water-cooled or air-cooled refrigeration in terms of efficiency and economy.
