Flake ice machine is a kind of ice machine. According to the water source, it can be divided into fresh water flake ice machine and sea water flake ice machine. Generally, it is an industrial ice machine. What are the structural components of the flake ice machine? And what are the precautions for using the flake ice machine? The following editor will take you to understand the structure principle of the flake ice machine and the contents of the precautions for use. Welcome to read!
The structure principle of flake ice machine:
The flake ice machine consists of the following four parts. By having a rough understanding of the structural principles and names of each part, installation and future maintenance can be greatly facilitated.
1. Evaporator.
The evaporator is where the ice flakes are formed. The refrigerant in the refrigeration system exchanges heat with water through the inner wall of the evaporator, absorbs a large amount of heat, and rapidly cools the water flowing over the inner wall of the evaporator to a temperature below the freezing point, and freezes instantly.
2. Water supply circulation device.
The water supply circulation device includes a water tank, a water pump, a water supply pipe, a water diffuser, and a water receiving plate and a trough. The specific flow route of the water is: the water flow from the external water source enters the water tank, and there is a floating ball valve in the water tank to control the water level in the water tank. If there is too much water, the water tank will be drained from the overflow, so be sure to connect a drain pipe to the overflow to direct the water to the sewer system; the pump directs the water from the water tank to the upper part of the ice maker unit, from the upper water supply opening , pour the water into the water diffuser, and sprinkle it evenly on the inner wall of the evaporator from the water diffuser; some water freezes, and the unfrozen water falls along the inner wall of the evaporation bucket into the water receiving plate, flows along the water guide, and flows into the water tank for recirculation. .
3. Spindle drive part.
The low-speed rotation of the main shaft is driven by a motor with a reducer.
Fourth, the ice scraping part.
The scraper is fixed by the brackets protruding from the upper and lower ends of the main shaft. There are two types of scrapers. The one shown in the above picture is a spiral knife and the other is a rake knife. The structure of the corresponding ice maker is different, please note Product number.
The blade cuts the ice layer along the inner wall of the evaporator, and the ice with a certain thickness is peeled off the inner wall to form ice cubes of a certain uniform shape. The ice cubes fall into the lower refrigerator from the ice cubes of the ice maker unit by gravity.
Precautions for the use of flake ice machine:
1. The flake ice machine should be installed in a place far away from heat sources, without direct sunlight and with good ventilation. The ambient temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius, so as to avoid poor heat dissipation of the condenser due to excessive ambient temperature and affect the ice making effect. When installing the flake ice machine, the ground should be firm and level, and the ice machine must be kept level, otherwise it will cause no ice removal and noise during operation.
2. The gap between the back and the left and right sides of the flake ice machine is more than 30cm, and the gap on the upper part is more than 60cm. Use an independent power supply, dedicated line power supply, equipped with fuses and leakage protection switches, and must be grounded reliably.
3. The water used by the flake ice machine should meet the national drinking water standards, and be equipped with a filter device to filter impurities in the water, so as not to block the pipeline and pollute the sink and ice mold. And affect the ice making performance.
4. When transporting the flake ice machine, it should be handled with care to prevent violent vibration. The handling slope should not be less than 45 degrees. After long-distance transportation, the flake ice machine should be placed for 2-6 hours before starting the machine.
5. When cleaning the flake ice machine, the power supply should be turned off. It is strictly forbidden to use the water pipe to directly aim the machine for cleaning, scrub with neutral detergent, and strictly use corrosive solvents such as acid and alkali to clean.
6. The flake ice machine must rotate the head of the water inlet hose for two months to clean the filter screen of the water inlet valve to prevent the sand and mud impurities in the water from clogging the water inlet, resulting in a decrease in the amount of water inflow, resulting in no ice making.
7. The dust on the surface of the condenser must be cleaned every two months. Poor condensation cooling can damage compressor parts. When cleaning, the dust on the condensation surface should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and a small brush, and should not be cleaned with sharp metal tools, so as not to damage the condenser.
8. The pipes, sinks, refrigerators and protective sheets of the flake ice machine should be cleaned every two months. When not in use, it should be cleaned, and the water in the ice mold and refrigerator should be dried with a hair dryer, and placed in a non-corrosive gas and ventilated and dry place to avoid open storage.
