The Working Principles of Flake Ice Machines

The working principle of flake ice machine mainly involves refrigeration systems and ice making systems. Here is detailed information：

Refrigeration system.

The system consists of a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The compressor compresses low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is then cooled by the condenser and condensed into high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator, thereby absorbing surrounding heat and achieving refrigeration effect.

Ice making system. 

The system mainly consists of an ice skate, a water pump, a water tank, and a water baffle. The water pump sends water to the ice skate. Due to the surface temperature of the ice skate being lower than the freezing point of water, when the water flow comes into contact with the ice skate, it can quickly solidify into ice. The formed ice layer is crushed into pieces under the compression of the ice skate and falls into the ice storage cabinet. Unfrozen water flows into the water tank and continues to be recycled.

In summary, the working principle of flake ice machine is to absorb heat through a refrigeration system, evaporate water into ice, and then cut the ice into sheets through an ice making system, achieving a continuous ice making process.
