In the hot summer, a cold drink is a much-needed treat. In order to enjoy iced drinks at home at any time, many people will consider buying an ice machine. However, for people who don’t know enough about how ice makers work and how to use them, choosing the right ice maker for you can be confusing. Let’s take a closer look at the appearance, working performance and usage scenarios of the ice machine.
How the ice machine works
The working performance of the ice machine mainly depends on the refrigeration cycle system. This system includes a compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator. The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant in the ice machine into high-pressure gas and then sending it to the condenser. In the condenser, the high-pressure gas is cooled by heat dissipation and condenses into high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Next, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator through the expansion valve, during which the pressure and temperature drop rapidly. Finally, the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator in the ice machine absorbs the heat in the ice making chamber, lowering its temperature and causing the water to freeze.
Ice machine appearance
An ice machine usually consists of a casing, a water tank, a refrigeration cycle system and an ice making chamber. The shell is the outer protective shell of the ice machine, the water tank is used to store water, the refrigeration cycle system is the core component inside the ice machine, and the ice making chamber is where the ice cubes are placed.
Ice machine usage scenarios
Ice machines are widely used in homes and commercial settings. In the home, it can be used to make ice drinks, iced food, ice compresses, etc. In commercial situations, ice machines are indispensable equipment, such as restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. The ice machine can meet the refrigeration needs in different scenarios and provide users with refreshing ice drinks.
