Ice Block Machine With Direct Refrigeration System
The direct cooling block ice machine is a type of ice-making equipment designed to produce large blocks of ice. It uses highly efficient thermally conductive aluminum alloy material for heat exchange with the refrigerant. It has a lower freezing temperature to make ice formation faster and makes the ice blocks take more time to melt.
Advantages of Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine:
1. High-Quality Ice: Produces clear, odorless, and hygienic ice blocks suitable for food, beverages, and medical applications.
2. Faster Ice Production: Direct heat exchange accelerates the freezing process, leading to quicker ice block formation.
3. Lower Maintenance Costs: No need to manage or replace brine, reducing maintenance requirements.
4. Environmentally Friendly: No risk of brine contamination or saltwater disposal issues.
Direct System Block Ice Making Process:
1. Water Filling: Water is pumped into specially designed molds or ice trays.
2. Direct Refrigeration: The refrigerant circulates through a series of pipes or plates that are in direct contact with the water molds.
3. Freezing Process: As the refrigerant cools the molds, the water inside begins to freeze, forming large block ice.
4. Removal of Ice Blocks: Once the ice reaches the desired thickness, it is removed from the molds, typically using a mechanical lifting system or hydraulic pressure.
5. Storage: The ice blocks are then stored in an insulated space until they are ready for use.
