All refrigeration equipment like ice making machine is made of four key components: the evaporator, the condenser, the compressor and the throttle valve. Ice machines all work the same way.   The function of the compressor is to compress low-pressure refrigerant vapour to high-pressure vapour, and deliver it to the condenser. Here, the high-pressure vapour is condensed into high-pressure liquid, and drained out through the throttle valve to become low-pressure liquid. At this point, the liquid is conducted to the evaporator, where heat exchanging occurs, and ice is created. This is one complete refrigeration cycle. Many people do not know whether they should choose a commercial ice machine or an industrial ice machine when needing an ice machine. Today I will tell you the difference between the two kinds of ice machines.   Compared with industrial ice machines, commercial ice machines have a small capacity of making ice, and i […]

The ice maker is a kind of refrigeration mechanical equipment that cools the water through the evaporator by the refrigerant in the refrigeration system and then turns it into ice. According to the different principles of the evaporator and the generation process, the shape of the generated ice is also different. People generally divide the ice machine into particle ice machine, flake ice machine, plate ice machine, tube ice machine, shell ice machine and so on according to the shape of ice. According to the use and the characteristics of the ice itself, ice is mainly divided into: tube ice, block ice, particle ice, flake ice (freshwater seawater), plate ice (freshwater seawater), transparent ice, and ice water. No matter what kind of ice, it is determined by its characteristics.   If you just bought an ice machine, how can you maintain it well?  1. After being purchased, ice machine must be placed for 12 hours before it can be used. 2. […]

Snow scarcity means resorts worldwide have been getting creative. They’ve been hauling in snow from higher altitudes, building snow storage facilities, even dumping snow on the slopes via helicopter. But there’s another alternative that’s growing in popularity: indoor skiing. Build a hangar-sized building with an artificial slope, keep it cool with climate control, and smother the whole thing with machine-made snow.

The Manufacturing Process  The production of artificial snow requires a series of devices that can move water and air up the mountain, combine them with a nucleating material, and spray them into the air as small droplets. Typically, the system is installed during the summer months and operated at night after the slopes have closed.

As the midsummer passed by, it gets hotter and hotter. The high temperature affects not only people’s physiology and emotions, but also inanimate objects like machines. Take ice machine as an example. Scorching weather will slow down the operating efficiency of the machine, and even burn the motor because of difficult dissipation. Although it is inevitable for ice machine to be influenced by  high temperature, there is always a way out.

An ice maker, also known as an ice generator or ice machine, is an appliance that is used for producing ice in both the residential and commercial sectors. It is manufactured using various components, which include motors, compressors, condensers, evaporators, throttle valves and heating elements. Among these, the compressor compresses the low-pressure vapor to high-pressure vapor and directs it to the condenser. The condenser helps in condensing the high-pressure vapor into the high-pressure liquid, which is then drained out through the throttle valve. The liquid is then sent towards the evaporator wherein heat exchange takes place and results in the formation of ice.

By using less energy to perform the same task, we can make significant energy savings and reduce waste. This is the basic principle of energy efficiency, and it is one of the most essential ways for the EU to move away from fossil fuels and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Improving energy efficiency will benefit society by reducing emissions and our dependency on energy imports, while also lowering energy costs for citizens and businesses across the EU. The EU energy label The EU energy label is – together with minimum “ecodesign” requirements – a success story that has been key in boosting the energy efficiency of everyday electric appliances like lighting, heating, fridges, freezers and televisions, but also products like fuel boilers, tyres and air conditioners. Since its inception in 1994, EU energy labels have helped steer and guide consumers to choose products that use less energy and therefore, over the products life span, als […]

Cooling as a Service, an initiative aimed at scaling up clean and efficient cooling, has unveiled the winner of its Cooling as a Service (CaaS) Prize, aimed at stimulating new models for sustainable cooling, in what is set to become a $1.5 trillion market over the next 10 years. “Inexpensive cooling systems are cheap to buy but come with a plethora of hidden financial and environmental costs: high energy use, frequent breakdowns, and the use of harmful synthetic refrigerants,” said Thomas Motmans, sustainable energy financespecialist of BASE (The Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy), a Swiss not-for-profit foundation and specialised partner of United Nations Environment which is pioneering the CaaS model. “The climate emergency requires us to rethink our approach to cooling from the bottom up, to tackle emissions, cut waste and improve livelihoods – all while keeping costs low for end users. Fortunately, the Cooling as a Service busines […]

Danfoss has unveiled what is believed to be the world’s smallest electronic expansion valve (EEV), a mini EEV for small air conditioners and Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs), allowing manufacturers to drive greater system efficiency, reliability and quieter operations. Developed in response to market demand for quieter unit operation and greater reliability, the Danfoss ETS 5M is significantly smaller and lighter than the next best alternatives—giving manufacturers the opportunity to create compact system designs or replace in existing systems. For comfort applications, the ETS 5M ensures low acoustic level, and offers full performance bi-flow capability—enabling quiet, precise performance for both cooling and heating. In addition, the ETS 5M is ideal for high evaporating temperature CRACs with direct expansion. Its precise flow control and best-in-class protection against moisture and internal leakage improves system reliability […]

The Manufacturing Process The production of artificial snow requires a series of devices that can move water and air up the mountain, combine them with a nucleating material, and spray them into the air as small droplets. Typically, the system is installed during the summer months and operated at night after the slopes have closed. Installation of the system 1 Artificial snow making requires an entire system to be installed on the mountain slope. This system includes a series of water pipes, electric cables, pumps, and compressors in addition to the snow making machines. First, plans showing the layout of the system are drawn. Then the water pipes and cables are laid in long trenches traversing the entire slope. The trenches must be dug significantly deep so water does not freeze during the winter months. At various points along the water line, valves and hoses are installed to bring water to the surface. Hay bales are placed around the […]
