1.Insufficient Refrigerant: New machines are initially filled with an adequate amount of refrigerant upon delivery. However, if there are leaks in pipelines, welds, or connections during operation, it can lead to continuous refrigerant leakage, insufficient inventory, and inadequate refrigerant circulation. This directly reduces the overall refrigeration efficiency of the system, resulting in a noticeable decrease in ice output.

2.Poor heat dissipation in the cooling system, scaling of supporting equipment such as cooling towers and evaporative cooling systems, fan malfunctions, insufficient air volume, or impeded water circulation can all lead to obstructed heat dissipation in the unit, increased condensing pressure, and a significant deterioration in the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigeration system.

3.Incorrect setting of compressor loading parameters, improper adjustment of compressor loading, and incorrect matching parameters prevent the unit from achieving its rated operating load. This results in insufficient compression work, reduced refrigerant compression efficiency, and overall refrigeration capacity that fails to meet standard operating conditions.
4.The oil cooling valve is not locked tightly or completely, and the oil cooling circuit remains in a normally open state for a long time, continuously removing heat from the compressor. This results in the body temperature not reaching the working standard, abnormal compression conditions, and reduced refrigeration performance.
5.The system filter element is clogged due to oil accumulation in the oil circuit, and the refrigerant pipeline filter is blocked by oil and impurities accumulated from long-term use. This increases the resistance to medium flow in the pipeline, hinders the circulation of refrigerant and lubricating oil, and affects both heat exchange and lubrication of the unit.
6.Impurities and moisture from the system accumulate inside the expansion valve, causing blockage of the throttling component. This prevents the refrigerant from undergoing normal throttling and circulation, leading to insufficient liquid supply to the evaporator, resulting in ice formation and a significant deterioration in cooling effect.
