Ice maker is a specialized equipment for making ice, widely used in hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, supermarkets and other places. The biggest difference between water-cooled and air-cooled ice makers is the cooling method.
The cooling method of ice making machine water cooling is to use circulating water for cooling, which flows to the condenser for heat dissipation, and the hot water after heat dissipation is discharged into the sewer. Its advantages are high cooling efficiency, fast refrigeration, good ice making effect, suitable for long-term operation in high-temperature environments, but the corresponding costs and maintenance are slightly higher.
The cooling method of ice making machine air cooling is to use external air for heat dissipation, and discharge the heat through a fan, which is independent of indoor air. Its advantages are relatively convenient to use and maintain, simple structure, and relatively low price. But the effect is not as good as water cooling in high temperature environments, and it is also affected by indoor air, which affects the speed and effectiveness of ice making.
