All refrigeration equipment will generate high temperature and high pressure during refrigeration, so the system needs to be cooled, and the Snowman ice machine is no exception. The cooling methods of ice machines are divided into air cooling and water cooling. Air cooling is through the rotation of the fan, the cold air blows through the radiator, takes away the heat, and discharges the hot air; water cooling is cold water entering the machine, flowing through the radiator, taking away the heat, and discharging the hot water.
The pure aluminum fins are evenly distributed and copper tubes are inserted between them to ensure the heat dissipation performance.
- Coil type, with pure copper material inside, stable and even water flow and excellent heat dissipation.
- Air cooling and water cooling each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Please refer to the following description of the characteristics of water cooling and air cooling for your reference when choosing an ice machine.
Advantages of air-cooled ice machines
- The advantage of air cooling over water cooling is that it saves water, but because the fan motor uses electricity, it also uses more electricity than water cooling.
Disadvantages of air-cooled ice machines
- The cooling effect is easily affected by the ambient temperature. The hot air discharged into the room needs to be discharged in time, otherwise the cooling effect of the ice machine will be affected as the ambient temperature rises. If the indoor temperature is too high to be discharged,the machine will overheat and the human body will feel uncomfortable.
Maintenance
- The air-cooled condenser is easy to accumulate dust, and it is generally necessary to clean the dust on the condenser every 2-3 months.
Advantages of water-cooled ice makers
- In summer, the ice production is slightly larger than that of air-cooled ice makers of the same specifications. It is not affected by the room temperature and does not emit heat into the room.
Disadvantages of water-cooled ice makers
- It uses more water than air-cooled ones. The Snowman ice maker uses an imported water-saving valve, which uses intelligent pressure control to adjust the water output according to the temperature and pressure changes of the machine to achieve the effect of saving water.
Maintenance
- If the tap water pressure is normal, the maintenance cycle of the water-cooled radiator can be up to 2-3 years.
After understanding the heat dissipation principles of air cooling and water cooling, you can choose a more suitable ice maker according to your situation.
