The diagram of brine system block ice machine working principle:
As shown, when compressor unit (11) starts to run, refrigerant enters into coil evaporator (08) and begins evaporating.
Brine water in brine tank (09) is circulated by agitator (05). then flow through coil evaporator (08).
After water temperature decreases, it contacts with the outer surface of ice cans (06) and absorbs the heat of water in ice cans.
Thus, all the water in the ice cans will be freeze until freezing point.
The water after exchanged heat will be delivered by agitator to coil evaporator to be cooled down again, which forms a brine water circulation.
The crane (07) will move on guiding rail (10) and hoist a row of ice cans (06) down into the ice thaw tank (04). Normal temperature water in thaw tank will melt the outside surface of ice can, so the ice surface thaws and gets separate from ice cans.
In certain time, all the water in the ice cans will turn into block ice.
The compressor unit (11) can control brine tank temperature by electronic control box (12). When the temperature increases, the compressor unit starts to work; when it reaches to the set temperature, the compressor unit stops to work.
