The temperature of the tube ice produced by the tube ice machine is usually not higher than -1 ℃. This temperature range is a typical performance of a tube ice machine when it freezes water into solid tube ice through a refrigeration cycle under standard operating conditions (ambient temperature of 33 ℃, supply water temperature of 20 ℃).
The cooling effect of a tube ice machine depends on its core evaporative cooling cycle:
Evaporation process: The refrigerant changes from liquid to gas at low temperature and pressure, absorbing heat from the surrounding air to lower the temperature of the evaporator.
Compression process: The compressor compresses low-temperature and low-pressure gas refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas, increasing the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant.
Condensation process: High temperature and high pressure gases dissipate heat through the condenser and become liquid refrigerants with high temperature and high pressure.
Expansion process: The liquid refrigerant is depressurized through a throttle valve or expansion valve, returning to a low-temperature and low-pressure state, and preparing to enter the next evaporation process.
Under standard operating conditions, the tube ice machine freezes water into solid tube ice through this cycle, and the temperature of the ice is usually not higher than -1 ℃. This temperature range ensures the quality and stability of ice, and is suitable for multiple fields such as food processing, chemical engineering, and medicine. For example, in the food processing industry, tube ice machines can provide a large amount of high-quality ice cubes to ensure the freshness of food during processing, storage, and transportation; In the field of medicine, high-quality ice cubes produced by tube ice machines can effectively maintain a low-temperature environment, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products.
