1. Core Engineering Architecture
1) Integrated Compact System Design
The system adopts a highly integrated layout combining:
Refrigeration compressor unit
Direct cooling ice mold system
Water circulation & dosing system
Central PLC control platform
This architecture significantly reduces footprint while improving process coordination, making it suitable for both new factories and retrofit projects.
2) Direct Cooling Heat Exchange Technology
Unlike brine-based systems, the refrigerant directly exchanges heat with the ice mold, enabling:
Faster freezing cycles
Higher thermal efficiency
Reduced secondary heat transfer losses
Combined with optimized heat exchange channel design, the system achieves more uniform ice formation and improved structural density of ice blocks.
3) Intelligent Energy Management System
The system integrates variable frequency control and dynamic load adjustment, enabling:
Real-time compressor output regulation based on production demand
Optimized operation during peak/off-peak electricity periods
Stable energy consumption control at approximately 2.1 kWh/kg (depending on conditions)
This significantly reduces long-term operating expenditure in continuous production scenarios.
4) Fully Automated Production Workflow
From water intake to finished ice storage, the entire process is automated:
Automatic water injection & metering
Controlled freezing cycle management
Hydraulic defrosting and ice release
Automatic stacking & cold storage integration
This reduces manual labor dependency and ensures consistent production stability with minimal human intervention.
5) Durability-Oriented Mechanical Design
To ensure long-term industrial operation, the system includes:
Corrosion-resistant evaporator structure
Hydraulic defrosting system (reduces mechanical wear vs scraping systems)
Reinforced mold design for long-cycle stability
Modular components for simplified maintenance and replacement
This improves equipment lifecycle reliability in high-load environments.
