What are the reasons why ice machines do not produce ice?
2023-12-25
Ice maker not out of ice, the first thing to do is to check the specific situation, according to the situation to find the cause of the failure, and then troubleshooting.
The first situation: the compressor works normally, but only water, not ice. This situation may be insufficient refrigerant. In general, the ice machine has been commissioned in the factory, no need to add refrigerant. But in the process of operation if the liquid supply pipe liquid-viewing mirror in the formation of bubbles, indicating that the refrigeration system has a leak, you need to check with soapy water. When the leak is handled well, ask a professional to replenish the specified Freon until there are no air bubbles forming in the liquid supply line during the entire ice making process.
Several commonly used refrigerants
The second situation: there is an abnormal sound when the compressor starts, resulting in running water all the time without making ice. Possible reasons are that the compressor is not electrically heated before starting, or the evaporator of the refrigeration system is not evaporated sufficiently, and there is liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, resulting in liquid shock. Treatment methods are: 6 hours before starting the machine to make it electrically heated, so that the refrigerant is completely evaporated; close the liquid discharge valve of the liquid storage device or condenser, and wait until the refrigerant in the evaporator is completely evaporated, and then slowly open the liquid supply valve of the condenser or liquid storage valve.
There are many other reasons that lead to ice machine running water out of ice, the ambient temperature is too high or too low, the refrigeration machine pressure is too high or too low, whether the compressor is powered, whether the refrigeration machine pipeline is gas or debris, whether the pipeline is deformed, whether the amount of water in the water pan does not work or no water. ...... For example, to reduce the temperature of the water inlet of the ice machine and the refrigeration equipment placed in the ambient temperature will Greatly improve the refrigeration efficiency: 5 degrees of water inlet temperature and 25 degrees of water inlet temperature comparison, ice-making a cycle will be shortened by about 2-5 minutes. If you want the ice machine to work efficiently and stably, we must make sure that the quality of the ice machine, the ambient temperature, the placement site and other aspects meet the requirements.
