Fluidized ice is made up of millions of ice "microcrystals". Compared to other types of ice, ice particles are smaller in size and have a larger heat transfer area, so they cool faster. It is commonly used in a variety of industries, such as the cooling and storage of fish, agricultural products, poultry, and other perishable products.
The principle of the fluid ice machine is mainly through a specific refrigeration system and process, the liquid water is quickly cooled and converted into tiny ice crystals, and mixed with a small amount of aqueous solution to form a unique form of fluid ice. Here are the detailed steps of how the fluid ice machine works:
Refrigerant circulation: The compressor in the refrigeration system sucks in the refrigerant gas at low temperature and low pressure, and turns it into gas at high temperature and high pressure through compression.
Condenser cooling: The refrigerant gas at high temperature and high pressure enters the condenser, and through contact with the external cooling medium (such as water or air), the condensation process occurs, dissipating heat to the cooling medium, so that the refrigerant is cooled into a high-pressure liquid.
Expansion valve throttling: The high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator through the expansion valve, and under the throttling action of the expansion valve, the pressure of the liquid refrigerant drops sharply, and the temperature also decreases.
Evaporative refrigeration: In an evaporator, the refrigerant liquid absorbs heat from an external heat source, such as water, and the evaporation process takes place, which lowers the temperature around the evaporator. At the same time, water is mixed with the refrigerant by mechanical agitation or other means to form a fluid ice suspension.
Suspension circulation: The fluid ice suspension is cooled by the evaporator and then pumped back to the chiller for recirculation, resulting in a continuous refrigeration effect.
In this way, the fluid ice machine can quickly convert liquid water into liquid ice, which has good fluidity and cooling effect, especially suitable for scenarios that require rapid cooling and preservation, such as food refrigeration, fishery preservation, etc. At the same time, the ice crystals of fluidized ice are tiny and do not cause damage to the surface of the cooled material.
Features of Fluid Ice Machine:
Cooling is fast. Liquid ice is a mixture of 25% flake ice and 75% water, a combination that provides superior cooling for valuable and perishable cargo, allowing it to cool down faster.
Wrapping. Liquid ice has excellent product coverage and flows like water, allowing easy access to tight spaces and crevices. This feature ensures that all exposed areas of the product are cooled evenly and efficiently, and the heat dissipates quickly, resulting in a faster cooling rate.
Low salinity. The liquid ice machine we produce is designed with low salinity, and the salinity of seawater liquid ice is only 25%。This innovation further simplifies operations by eliminating the need for brine replenishment tanks for traditional liquid ice systems.
Food-grade material. When it comes to food safety, our liquid ice machines are equipped with the same high-quality stainless steel components as flake ice machines, ensuring that you can easily meet all food safety standards.
Energy saving and environmental protection. Compared with traditional freezing technology, the energy consumption of the fluid ice machine is lower, which reduces the consumption of energy, reduces carbon emissions, and meets the requirements of sustainable development.
With the continuous expansion of the application of fluid ice machine in the field of cold chain logistics, it will bring new vitality and development opportunities to the cold chain logistics industry. Its high efficiency and energy saving characteristics will further improve the efficiency and quality of cold chain logistics, and provide reliable technical support for ensuring food safety and quality. It is foreseeable that the fluid ice machine will become the mainstream technology of the cold chain logistics industry in the future, and promote the sustainable development and progress of the industry.
