An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that uses a refrigeration system to cool water through an evaporator to produce ice. It employs a refrigeration system with water as the carrier, and produces ice by passing the water through a device when powered on. Depending on the evaporator's principle and production method, the shape of the ice produced varies; ice makers are generally classified by ice shape, such as granular ice makers, flake ice makers, plate ice makers, tube ice makers, and shell ice makers.
Through a water supply valve, water automatically enters a storage tank. Then, a flow control valve pumps the water to a distributor head, where it is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the ice maker, flowing like a water curtain over the walls. The water is cooled to its freezing point, while the unfrozen water flows back into the storage tank through a perforated channel, restarting the cycle.
