How The Electronic Cuber Works
This section is intended for the technician. It is not necessary for the normal operation and maintenance
of the machine.
Refrigeration System:
Freeze Cycle: Heat is removed from the water and
discharged out the condenser during the freeze
cycle. As liquid refrigerant passes thru the
Thermostatic Expansion Valve, it enters the top of
the evaporators, and ice will form at the top first.
When cubes need to be released (Harvest) the Hot
Gas Valve is opened and Hot discharge gas flows
directly from the compressor to the evaporator
inlets.
This warms up the evaporators and the surface of
the ice frozen to the evaporator surface melts. Ice
then falls into the bin.
