55-Ton Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine

55-Ton Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine Description

A 55-ton direct cooling block ice machine is an industrial ice-making system designed to produce 55 tons of block ice per day (24 hours) using a direct cooling (direct expansion) refrigeration system. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and specifications:

Key Features of a 55-Ton Direct Cooling Block Ice Machine

1. Production Capacity

   • 55 tons (55,000 kg) of block ice per day (assuming standard 12.5 kg, 25 kg, or 50 kg blocks).

   • Block sizes can be customized (common sizes: 5kg, 12.5kg, 25kg, 50kg).

2. Refrigeration System

   • Direct Cooling (DX) System: The evaporator cools the ice molds directly without a secondary coolant (unlike brine systems).

   • Energy-efficient compared to brine systems since there’s no need for a secondary refrigerant.

   • Uses environmentally friendly refrigerants (e.g., R404A, R507, NH3, or CO₂).

3. Ice Making Process

   • Freezing Time: ~10–24 hours (depending on block size and water temperature).

   • Automatic ice harvesting: Uses warm refrigerant gas or water to release ice blocks.

   • Continuous operation: Multiple ice molds allow for staggered freezing and harvesting.

4. Components

   • Compressor: Semi-hermetic or screw compressor (depends on cooling demand).

   • Condenser: Air-cooled, water-cooled, or evaporative type.

   • Ice Molds: Stainless steel or galvanized steel for durability.

   • Control System: PLC or microprocessor-based for automation.

5. Power Requirements

   • High power consumption (typically ~80–120 kW depending on efficiency).

   • Voltage: 380V/50Hz (3-phase) or customized for different regions.

6. Water Consumption

   • Requires clean water (filtered or treated to prevent scaling).

   • Water consumption: ~1.1–1.2 times the ice weight (due to freezing expansion).

7. Applications

   • Fishing vessels & seafood processing (long-lasting ice for preservation).

   • Chemical & pharmaceutical industries (cooling applications).

   • Concrete cooling (construction industry).

   • Food processing & cold storage.

Advantages of Direct Cooling Block Ice Machines

✔ Higher energy efficiency (no brine circulation pump needed).
✔ Faster ice production compared to brine systems.
✔ Lower maintenance (no brine corrosion issues).
✔ Compact design (saves space).
