⚙️ 1. Startup Phase
Water Supply and Initialization: Before turning on the unit, check the automatic water supply device and water tank level (the factory-set water level typically does not require adjustment). After powering on, the water pump starts first to expel air from the water circuit (approximately 2 minutes), followed by a delayed start of the compressor (approximately 30 seconds) to avoid sudden current surges.
Pre-cooling the evaporator: After the compressor starts running, the refrigerant absorbs heat in the evaporator, causing its surface temperature to drop sharply below freezing point (approximately -10°C to -18°C), preparing a low-temperature environment for ice making.
❄️ 2. Ice-making stage
Water circulation and freezing: The water pump draws water from the water tank to the distribution device, evenly spraying it onto the surface of the low-temperature evaporator. The water forms a thin layer on the evaporator and gradually freezes, with unfrozen water recirculating back to the water tank for reuse.
Ice Layer Thickness Control:
Time Control: A single ice-making cycle typically does not exceed 45 minutes; if the target thickness is not reached, the system forces entry into the de-icing phase.
Sensor Control: Ice thickness probes continuously monitor the ice layer thickness, triggering the de-icing program when the pre-set value (e.g., user-defined 5mm or above) is reached.
Minimum Ice-Making Time: To prevent frequent defrosting, the system sets a minimum ice-making lockout time (typically ≥5 minutes).
