How A Ice Machine Turns Water into Ice:


The refrigeration cycle removes heat, causing things to cool. In a commercial ice machine, the cycle removes heat from water and turns it into ice.

Here's how it works:


Compressor: (The compressor is the heart of the system. It causes the freon to move through the sealed system by pumping.) The first step is the compressor. It compresses a hot gas called freon, which increases its temperature and pressure.


Condenser: The high-pressure refrigerant then moves to the condenser, a series of coils cooled by a fan or water. As the refrigerant flows through the coils, it loses heat and returns to a liquid state.


Expansion valve: The liquid refrigerant then passes through an expansion valve, causing a change in pressure and converting the freon into a low-pressure liquid-gas mixture. The freon is now at the saturation point. It becomes vapor as it absorbs heat from the water flowing over the evaporator coil. (Water boiling on a stove is a saturation point. When it absorbs heat, it turns into steam.)


Evaporator: As the low temperature, refrigerant flows into the evaporator. The refrigerant passing through the evaporator absorbs heat from the water, causing it to slowly turn into ice.


Harvest cycle:  Once the ice has formed, a harvest cycle begins. The condenser fan turns off, preventing the Freon from releasing the heat it has stored as it passes through the condenser coil. As the freon flows through the evaporator, it heats the coil, causing the ice to melt slightly. The ice then falls off the tubes and into the ice bin.


So, that's how the refrigeration cycle works in a commercial ice machine.
