The water pump is the core component of an ice maker, often referred to as the “heart” of the water circulation system, and plays a crucial role in both small household and commercial ice makers.
Working Process:
1. The ice maker’s water pump contains a drive motor. The motor’s output shaft rotates the impeller, drawing water from the storage tank.
2. After pressurization, the water is continuously and evenly sprayed onto the evaporator surface (or the ice-making tray) through nozzles.
3. Over time, the water in the ice-making tray freezes into ice cubes. Excess water flows into the water tank.
4. Unfrozen water flows into the water reservoir, where it is pumped out and recycled until completely frozen, significantly conserving water.
Main Structure:
1. Motor
Commonly used motors are AC motors with a relatively long output shaft to drive the internal structure. Taking our designed water pump motor as an example:
BL7020: This motor was custom-designed for an ice machine factory. It uses DC power, operates at 2800 rpm, and has noise levels controlled below 40 dB, offering significant improvements in practicality and durability.
2. Pipe Body
The pipe body operates in a high-humidity environment and must have good corrosion resistance. It is directly connected to the ice maker and pumps water to the cooling area via the motor.
In summary: An ice machine water pump uses a motor to drive an internal structure that forces water into the cooling zone, thus producing ice. Its basic components are a motor and a tubular part.
Please note that the water pump needs to operate for extended periods, so the quality of the motor is crucial. If you have any thoughts or suggestions regarding ice maker water pumps, please contact us; we will provide samples for your reference.
