Description

Be used to produce the system of transparency ice
Technical field
The disclosure relates generally to a kind of method and system that are used to produce transparency ice; It is realized in the following manner: the electrical conductivity of water in the monitoring ice machine (for example; TDS (TDS)); And when electrical conductivity has surpassed predeterminated level, add extra water, reduce the TDS level of water thus and make it possible to form transparency ice.Especially, the disclosure through monitoring or detect electrical conductivity of water, to guarantee that through adding fresh water keeping below predeterminated level in the TDS level of freezing cycle period water makes it possible to form transparent or more transparent ice from water system.
Background technology
Known in ice making industry, too high TDS concentration can hinder the formation of ice cube and possibly produce the muddy ice cube of not expecting that seems in the water.In addition, one of reason of the equipment failure of ice making and steaming plant is commonly referred to as the water-soluble minerals of TDS, and it measures with PPM (ppm).The excessive concentrations of TDS can be disturbed the machine operation in the solution, and when water changes phase, forms the incrusted deposit of not expecting.The difficulty that fouling in the ice machine also possibly cause gathering in the crops ice cube increases, because they often are attached to evaporator plate, and possibly finally damage evaporator plate.
In addition, along with TDS accumulation gradually in ice machine, the pH value of water also raises, and this has reduced mineral matter and has stayed the ability in the solution.Therefore, if develop as one pleases, can progressively accelerate the formation of incrustation scale.
Traditional ice machine is through form the results stage wash tub pipe of circulation and the problem that other parts solve the TDS accumulation at ice cube termly.In addition, also partially or even wholly empty storage warehouse this moment, it keeps the supply of recirculation with the chilled water of formation ice cube.
For the trial of being carried out of TDS in the water system that reduces ice machine, decatize thing and other water changeable device and incrustation scale comprise use more efficiently filter and increase that phosphate adds or acidic materials to stop the accumulation of mineral matter.Although aspect main minimizing suspended particles, filtration is effectively, the ion particle in the aqueous solution does not significantly reduce.Find also, compare that interpolation phosphate or acid can further prolong maintenance intervals in the water after filtration with independent filtration.Chemical addition agent helps to keep for more time the ion particle in the solution.Yet the user of this equipment still has no alternative but to comply and topples over excessive chilled water in their equipment.
Another shortcoming of traditional ice making equipment is that the speed of scale build-up changes according to the degree of the TDS concentration in the dissimilar water sources, water treatment and the variation of geographic area.
The problem of the water in periodic flushing water pipe and the water tank is, the extra money of cost aspect sewage disposal and new filtered water.United States Patent(USP) No. 5,527 has solved this problem among 470 (Suda), and it proposes the method that ice machine was monitored and controlled to a kind of TDS concentration through recirculation water in the monitoring machine.If confirmed that TDS has surpassed predeterminated level, then after accomplishing the results circulation, this system will discharge all water or a part of water and introduce new water from water tank.With early stage to attempt such all waters of discharging anti-like some of the TDS of control in the ice making water, Suda attempt only discharging a part of water then only interpolation guarantee that the water in the water tank is lower than the predetermined required fresh water of TDS level.Unfortunately, this remains waste, causes producing muddy ice and unsatisfactory aspect ecological.Just, the ice machine of Suda is in case start, and then freeze cycle is utilized any water ice making of the present existence in the storage tank, and no matter its TDS level how during the freeze cycle.Yet when ice began to form, the inventor had been found that the TDS level increase in the water tank and possibly exceed predetermined TDS level, and therefore causes forming muddy ice.
Different with above-mentioned two kinds prior aries of attempting to reduce the TDS level, the inventor has developed a kind of method and system that are used to form transparency ice of uniqueness, and it needn't be to keep the discharge water of TDS level.On the contrary; Level of conductivity during the disclosure monitoring freeze cycle (for example; The TDS level); And when the TDS level surpasses predeterminated level, thereby the pump valve energising is incorporated in the ice machine fresh water guaranteeing that the TDS level keeps below predeterminated level during the major part of freeze cycle during freeze cycle, thereby produces the transparent ice or the ice of substantially transparent.This has reduced the used water yield and/results cycle period generation consistent transparent ice freezing at every turn, and this is impossible when using the disclosed monitoring of prior art and the system of discharge.
