Ice machines are incredibly cool and still work in quite a neat way. One fundamental component of an ice machine is the compressor. The compressor assists in the production of many ice (whether we are enjoying it or not!).
The ice machine compressor: an integral part of making ice. It makes the inside of the ice machine really, really cold. When the compressor kicks on, it draws in air and compresses it, cooling it down to way below freezing temperatures. This cold air is used to freeze the water inside the ice machine, causing it to become ice. Soooo without the compressor, we would have no ice for our drinks or coolers!
The compressor is a kind of magic box that really makes cold air. It has a special motor inside that causes it to zip! This motor contributes to pinching the air. When you squish air together, it becomes very cold. This cold air is used to freeze the water that flows through the ice machine and creates all of the ice cubes that make us so happy. You’ve got your very own ice maker buddy chilling away inside your ice machine, tirelessly working to ensure we’ve always got ice when we need it!
Compressors A variety of compressors are used in ice machines. Some ice machines have a reciprocating compressor that goes back and forth to compress the air. Other ice machines might use a rotary compressor, which turns in a circle to accomplish the same thing. Every single compressor has its special gimmick, but they all want us to have plenty of ice to keep us cool.
The compressor, like other parts of an ice machine, also needs maintenance to work efficiently. One important way to maintain a compressor is to keep it clear of dust or dirt that could clog it. Should the compressor become shunted, it may not perform as well, and we will have insufficient ice. Occasionally, a grown-up who knows how to fix it may have to assist. By maintaining your compressor, we can ensure our ice machine continues producing lots of tasty ice for us!
