Ice Making Business In South Africa Key Players, Size, Trends, Opportunities and growth Analysis

An ice maker, also known as ice machine or ice generator, is a device that produces ice. Condenser, evaporator, throttle valve, and compressor are the basic components of an ice maker. The function of the compressor is to cold compress low-pressure vapor to high-pressure refrigerant vapor, and transport it to the condenser. The high-pressure vapor is then condensed in the condenser, into high-pressure liquid. After condensation, the high-pressure liquid is drained out through the throttle valve in the form of low-pressure liquid. The liquid is then directed toward the evaporator. Heat exchanging occurs at the evaporator, thereby creating ice.
