Follett’s modular flake icemakers offer the right ice for a broad range of healthcare and foodservice applications as well as exceptional reliability for long equipment life
Difference between AIR COOLED & WATER COOLED
The refrigeration system in ice machines have to be cooled during operations because of the heat that is generated during the mechanical process. These are the two types: Air Cooled or Water Cooled
*Air cooled:
1 Good-Uses less water- It is cooled by a fan
2 Good-Better for environment
3 Bad-Has a tendency to heat the room where it is located more than water cooled
4 Bad-Little noisier than water cooled
5 Good-Most popular
*Water cooled:
1 Good-Quieter than air cooled
2 Good-More energy efficient
3 Good-Does not raise room temperature
4 Bad-Cost for water cooled is in some cases higher
5 Bad-A lot more water is used which some consider to be a waste
6 Bad-Water bill is higher
7 Bad-Water filtration systems have to be changed more frequently because of water usage
These are the good and the bad for both. It's simply the way in which the systems are cooled
Follett’s modular flake icemakers offer the right ice for a broad range of healthcare and foodservice applications as well as exceptional reliability for long equipment life. Both air- and water-cooled models use environmentally-friendly R404A refrigerant and produce approximately 400 lbs/day (181kg) of soft, moldable flake ice.
