Kilterra supplies complete refrigeration component solutions for the ice machine industry: dedicated condensers, evaporators, filter driers and accumulators. As a core supplier to the world's leading ice machine makers, Kilterra understands the frequent start-stop cycles and high-humidity conditions of ice makers - reliability proven in mass production.
What Changes with New Refrigerants
Ice makers run in short cycles with frequent start-stop. The condenser must reject heat fast, the filter drier must keep drying under constant moisture-ingress risk, and the evaporator must freeze and release ice quickly. All components work together to keep every ice-making cycle stable and efficient.
Selection Adjustments
- Choose condenser heat rejection by daily ice production
- Choose a larger filter drier for high-humidity environments
- Choose evaporator by ice type (cube/flake/nugget)
- Space is tight in ice makers - check dimensions carefully
Important Notes
- How often to replace the ice maker filter? - Every 6-12 months; more often with poor water quality.
- Is slow ice always a condenser problem? - Check filter and refrigerant charge first.
- Why do ice makers ice up so easily? - High humidity pushes moisture into the system.
- Uneven evaporator ice? - Check refrigerant distribution and heat surface cleanliness.
For 37 years Kilterra has focused on one thing: build refrigeration components right, deliver them on time. Ice Machine Components supports OEM/ODM customization - factory visits, sample testing and volume partnerships are welcome.
