Water Cooled Ice Machines

Air cooled ice machines are environmentally friendly and are qualified for ENERGY STAR. The heat from an air cooled ice machine increases air temperature at your kitchen and makes your air conditioning work harder. There is a solution to the heat accumulation problem, if you get a remote condenser ice making equipment the source of excess heat will be moved outside of the building and you will save even more money on air conditioning bills. Even with the higher air conditioning bills, air cooled ice machine is more cost efficient than water cooled ice ones. Water cooled ice machines consume over 100 gallons of water per 100 lbs of ice. Usually water cooled ice making equipment use about 2-5 kWh less energy per 100 lbs of ice. Keep in mind that the extra water use increases your sewer bill as.

Water cooled ice makers waste a lot of water, but they do use less energy. I recommend to use water cooled ice machines where water and sewer utilities are cheap or if you leave in hot areas where air cooled ice making equipment will not be able to cool the ice machine effectively. But keep in mind that in hot areas waterways exposed to the sun may also get hot.
