Compared with simple evaporative refrigeration, this device has more diversified cooling methods, which can be flexibly complementary under different working conditions. At the same time, the setting of ice cubes and antifreeze can quickly reach the cooling concentration requirement temperature in the early stage and improve the cooling efficiency.
