[0008] The water tank type evaporator is composed of a shell, a heat exchange module and a filter unit;

[0009] The heat exchange module includes a heat sink, a liquid supply main pipe, a liquid collecting main pipe, a circulating liquid delivery main pipe and a circulating liquid return main pipe.

The chiller body 1 realizes the heat exchange function through the water tank evaporator 2. The circulating liquid flows from the chiller to the water tank evaporator 2. The cooling water flows into the serpentine elbow 2214 in the cavity of the heat sink 221 through the partition tube 2211. The coolant is injected from the liquid inlet in the middle of the top of the partition tube 2211. The heat of the cooling water is taken away and returned to the chiller body 11.

[0039] Specific implementation process:

[0040] After the ice machine is turned on, the coolant pump starts to work. The coolant first enters the liquid inlet of the partition tube 2211 at the top of the heat sink 221 from the liquid outlet of the liquid supply main pipe 222, and then enters the accommodating groove in the heat sink 221 through the through hole in the middle of the partition tube 2211. In this process, the coolant is in full contact with the serpentine elbow 2214. Multiple temperature control sensors evenly arranged in the groove of the rear plate 2213 can obtain accurate circulating liquid temperature by measuring the coolant, and then flow into the shell through the liquid outlet at the top of the rear plate 2213 of the heat sink 221. At this time, the spray devices 25 at both ends of the inner side of the shell also start to operate to spray the coolant onto the heat sink On 221, the air cooling device 24 blows air from top to bottom continuously. At this time, the circulating pump pumps the circulating liquid to the evaporative water tank, and is input to the left end of the partition tube 2211 through the circulating liquid supply main pipe 224 arranged in parallel at the top left side of multiple heat sinks 221, and then enters the serpentine elbow 2214 through the through hole in the left end partition groove, and finally leaves the serpentine elbow 2214 from the through hole in the right end partition groove, and is re-input into the circulating liquid return main pipe 225. The cooling liquid that is constantly accumulated in the shell is pumped out of the chiller through the liquid collecting main pipe 223 arranged at the bottom of the shell, and after the temperature is reduced outside the chiller body 1, it is input into the liquid supply main pipe 222 again.
