AI Technical Summary
Existing ice storage tanks expand in volume when they freeze, causing structural deformation and potential breakage, leading to water loss and affecting their service life.
The ice storage tank is designed with an inverted conical structure and is equipped with a heat exchange device that can move up and down, as well as a combination of smooth rods, sleeves, and connecting rods. Buoyancy and limiting structures are used to prevent deformation, and flexible hoses keep the pipeline connected.
It effectively prevents the ice storage tank from cracking due to deformation caused by freezing, maintains structural stability, extends service life, and ensures normal water flow.
