Engineered specifically for commercial food service refrigeration equipment, our Ice Maker Tube in Tube Heat Exchanger delivers high thermal efficiency in a compact footprint. Designed to perform as a reliable water-cooled condenser, it effectively discharges heat during the freezing cycle to maximize ice production yield and optimize energy consumption.
Key Advantages & Performance Features
- Premium 316L Stainless Steel Shell: Engineered with a robust 316L stainless steel outer casing and high-purity copper inner tubing for outstanding corrosion resistance in harsh water environments.
- Anti-Fouling & Anti-Freezing Design: Smooth interior fluid channels minimize scale accumulation, chemical fouling, and structural strain caused by continuous thermal shock during ice-making cycles.
- Compact Footprint for OEM Assembly: Delivers high heat-transfer density within a space-saving spiral geometry, making it easy to integrate into tight ice machine chassis.
- High-Pressure Capability: Compatible with common commercial refrigerants including R410A, R404A, R134a, R32, and eco-friendly R290.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why use a 316L stainless steel shell for ice maker heat exchangers?
A: Commercial ice machines often deal with varying tap water quality. A 316L stainless steel outer shell provides superior corrosion resistance against chloride content, hard water deposits, and water treatment chemicals compared to standard materials, ensuring long-term operational stability.
Q2: Can Ningbo FXT customize coil dimensions for existing ice machine chassis?
A: Yes. We specialize in OEM/ODM manufacturing. We can adjust the coil outer diameter, overall height, tube inlet/outlet directions, and mounting brackets based on your CAD drawings or physical sample specifications.
Q3: What refrigerants are compatible with this Tube in Tube condenser?
A: Our Tube in Tube heat exchangers are engineered for high-pressure durability and are compatible with R404A, R410A, R134a, R32, as well as natural eco-friendly refrigerants like R290 (propane).
Q4: What is the sample production lead time for custom orders?
A: Standard sample modifications typically take 7 to 15 days, while specialized designs requiring custom tooling or specific surface finishes may take up to 20-30 days. Contact our sales engineers to confirm timelines for your specific project.
