Difference between AIR COOLED & WATER COOLEDThe refrigeration system in ice machines have to be cooled during operations because of the heat that is generated during the mechanical process. These are the two types: Air Cooled or Water CooledAir cooled:Good-Uses less water- It is cooled by a fan Good-Better for environmentBad-Has a tendency to heat the room where it is located more than water cooledBad-Little noisier than water cooledGood-Most popularWater cooled:Good-Quieter than air cooledGood-More energy efficientGood-Does not raise room temperatureBad-Cost for water cooled is in some cases higherBad-A lot more water is used which some consider to be a wasteBad-Water bill is higherBad-Water filtration systems have to be changed more frequently because of water usageThese are the good and the bad for both. It's simply the way in which the systems are cooled
