What are the common fault symptoms caused by ice blockage in the refrigeration system?

1. Once "ice blockage" occurs, the refrigerant circulation volume of the entire system and the refrigerant flow entering the evaporator decrease. The rear part of the evaporator overheats and melts the frost layer, causing the compressor suction pressure to drop, which ultimately leads to compressor failure. 2. After "ice blockage" occurs, the cooling capacity of the compressor decreases. If the compressor operates for an extended period with insufficient refrigerant and excessively low evaporation pressure, the compressor's suction temperature rises, causing the cylinder head to overheat and reducing the compressor's service life. 3. After "ice blockage" occurs, the blockage pressure in the refrigerant circulation system increases. The mixture of moisture and coolant leads to increased corrosiveness, which causes impurities from corrosion to mix into the refrigerant and lubricating oil, rapidly deteriorating the oil. This can block pressure gauges and relay pressure transmission tubes, obstruct the oil pressure valve unloading mechanism pipelines, damage the oil distributor, and even cause gear breakage in the gear oil pump, among other severe consequences. 4. If "ice blockage" is severe or not promptly resolved, the storage temperature may fail to meet the required refrigeration or freezing standards.
