serenityjun Guestdifference between a normal air conditioner and ice cream maker refrigeration
Hi all. This is my new post here. I would like to ask what is the difference in terms of components used in the normal air conditioner in room and an ice cream maker? Why can't a normal split unit be used to cool to subzero degrees? Is it the difference of the refrigerant used? Or the working method is totally different?

Re: difference between a normal air conditioner and ice cream maker refrigeration
Hi Serenityjun,
They are two completely different machines, designed to cool different things, one air and the other a liquid.
Though many of the components in each system will have the same name, compressor, condenser, evaporator etc their design and operation will be different in each case.
Its a bit like why you shouldn't wash your clothers in a dish washer...

Re: difference between a normal air conditioner and ice cream maker refrigeration
i have read somewhere that freezer have a heater element. Is it possible to modify an existing split unit air conditioner so that it works as an ice cream maker? if it is not possible to do it in practical, at least tell me in theory. Many thanks.

Re: difference between a normal air conditioner and ice cream maker refrigeration
I am always one try try something new!, I poured Ice cream mix into my air conditioner, "amazingly" my wife went up the wall, as the ice cream mix came down the wall.
Technical reason for not working,
"Tension"

Hi Serenityjun.
The 2 system are similar in the same way a car is similar to a lorry.
The components in the two machines do similar things but they are not easily converted one to another.
