Ice Machine Heat of Rejection

Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject

heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the

amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing

air conditioning equipment where self-contained air-

cooled ice machines are installed.

This information is also necessary when evaluating the

benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to

reduce air conditioning loads. The amount of heat added

to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine

using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.

Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important

when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled

condenser.

Removing Drain Plug and Leveling the Ice

Storage Bin

1. Remove threaded plug from drain fitting.

2. Screw the leveling legs onto the bottom of the bin.

3. Screw the foot of each leg in as far as possible.

4. Move the bin into its final position.

5. Level the bin to assure that the bin door closes and

seals properly. Use a level on top of the bin. Turn the

base of each foot as necessary to level the bin.

6. Inspect bin gasket prior to ice machine installation.

(Manitowoc bins come with a closed cell foam

gasket installed along the top surface of the bin.)

7. Remove all panels from ice machine before lifting.

and installing on bin. Remove both front panels, top

cover, left and right side panels.

Electrical Service

VOLTAGE

The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the

rated voltage at ice machine start-up (when the electrical

load is highest).

All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding,

must conform to local, state and national electrical

codes. The following precautions must be observed:

• The ice machine must be grounded.

• A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for

each ice machine.

• A qualified electrician must determine proper wire

size dependent upon location, materials used and

length of run (minimum circuit ampacity can be used

to help select the wire size).

• The maximum allowable voltage variation is +/-10 of

the rated voltage at ice machine start-up (when the

electrical load is highest).

• Check all ground screws in the control box and verify

they are tight before starting the ice machine.

FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER

A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for

each ice machine.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

We do not recommend the use of a GFCI/GFI circuit

protection with our equipment. If a GFCI/GFI is required

by code, use a GFCI/GFI breaker rather than outlet

which is more prone to intermittent nuisance trips than

panel circuit breakers.

Water Supply and Drain Requirements

WATER INLET LINES

Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:

• If you are installing a Manitowoc Arctic Pure water

filter system, refer to the Installation Instructions

supplied with the filter system for ice making water

inlet connections.

• Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water

supply. Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for

other equipment are working. (Check valves on sink

faucets, dishwashers, etc.)

• If water pressure exceeds the maximum

recommended pressure of 70 psig (483 kPa), obtain

a water pressure regulator from your Manitowoc

distributor.

• Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making

and condenser water lines.

• Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to

prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice

machine and storage bin:

• Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of

run (2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.

• The floor drain must be large enough to

accommodate drainage from all drains.

• Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines.

Insulate them to prevent condensation.

WATER-COOLED CONDENSER WATER PRESSURE

Water pressure at the condenser cannot exceed

150 psig (1034 kPA) with the standard water-regulating

valve. Contact your distributor if your water pressure is

greater than 150 psig (1034 kPA).

COOLING TOWER APPLICATIONS

(WATER-COOLED MODELS)

A water cooling tower installation does not require

modification of the ice machine. The water regulator

valve for the condenser continues to control the

refrigeration discharge pressure.

It is necessary to know the amount of heat rejection, and

the pressure drop through the condenser and water

valves (inlet and outlet) when using a cooling tower on

an ice machine.

• Water entering the condenser must not exceed

90°F (32.2°C).

• Water flow through the condenser must not exceed

1.25 gallons (4.73 liters) per minute.

• Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psi (0.5 bar) between

the condenser water inlet and the outlet of the ice

machine.

• Water exiting the condenser must not exceed

110°F (43.3°C).

Caution

Do not apply heat to water valve inlet fitting. This will

damage plastic water inlet connection.

Important

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that

all water-cooled models must be connected only to a

closed loop, cooling tower system.

C. SUCTION LINE OIL TRAPS

0 to 20 feet (0 to 6.1 m) Rise: No oil trap is required

when the condensing unit is located 20 feet (6.1 m) or

less above the ice machine head section.

21 to 35 feet (6.4 to 10.7 m) Rise: The suction line

requires an additional Oil Trap (“S” type) to be installed.

Install the trap as close as possible to midpoint between

the ice machine head section and remote condensing

unit. S-Trap Kits are available from Manitowoc.

Service Loop

A service loop in the line set permits easy access to the

ice machine for cleaning and service.

• A service loop is not considered an oil trap.

• The service loop is not included when calculating

length, rise or drop of the tubing run.

• Do not use hard rigid copper for the service loop.

Step 3 Lengthening or Reducing Line Set Lengths

When the line set requires shortening or lengthening, do

so before connecting the line set to the ice machine

head section or the remote condensing unit.

Caution

Do not form unwanted traps in refrigeration lines.

Never coil excess refrigeration tubing.

Step 4 Connecting the line set

To prevent oxidation of the copper, purge line set and

condensing unit with dry nitrogen while brazing.

A. Connect the Line Set to the Remote Condensing

Unit

The line set shut-off valves must remain closed and be

protected from heat during the brazing process. Wrap

the valves in a wet rag or other type of heat sink prior to

brazing. Cool braze joint with water immediately after

brazing to prevent heat migration to the valve.

B. Connect the Line Set to the Ice Machine Head

Section

• Cut the suction and liquid tubing with a tubing cutter,

leaving enough tubing to easily braze.

• Connect the line set.

• Cool braze joint with water immediately after brazing

to prevent heat migration.

Connect Suction and Liquid Lines

Step 5 Pressure Test and Evacuate Line Set and

Ice Machine Head Section

• Suction and liquid line set shutoff valves must remain

closed until pressure testing and evacuation are

complete.

• Pressure testing and evacuation can be performed

from the ice machine head section or CVD

condensing unit shut-off valves.

• Schrader valve core removal tools that allow for

removal and installation of the valve cores without

removing manifold gauge set hoses are

recommended to decrease the evacuation time.

• Pressure test @ 150 psi (1000 kPa) for a minimum of

15 minutes.

• Minimum evacuation level is 500 microns.

Warning

The QuietQube Condensing unit contains refrigerant

charge. The two refrigeration valves must remain

closed until proper installation of the line sets is

completed.

Warning

The ice machine head section ships from the factory

pressurized with R404A refrigerant. Recover the

refrigerant from both suction and liquid line access

ports prior to cutting into refrigeration lines.

Step 6 Leak Check The Refrigeration System

Leak check the new line set connections at the ice

machine head section, condensing unit and S trap as

well as all factory joints throughout the entire system.

Disconnect power to the remote condensing unit. Place

the rocker switch into the ON position. This allows the

low side and high side pressures to equalize for leak

checking. Place the rocker switch in the OFF position.

Connect power to the remote condensing unit and allow

system to pump down after leak checking is complete.

Step 7 Open The Valves Prior To Starting The Ice

Machine

A. Slowly backseat (open-turn counterclockwise)

the suction line shutoff valve.

B. Slowly backseat (open-turn counterclockwise)

the liquid line shutoff valve.

Open Valves

Verify O-ring in schrader valve caps are intact and

reinstall on shutoff valves to prevent refrigerant leakage.

Replace shutoff valve access caps and torque to the

following specifications.

Torque Values

Step 8 Insulation Requirements

To prevent condensation the entire suction line must be

insulated. All insulation must be airtight and sealed at

both ends.

The following insulation requirements prevent

condensation at 90°F (32.2°C) ambient 90% Relative

Humidity. If higher humidity is expected, increase

insulation thickness.

The entire suction line set requires:

Important

All refrigeration valve caps must be reinstalled to

prevent future refrigeration leaks.
