Additional Pre-install Information for Cooling Tower Applications (L models)
The ice machine does not need to be modified for use with a cooling tower provided the cooling
tower is properly designed for the application. Information regarding the amount of heat
rejection, as well as the pressure drop through the condenser and liquid valves is required to
properly select or design a cooling tower application for an ice machine.
Coolant entering the condenser must not exceed 90°F (32.2°C).
Coolant exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F (43.3°C).
Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psi (48 kPa) between the liquid coolant inlet and outlet of the
condenser.
The condenser liquid control valve will regulate the flow of coolant through the condenser,
thereby controlling the high side pressure in the ice machine.
