Ice Production Check
The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to
the operating water and air temperatures. This means a
condensing unit with a 21°C ambient temperature and
10°C water produces more ice than the same model
condensing unit with a 32°C ambient temperature and
21°C water.
1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions:
Air temp entering condenser:____°
Air temp around ice machine:____°
Water temp entering sump trough:____°
2. Refer to the appropriate 24-Hour Ice Production
Chart (starting on page 167). Use the operating
conditions determined in step 1 to find published
24-Hour Ice Production:_____
• Times are in minutes.
Example: 1 min. 15 sec. converts to 1.25 min.
(15 seconds ÷ 60 seconds = .25 minutes)
• Weights are in kilograms.
• Perform an ice production check using the formula
