Condenser ∆T
∆T is the difference in temperature between the
condensing refrigerant and entering air. The ∆T should be
15 to 20°F (-9.4 to -6.6°C) at the beginning of the freeze
cycle (peak load conditions) and drop down to 12 to 17°F
(-11.1 to -8.3°C) during the last 75% of the freeze cycle
(average load conditions).
Refrigerant Charge
Remote ice machines have the serial plate refrigerant
charge (total system charge) located in the ice maker
section. (Remote condensers and line sets are supplied
with only a vapor charge.)
,
CAUTION
Never add more than nameplate charge to ice
machine for any application.
Quick Connect Fittings
The ice machine and line sets come with quick connect
fittings. It is recommended that matching quick connects
(available through Manitowoc Distributors) be installed
in the multi-circuit condenser, and that a vapor “holding”
charge, 5 oz. (150 ml), of proper refrigerant be added to
the condenser prior to connection of the ice machine or
line set to the condenser.
