SELF-CONTAINED AIR OR WATER-COOLED MODELS
Self-Contained Prechill and Freeze Cycle (Models J250/J320/J420/J450/J600/J800/J1000)
Prechill Refrigeration Sequence
No water flows over the evaporator during the
prechill. The refrigerant absorbs heat (picked up
during the harvest cycle) from the evaporator. The
suction pressure decreases during the prechill.
Freeze Cycle Refrigeration Sequence
The refrigerant absorbs heat from water running over
the evaporator surface. The suction pressure gradually
drops as ice forms.
