INTERNAL CONDENSER VOLUME
The multi-circuit condenser internal volume must not
be less, nor greater, than that used by Manitowoc.
CAUTION
Do not exceed internal volume and try to add
charge to compensate. Compressor failure will
result.
CONDENSER
∆
∆∆
∆
T
∆T is the difference in temperature between the
condensing refrigerant and the entering air. The ∆T
should be 15-20°F at the beginning of the freeze
cycle (peak load conditions) and drop to 12-17°F
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 reason.
QUICK-CONNECT FITTINGS
The ice machine and the line sets come with quick-
connect fittings. It is recommended that matching
quick-connects (available from Manitowoc
distributors) be installed in the multi-circuit
condenser, and a vapor “holding” charge (5 oz.) of
refrigerant be added.

Amount reflects additional refrigerant added to nameplate charge to ensure proper operation at all ambient conditions.
J1300 has an additional 1.5 lb., J1800 has an additional 2.0 lb.
