ICE PRODUCTION CHECK
The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to the
operating water and air temperatures. This means an ice
machine with a 21°C) ambient temperature and 10°C water
produces more ice than the same ice machine with 32°C
ambient 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.
Use the operating conditions determined in Step 1 to
find published 24 hr. ice production:____
Times are in minutes.
Example: 1 minute, 15 seconds converts to 1.25
minutes, (15 seconds ÷ 60 seconds = .25 minutes)
3. Perform an ice production check using the formula
below.
Weighing the ice is the only 100% accurate check. However,
if the ice pattern is normal and the 3mm thickness is
maintained, the ice slab weights listed with the 24-Hour Ice
Production Charts may be used.
4. Compare the results of step 3 with step 2. Ice production
is normal when these numbers match closely. If they
match closely, determine if:
Another larger ice machine is required.
Relocating the existing equipment to lower the load
conditions is required.
Contact the local Manitowoc distributor for information on
available options and accessories.
