Cooling Tower Applications
A water cooling tower installation does not require
modification of the ice machine. The water regulator
valve for the condenser continues to control the
refrigeration discharge pressure.
It is necessary to know the amount of heat rejection, and
pressure drop through the condenser and water valves
(inlet and outlet) when using a cooling tower on an ice
machine.
• Water entering the condenser must not be lower than
37°F (3°C) or exceed 90°F (32°C).
• Water flow through the condenser must not exceed 5
gal. (19 L) per minute.
• Allow for a pressure drop of 7 psi (48 kPa) between
the condenser water inlet and the outlet of the ice
machine.
• Water exiting the condenser must not exceed 110°F
(43°C).
