Figure 7-3. Remote Pre-Chill and Freeze Cycle
Prechill Refrigeration Sequence
No water flows over the evaporator during the prechill.
The refrigerant absorbs heat (picked up during the
harvest cycle) from the evaporators. The suction
pressure decreases during the prechill.
Freeze Cycle Refrigeration Sequence
The refrigerant absorbs heat from the water running over
the evaporator surface. The suction pressure gradually
drops as ice forms.
The headmaster control valve maintains discharge
pressure in ambient temperatures below 70
°F (21.1°C).
