B.T.U./Hour
Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle,
the figure shown is an average.
Air Conditioning
Heat of Rejection
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject
heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the
amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing
air conditioning equipment where self -c on ta ine d aircooled ice machines are installed.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the
benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to
reduce air conditioning loads . The am ount of heat add ed
to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine
using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.
Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important
when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled
condenser. Use the peak figure for sizing the cooling
tower.

Water Supply and Drain Requirements
WATER SUPPLY
Local water conditions may require treatment of the
water to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and
remove chlorine odor and taste.
Important
If you are installing a Manitowoc water filter system,
refer to the Installation Instructions supplied with the
filter system for ice making water inlet connections.
WATER INLET LINES
Follow these guidelines to install water inlet lines:
•Do not connect the ice machine to a hot wate r supply.
Be sure all hot water restrictors installed for other
equipment are working. (Check valves on sink
faucets, dishwashers, etc.)
•If water pressure exceeds the maximum
recommended pressure, obtain a water pressure
regulator from your Manitowoc distributor.
•Install a water shut-off valve for both the ice making
and condenser water lines.
•Insulate water inlet lines to prevent condensation.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to
prevent drain water from flowing back into the ice
machine and storage bin:
•Drain lines must have a 1.5 inch drop per 5 feet of
run (2.5 cm per meter), and must not create traps.
•The floor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all drains.
•Run separate bin and ice machine drain lines.
Insulate them to prevent condensation.
•Vent the bin and ice machine drain to the
atmosphere. Do not vent the condenser drain on
water-cooled models.
Cooling Tower Applications
(Water-Cooled Models)
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
the pressure drop through the condenser and water
valves (inlet and outlet) when using a cooling tower on
an ice machine.
•Water entering the co ndenser must not exceed 90°F
(32.2°C).
•Water flow th rough the condenser m ust not e xceed 5
gallons (19 liters) 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
(43.3°C).
Each remote ice machine ships from the factory with a
refrigerant charge appropriate for installation with line
sets of up to 50' (15.25 m). The serial tag on the ice
machine indicates the refrigerant charge.

Additional refrigerant may be required for installations
using line sets between 50' and 100' (15.25-30.5 m)
long. If additional refrigerant is required, an additional
label located next to the Model/Serial Numbers decal
states the amount of refrigerant to be added.
IMPORTANT
EPA CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS
If remote line set length is between 50' and 100' (15.25-
30.5 m), add
nameplate charge.

Refrigerant added to nameplate: ________________
New total refrigerant charge: ___________________
1.5 lb. (24 oz) (0.68 kg) of refrigerant to the
Figure 2-4. Typical Additional Refrigerant Label
If there is no additional label, the nameplate charge is
sufficient for line set s up to 100' (30. 5 m). (See the chart
below.)
WARNING
Potential Personal Injury Situation
The ice machine contains refrigerant charge. Installation of
the line sets must be performed by a properly trained and
EPA certified refrigeration technician aware of the dangers
Condensers must be mounted horizontally with the fan
motor on top.
Remote condenser installations consist of v ertical and
horizontal line sets between the ice machine and the
condenser. When combined, they must fit within
approved specifications. The following guidelines,
drawings and calculation methods must be followed to
verify a proper remote condenser installa tion.
Caution
!
The 60 month compressor warranty (including the
36 month labor replacement warranty) will not apply
if the remote ice machine is not installed according
to specifications.
This warranty also will not apply if the refrigeration
system is modified with a condenser, heat reclaim
device, or other parts or assemblies not
manufactured by Manitowoc Ice, Inc., unless
specifically approved in writing by Manitowoc Ice,
Inc.
GUIDELINES FOR ROUTING LINE SETS
First, cut a 2.5" (6.35 cm) circular hole in the wall or roof
for tubing routing. The line set en d with the 90° bend will
connect to the ice machine. The straight end will connect
to the remote condenser.
Follow these guidelines when routing the refrigerant
lines. This will help insure proper performance and
service accessibility.
1. Optional - Make the service loop in the line sets
(See Figure 2-5). This permits easy access to the
ice machine for cleaning and service. Do not use
hard rigid copper at this location.
2. Required - Do not form traps in the refrigeration lines
(except the service loop). Refrigerant oil must be
free to drain toward the ice machine or the
condenser. Route excess tubing in a supported
downward horizontal spiral (See Figure 2-5). Do not
coil tubing vertically.
3. Required - Keep outdoor refrigerant line runs as
short as possible.
The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m).
The ice machine compressor must have the proper oil
return. The receiver is designed to hold a char ge
sufficient to operate the ice machine in ambient
temperatures between -20°F (-28.9°C) and 120°F
(49°C), with line set lengths of up to 100' (30.5 m).
Line Set Rise/Drop
The maximum rise is 35' (10.7 m).
The maximum drop is 15' (4.5 m).
Caution
!
If a line set has a rise followed by a drop, another
rise cannot be made. Likewise, if a line set has a
drop followed by a rise, another drop cannot be
made.
Calculated Line Set Distance
The maximum distance is 150' (45.7 m).
Line set rises, drops, ho rizontal runs (or combina tions of
these) in excess of the stated maximums will exceed
compressor start-up and design limits. This will cause
poor oil return to the compressor.
Make the following calculations to mak e sure the line set
layout is within specifications.
1. Insert the measured rise into the formula below.
Multiply by 1.7 to get the calculated rise.
(Example: A condenser located 10 feet above the
ice machine has a calculated rise of 17 feet.)
2. Insert the measured drop into the formula below.
Multiply by 6.6 to get the calculated drop.
(Example. A condenser located 10 f eet below t he ice
machine has a calculated drop of 66 feet.)
3. Insert the measured horizontal distance into the
formula below. No calculation is necessary.
4. Add together the calculated rise, calculated drop,
and horizontal distance to get t he total calculated distance. If this total exceeds 150' (45.7 m), move
the condenser to a new location and perform the
calculations again.

Installation InstructionsSection 2
LENGTHENING OR REDUCING LINE SET LENGTHS
In most cases, b y routing the line set properly,
shortening will not be necessary. When shortening or
lengthening is required, do so bef ore con necting the lin e
set to the ice machine or the remote condenser. This
prevents the loss of refrigerant in the ice machine or
condenser.
The quick connect fittings on the line sets are equipped
with Schraeder valves. Use these valves to recover any
vapor charge from the line set. When lengthening or
shortening lines, follow good refrigeration practices and
insulate new tubing. Do not change the tube sizes.
Evacuate the lines and place a bo ut 5 oz (1 43 g) of vapor
refrigerant charge in each line.
CONNECTING A LINE SET
1. Remove the dust caps from the line set, condenser
and ice machine.
2. Apply refr ig eratio n oil to the thr e ad s on the quick
disconnect couplers before connecting them to the
condenser.
3. Carefully thread the female fitting to the condenser
or ice machine by hand.
4. Tighten the couplings with a wrench until they
bottom out.
REMOTE RECEIVER SERVICE VALVE
The receiver service valve is closed during shipment.
Open the valve prior to starting the ice machine.
1. Remove the top and left side panels.
2. Remove the receiver service valve cap.

endorse, recommend, or approve the condenser, and
will not be responsible for its performance or reliability..
approval is f or full w arranty cov erage to
test the condenser in
Important
Manitowoc warrants only complete new and unused
remote packages. Guaranteeing the integrity of a
new ice machine under the terms of our warranty
prohibits the use of pre-existing (used) tubing or
condensers.
HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
Any remote condenser connected to a Manitowoc QModel Ice Machine must have a head pressure control
valve #836809 -3 (a v ailab le from Ma nitow oc Distributors)
installed on the condenser package. Manitowoc will not accept substitute “off the shelf” head pressure control
valves.
FAN MOTOR
The condenser fan must be on during the complete ice
machine freeze cycle (do not cycle on fan cycle control).
The ice maker has a condenser fan motor circuit for use
with a Manitowoc condenser . It is recommended that this
circuit be used to control the condenser fan(s) on the
multi-circuit condenser to assure it is on at the proper
time. Do not exceed the rated amps for the fan motor
circuit listed on the ice machine’s serial tag.
INTERNAL CONDENSER VOLUME
The multi-circuit condenser internal volume must not be
less than or exceed that used by Manitowoc (see chart
on Page 2-18). Do not exceed internal volume and try
to add charge to compensate, as compressor failure
will result.
CONDENSER ∆T
∆T is the difference in temperature between the
condensing refrigerant and entering air. The ∆T should
be 15 to 20°F (-9.4 to -6.6°C) at the beginning of the
freeze cycle (peak load conditions) and dr op down to 12
to 17°F (-11.1 to -8.3°C) 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 application.
Caution
!
