1. Introduction
Henry Vogt Machine Co.
A Brief History Of Our Company. shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. producers of ice-making equipment.
Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine Today, Vogt Tube Ice LLC is one of the world’s leading
In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice® machine and revolutionized the ice-making industry. Our first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old can-ice plants, which required hard labor and large amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting, and crushing ice by hand.
Vogt Energy-Saving Tube-Ice Machines Are Cost Effective. Today, Vogt Tube-Ice® machines enjoy a well-earned reputation as the most energy efficient, dependable ice-making equipment in the world.
Using as little as one-half to one-third the energy required by competitors’ ice makers, Tube-Ice® machines produce the same amount of ice--in restaurants, sports arenas, packing plants, and wholesale operations around the globe--at great savings.
In addition, Tube-Ice® machines are renowned for their long life, giving many customers more than 35 years of dependable service. Ask someone who owns one.
Preview. All the skill in engineering and fabrication that we’ve learned in over a century of experience is reflected in every Tube-Ice® machine. Since Vogt introduced Tube-Ice® machines in 1938, the process of making Tube-Ice® ice has been widely recognized as the most economical means of production. The machine’s economic and reliable operation has been proven over and over again, in a network of varied types of installations throughout the world.
Furnished with your machine is the Certificate Of Test--the report of operating data which is a record of the unit’s satisfactory operation at our factory test floor. It is evidence of our desire to deliver to you “the finest ice-making unit ever made.”
This manual is designed to assist you in the installation, start-up, and maintenance of your unit. Your Tube-Ice® machine will give you a lifetime of service provided you install, maintain, and service it properly.

INTRODUCTION
Important Safety Notice. This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds in electrical, refrigeration and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair major equipment may result in personal injury and /or property damage. The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use. It is important that personnel understand the properties of this refrigerant and that they be thoroughly trained in safe practices for its use and handling. Refer to the enclosed “Freon Compounds and Safety” in Appendix A.
Safety Symbols & What They Mean. Prior to installation or operation of the Tube-Ice® machine, please read this manual. Are you familiar with the installation, start-up, and operation of a TubeIce® machine? Before you operate, adjust or service this machine, you should read this manual, understand the operation of this machine, and be aware of possible dangers.
These safety symbols will alert you
when special care is needed.

INTRODUCTION |
Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only technically qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of R-22 or R-404a refrigerants, and the operation of refrigeration systems, should perform the operations described in this manual. All local, federal, and EPA regulations must be strictly adhered to when handling R-22 or R-404a refrigerants. See “Material Safety Data Sheet”, MSDS Code No. DU000025 (R-22) or MSDS Code No. DU005612 (R-404a) in Appendix A. For further information concerning refrigerants and handling practices see internet web site: www.dupont.com/suva/
If a refrigeration system is being charged from refrigerant cylinders, disconnect each cylinder when empty or when the system is fully charged. A gage should be installed in the charging line to indicate refrigerant cylinder pressure. The cylinder may be considered empty of liquid refrigerant when the gauge pressure is 25 pounds or less, and there is no frost on the cylinder. Close the refrigerant charging valve and cylinder valve before disconnecting the cylinder. Loosen the union in the refrigerant charging line--carefully to avoid unnecessary, excessive or illegal release of refrigerant into the atmosphere.
!CAUTION !
Immediately close system charging valve at commencement of defrost or thawing cycle if refrigerant cylinder is connected. Never leave a refrigerant cylinder connected to system except during charging operation. Failure to observe either of these precautions can result in transferring refrigerant from the system to the refrigerant cylinder, over-filling it, and possibly causing the cylinder to rupture because of pressure from expansion of the liquid refrigerant brought on by an increase in temperature.
!CAUTION !
Always store cylinders containing refrigerant in a cool place. They should never be exposed to temperatures higher than 120 F (R-22) or 108 F (R-404a), and should be stored in a manner to prevent abnormal mechanical shocks.
Also, transferring refrigerant from a refrigeration system into a cylinder can be very dangerous and is not recommended.
!CAUTION !
It is not recommended that refrigerant be transferred from a refrigeration system directly into a cylinder. If such a transfer is made, the refrigerant cylinder must be an approved, CLEAN cylinder--free of any contaminants or foreign materials--and must be weighed continuously to assure contents do not exceed net weight specified by cylinder manufacturer or any applicable code requirements.
! CAUTION !

Inspection. As soon as you receive your machine, inspect it for any damage. If damage is suspected, note it on the shipper’s papers (i.e., the trucker’s Bill of Lading). Immediately make a separate written request for inspection by the freight line’s agent. Any repair work or alteration to the machine without the permission of Tube-Ice LLC can void the machine’s warranty. You should also notify your Vogt distributor or the factory.
Description Of Machine. A Vogt low side Tube-Ice machine is a remote ice producing plant requiring refrigerant suction connection, refrigerant liquid connection, thaw gas connection, makeup water supply, electrical connection, and the proper refrigerant charge.
The machine has been partially factory tested prior to shipment and will require adjustment to meet the high side (condensing unit) operating conditions. See Start-up and Operation for the correct setting of the controls.
After factory pressure testing of the machine, the machine is evacuated and charged with nitrogen gas pressure for shipment. This prevents air or moisture from entering the system during transit. There should be a positive pressure (20-25 psig) indicated on the control panel gages when the machine is received. The machine has been cleaned with ice machine cleaner and flushed so that the machine is ready for ice production.
Safety Tags and Labels. Be sure to read and adhere to all special tags and labels attached to valves or applied to various areas of the machine. They provide important information necessary for safe and efficient operation of your equipment.
The machine is available in three different tube sizes for producing ice 7/8” OD x 1” long, 1 1/8” OD x 1” long, or 1 3/8” OD x 1” long. The ice is cut to length by a rotating breaker type cutter. Ice can be produced up to 1 1/2” long by modifying the spacers under the adapter plates (see Chapter 10, “Ice Length” for modifying instructions). Crushed ice is also available by modifying the cutter and making minor adjustments to the machine (see Chapter 10, “Crushed Ice”)

Notes:
1.Makeup water is average flow and includes 25% blow down. Peak flow rate is 15 GPM. at 40 PSI minimum. When water quality is good, machine can be operated with 5% to 10% blow down.
2.Ratings are at 90 F ambient for ice machine.
3.Capacity ratings are based on 85 F water entering condenser. For entering water temperatures above 85 F, deduct 4% in capacity for each 5 F.
4.Capacity shown is the average for model. Individual machines may vary up to 5% above or below depending on field conditions.
TABLE 2-1
P24FL & P34FL Specifications
Storage (prior to installation or start-up). The machine must not be stored or installed in an area that is subject to reach temperatures at or above 110 F (43.3 C). Temperatures above this may cause the relief valves to open and result in the loss of refrigerant.

INSTALLING YOUR TUBE ICE MACHINE |
3. Installing Your Tube-Ice Machine
Your machine will be shipped to you as one package. You will need to arrange for the handling of the package as soon as it arrives, see the machine specifications Table 2-1 for shipping and operating weight. Before you remove the unit from the truck, be certain that any sign of damage, however slight, is noted on the carrier’s papers.
Note: See “Lifting Procedure” drawing furnished with this manual, Fig 3-5 and 3-6.
Machine Room. The machine must be located inside a suitable building and must not be subjected to ambient temperatures below 50 F (10 C) or above 110 F (43.3 C). Heat radiation from other sources (sunlight, furnaces, condenser, etc.) and unusual air current may affect the operation of the machine and should be avoided. The electrical components of the Tube-Ice® machine are rated
NEMA 1. Therefore, the machine should not be located in a hazardous area or sprayed with water. The machine should be installed in an area where water will not stand, but will readily drain away from the machine.
Space Requirements. Refer to the space diagrams, Figures 3-1 and 3-3, for recommended minimum clearance around the machine for ease of servicing and observation. Pay particular attention to the additional space required. If it ever becomes necessary to mechanically clean the condenser tubes, extra space will be required on one end (preferably on the opposite end from the water inlet and outlet) for the cleaning tools.
Foundation. Refer to the space diagrams, Figures 3-2 and 3-5, for recommended minimum foundation requirements. The figures show anchor bolt details and machine anchor hole details. Contact your local distributor for seismic anchoring requirements in your area.
!WARNING !
Lifting or moving heavy equipment should only be attempted by competent rigging and hoisting contractors. Never allow personnel near or under heavy equipment when it is being moved or lifted. Failure to comply could result in personal injury or loss of life.
!WARNING !
Lifting Procedures. Your Tube-Ice machine is provided with lifting lugs for the purpose of unloading and moving the machine to its operation location. Refer to the enclosed drawings for instructions and illustrations of their use.
P24FL - Figure 3-5. Machine weight 6,200 lbs.
P34FL - Figure 3-6. Machine weight 10,000 lbs.
These figures are intended as a guide to unloading and lifting the P24FLand P34FL Tube-Ice® machine. The Vogt Tube Ice LLC. is not responsible for product damage or personnel injury or loss of life during the loading or lifting procedure.
