1. Introduction
VOGT ICE
A Brief History Of Our Company. Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine
shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice® machine and
revolutionized the ice-making industry. Our first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old canice plants, which required much hard labor and large amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting,
and crushing ice by hand.
Today , VOGT ICE, LLC carries on the tradition as one of the world’s leading producers of icemaking equipment.
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’ icemakers, 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 have learned in over a century of
experience, is reflected in the 05TA model Tube-Ice® machines. 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 operations have 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 that is a record
of the unit’s satisfactory operation on 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 when you install it, maintain it, and
service it properly.
Please read your manual carefully before attempting installation, operation, or servicing of this
professionally designed piece of equipment.

INTRODUCTION
Important Safety Notice. This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate
backgrounds of electrical, refrigeration and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair major
equipment may result in personal injury and 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.
Special Precautions To Be Observed When Charging Refrigeration Systems. Only technically
qualified persons, experienced and knowledgeable in the handling of refrigerant and 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 refrigerants.
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 R-22/404A
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 and illegal release of refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
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.
Always store cylinders containing refrigerant in a cool place. They should never be exposed to
temperatures higher than 125°F 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.
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 connected to an
approved recovery mechanism with a safety shutoff sensor to assure contents do not exceed net
weight specified by cylinder manufacturer or any applicable code requirements.

Cooling Tower.
For water cooled machines only. When selecting a cooling tower, careful attention must be given
to operating wet bulb conditions. It is advisable to check with your local cooling tower distributor
for their recommendations based on actual operating conditions in your area. An average wet-bulb
of 78°F is typical in the U.S. but many localities have design wet-bulbs as low as 72°F or as high as
82°F.
The cooling tower water pump must be capable of delivering the required volume of water through
the condenser. Due to cooling tower location and pressure drop through water lines and water
regulating valves, the pump must be sized for each installation. Refer to TABLE 11-1 for condenser
water requirements. The water piping for the cooling tower and the installation of the pump must be
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Proper water treatment for the prevention of mineral and foreign matter accumulation in the
condenser or cooling tower is recommended. A water analysis should be obtained to determine the
proper chemicals to use.

Phase Check
DO NOT attempt to start machine without priming pump
and insuring proper rotation of both cutter and pump.
Refer to FIGURE 3-2A & 3-2B (space diagram) for connection locations.
Cutter and pump motor rotation are factory synchronized but must be checked at installation. For
ice production, the cutter disc, as viewed at the ice discharge opening should turn from left to right
(crushed rotation should be from right to left). The pump rotation should match the marking on the
pump housing. The pump will need to be primed by starting the machine in the clean mode and
allowing it to run for several minutes. To change direction of rotation for both, cutter and pump,
disconnect power and reverse L1 and L3 (incoming power wires) at the compressor motor contactor.
Voltage Unbalance
Voltage unbalance can cause motors to overheat and fail.
The maximum voltage unbalance between any two legs should be no greater than 2%.
Example: Supply Voltage = 230-3-60
Voltage Readings: AB = 220 Volts
BC = 225 Volts Average = (220 + 225 + 227)/3 = 224 Volts
AC = 227 Volts
(AB) 224-220 = 4 Volts (Highest Deviation)
(BC) 225-224 = 1 Volts % Voltage Unbalance = 100 x (4/224) = 1.78% “Acceptable”
(AC) 227-224 = 3 Volts
Important: If the supply voltage phase unbalance is more the 2%, contact your local electric
utility company.
Current Unbalance
Voltage unbalance will cause a current unbalance, but a current unbalance
does not necessarily mean that a voltage unbalance exists. A loose terminal connection or a buildup
of dirt or carbon on one set of contacts would cause a higher resistance on that leg than on the other
two legs. Current follows the path of least resistance, therefore if terminal connection L1 is loose or
dirty, L2 and/or L3 will have higher current. Higher current causes more heat to be generated in the
motor windings.
The maximum acceptable current unbalance is 10%.
Example:
Current Readings: L1 = 96 Amps
L2 = 91 Amps Average = (96 + 91 + 98)/3 = 95Amps
L3 = 98 Amps
(L1) 96-95 = 1 Amps
(L2) 95-91 = 4 Amps (Highest Deviation) % Current Unbalance = 100 x (4/95) = 4.2% “Acceptable”
(L3) 98-95 = 3 Amps

Air-Cooled Condenser Installation Instructions
1. Use only Vogt approved condensers. Any exceptions to this policy must be obtained in writing
from Vogt prior to installation and operation of the ice machine.
2. Outdoor condensers must be installed with vertical air flow. Indoor condensers used for heat
recovery may be installed with either horizontal or vertical air flow.
NOTE: Condenser must be ordered for horizontal air flow.
3. The condenser must be mounted above the ice machine.
4. Horizontal runs in the liquid return line should slope 1/4” per foot with liquid refrigerant draining
freely in the direction of normal operating flow (back to the ice machine) with no traps in the
liquid line.
5. Horizontal runs in the discharge line should slope 1/4” per foot in the normal direction of flow
(away from the ice machine).
6. Traps must be installed in discharge lines at the base of all vertical risers. There should be no
intentional traps in liquid lines. Trap volume should be kept to a minimum. Long vertical rises
should have traps every 20 feet. Typical details are shown in FIGURE 3-6.
7. Flooding head pressure controls such as Alco Headmaster are not to be used since they cause
excessive subcooling of the returned liquid refrigerant and interfere with reliable ice harvest.
8. The discharge and liquid lines must be insulated with 1/2” thick Armaflex insulation or equal.
9. Use only ACR grade copper pipe, Type L. Recommended line sizes are shown in TABLE 3-5.
10. For field attachment instructions, see FIGURE 3-5.
11. Distance between ice machine and condenser must not exceed 150 equivalent feet. Refer to
Condenser Equivalent Line Size worksheet (see TABLE 3-5 ).
12. Condensers must be provided with a cold weather valve kit per FIGURE 3-5. These valves allow
one-half of the condenser to be disabled in cold weather. Running the ice machine with one-half
of the condenser in cold weather makes it easier to maintain minimum necessary condensing
pressure particularly in windy conditions.
13. Condensers with multiple fans must be provided with a thermostat to turn off unneeded fans in
cold weather. Turning off unneeded fans reduces on-off cycling of the fan(s) and allows for a
steadier condensing pressure and more consistent warm gas for ice harvesting FIGURE 3-7.

INSTALLING YOUR TUBE-ICE® MACHINE
14. When extreme cold conditions are expected or encountered (temperatures below 0°F and wind
greater than 15 MPH), it may be necessary to install a protective enclosure around the condenser.
Apparatuses such as louvers may also be used for varying conditions. Contact the factory for
suggestions.
15. After installation, the field installed lines are to be evacuated to a vacuum of 500 microns or less
and held for at least one hour. After the vacuum pump is removed, vacuum should hold at 500
microns or less for at least 5 minutes.
16. The machine is shipped with a full operating charge of refrigerant sufficient to fill the condenser
and connecting lines. If the condenser piping is longer than 50 feet (one way), additional R-22 or
R-404a may need to be added to retain enough refrigerant in the receiver for thawing purposes
(see table. Refer to the operating level mark on the receiver and charge accordingly. Each 1” of
liquid level in the receiver equals approximately 5.5 pounds of R-22 or R-404a.

17. All piping must be done in accordance with applicable local and national codes. Such codes may
include “The Safety Code For Mechanical Refrigeration” (ANSI B9.1) and “The Code For
Refrigerant Piping” (ANSI B31.5).
18. The following installation guidelines are strongly suggested. While they do not affect the
machine warranty, they may be required for safe operation and to comply with all applicable
electrical and mechanical codes:
a. Local electrical code must be checked for wiring method.
b. The installer must provide a disconnect switch(s) adjacent to the condenser.
c. Electrical connections between the condenser and the Tube-Ice® machine require
minimum 12 ga. wire.
d. All electrical fittings and components exposed to the weather must be suitable for
outdoor installation.
The design total heat rejection for each Tube-Ice® machine, the recommended air-cooled condenser,
and condenser physical and electrical data are shown on the next page. Specified energy efficiency
ratings of the ice machines are based on use of the recommended condenser and approved piping
practices.
Recommended condensers provide the indicated total heat rejection at 90°F ambient, 100°F
condensing. Vogt Ice, LLC is not responsible for head pressure problems if other than the
recommended condensers are used. For continuous operation at ambient temperature above 105°F,
consult the factory about using a larger condenser.
