Engineering Guidelines
Location Requirements
Howe Rapid Freeze Ice Flakers are designed to
operate in ambient room temperatures
between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F (38°C).
Minimum Ambient
Temperature
Maximum Ambient
Temperature
50°F (10°C)
100°F (38°C)
The Ice Flaker warranty is void if it is installed
in ambient room temperatures below 50°F
(10°C)
.
The Ice Flaker must be located above a sanitary
sewer floor drain hub or trench drain to ensure
proper drainage to the floor.
If installing the Ice Flaker with a Howe Ice Bin,
ensure that the bin is adequately secured to
the floor so as to prevent the assembly from
tipping when empty.
Many designers slope floors to the sanitary
sewer inlets to manage these wet areas.
Electrical Requirements
A dedicated 15 amp, 2 pole, 208-230 volt power
supply from a field furnished and installed
disconnect switch is required for each Ice
Flaker.
Water Supply Requirements
Cold water supply to the Ice Flaker must be
totally separate and unaffected by any local hot
water supply.
This cold water supply must be within the range
of 45°F (7°C) to 90°F (32°C).
Minimum Water
Supply Temp.
Maximum Water
Supply Temp.
45°F (7°C)
90°F (32°C)
The cold water supply pressure must be within
a 20 PSIG (140 kPa) to 60 PSIG (410 kPa) range.
Minimum Water
Pressure
Maximum Water
Pressure
20 PSIG (140 kPa) 60 PSIG (410 kPa)
Straight Reverse Osmosis (RO) treated water
should never be supplied to the Ice Flaker.
