COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Electric Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet solenoid valve fills the reservoir
assembly with water. Excess water overflows out
the overflow standpipe located at the back of the
reservoir. This action fills and rinses the reservoir
during each harvest cycle. The flow rate is .75
g.p.m.
Water Distribution System
The water distribution system evenly supplies
water to all cells of the evaporator plates. The
water pump pumps water from the reservoir up the
vertical tygon tube to the tee. From there water is
channeled through the water manifold to the water
distributors, above each evaporator plate, and
from six holes within each distributor, water flows
to the cells of each side of the evaporator plates.
Gravity flow returns the unfrozen excess portion of
water to the reservoir for recirculation.
Reservoir
The reservoir, located below the evaporators,
stores the inlet water charge, and collects the
water that flows over the evaporator plates.
High Pressure Safety Control
This is a manual reset control that shuts down the
ice maker, should the discharge pressure ever
reach 450 PSIG.
