Examples of hot gas valve inlet/compressor
discharge line temperature comparison
Findings Comments
The inlet of the hot gas
valve is cool enough to
touch and the
compressor discharge
line is hot. This is normal as the discharge
line should always be too hot to
touch and the hot gas valve inlet,
although too hot to touch during
harvest, should be cool enough
to touch after 5 minutes into the
freeze cycle.
The inlet of the hot gas
valve is hot and
approaches the
temperature of a hot
compressor discharge
line. This is an indication something is
wrong, as the hot gas valve inlet
did not cool down during the
freeze cycle. If the compressor
dome is also entirely hot, the
problem is not a hot gas valve
leaking, but rather something
causing the compressor (and the
entire ice machine) to get hot.
Both the inlet of the hot
gas valve and the
compressor discharge
line are cool enough to
touch. This is an indication something is
wrong, causing the compressor
discharge line to be cool to the
touch. This is not caused by a hot
gas valve leaking.
