ANALYZING DISCHARGE PRESSURE
DURING FREEZE OR HARVEST CYCLE
Procedure
1.
Determine the ice machine operating conditions:
Air temp. entering condenser
______
Air temp. around ice machine
______
Water temp. entering float valve
______
2.
Refer to Operating Pressure Chart for ice machine
being checked. (These charts begin on page 7-31.)
Use the operating conditions determined in Step 1
to find the published normal discharge pressures.
Freeze Cycle ______
Harvest Cycle ______
3.
Perform an actual discharge pressure check.

4.
Compare the actual discharge pressure (Step 3)
with the published discharge pressure (Step 2).
The discharge pressure is normal when the actual
pressure falls within the published pressure range
for the ice machine’s operating conditions.
