Ice Machine Operation
Section 3
3-2
Part Number 80-1558-3
Sequence Of Operation
NOTE: The toggle switch must be in the ice position and
the water curtain must be in place on the evaporator
before the ice machine will start.
INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1.
Water Purge
Before the compressor starts, the water pump and water
dump solenoid are energized for 45 seconds, to
completely purge the ice machine of old water. This
feature ensures that the ice making cycle starts with
fresh water.
The harvest valve(s) is also energized during water
purge, although it stays on for an additional 5 seconds
(50 seconds total on time) during the initial refrigeration
system start-up.
2.
Refrigeration System Start-Up
The compressor starts after the 45 second water purge,
and it remains on throughout the entire Freeze and
Harvest Sequences. The water fill valve is energized at
the same time as the compressor. The harvest valve(s)
remains on for 5 seconds during initial compressor start-
up and then shuts off.
At the same time the compressor starts, the condenser
fan motor (air-cooled models) is supplied with power
throughout the entire Freeze and Harvest Sequences.
The fan motor is wired through a fan cycle pressure
control, therefore it may cycle on and off. (The
compressor and condenser fan motor are wired through
the contactor. As a result, anytime the contactor coil is
energized, the compressor and fan motor are supplied
with power.)
FREEZE SEQUENCE
3.
Prechill
The compressor is on for 30 seconds (60 seconds initial
cycle) prior to water flow, to prechill the evaporator. The
water fill valve remains on until the water level probe is
satisfied.
4.
Freeze
The water pump restarts after the prechill. An even flow
of water is directed across the evaporator and into each
cube cell, where it freezes. The water fill valve will cycle
on and then off one more time to refill the water trough.
When sufficient ice has formed, the water flow (not the
ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After
approximately 10 seconds of continual water contact,
the harvest sequence is initiated. The ice machine
cannot initiate a harvest sequence until a 6 minute
freeze lock has been surpassed.
