Remote Condenser Location
Use the following for planning the placement of
the condenser relative to the ice machine
Location Limits - condenser location must not
exceed ANY of the following limits:
•
Maximum rise from the ice machine to the
condenser is
35 physical feet
•
Maximum drop from the ice machine to the
condenser is
15 physical feet
•
Physical line set maximum length is
100 feet
.
•
Calculated line set length maximum is
150.
Calculation Formula:
•
Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in feet)
•
Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in feet)
•
Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in
feet)
•
Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal
Run = dd+rd+hd = Calculated Line Length
Configurations that do NOT meet these
requirements must receive prior written
authorization from Scotsman.
Do NOT:
•
Route a line set that rises, then falls, then
rises.
•
Route a line set that falls, then rises, then
falls.
Calculation Example 1:
The condenser is to be located 5 feet below the ice
machine and then 20 feet away horizontally.
5 feet x 6.6 = 33. 33 + 20 = 53.
This location would
be acceptable
Calculation Example 2:
The condenser is to be located 35 feet above and
then 100 feet away horizontally.
35 x 1.7 = 59.5. 59.5 +100 = 159.5.
159.5 is
greater than the 150 maximum and is NOT
acceptable.
Operating a machine with an unacceptable
configuration will void the refrigeration system
warranty.
