•
Similar to conventional remote ice cubers
– Condensing unit forces liquid refrigerant to the ice
making section
•
TXV meters refrigerant all evaporators
– At a pre-determined water temperature, the pump
stops for 30 seconds
– As ice forms on the evaporators, the water level drops
– About half way through the cycle the water reservoir
re-fills
– The next time the water level drops to the point where
the top of the slot in the float stick blocks the eyes, the
system goes into the harvest cycle
