Create the System
Plan the installation
. The system consists of four
parts: the ice making section, the compressor
package, the interconnecting tubing and the
remote condenser. Of these, the biggest variable is
the interconnecting tubing.
Tubing:
The tubing consists of three pre-charged,
insulated and sealed soft copper tubes. They each
contain a small holding charge of R-404A. One
tube, the liquid line, is 3/8” OD. The discharge tube
is ½” OD and the suction tube is ¾” OD. A site
inspection will determine what length of tubing is
required for the installation.
Excess tubing must be either shortened at the job
site (recovering the holding charge, purging with
nitrogen when brazing and evacuating to 50
microns) or coiled up inside the building.
Installations with greater than 20 feet of vertical lift
between ice machine and the compressor require
a suction line trap. The suction line requires careful
handling and large radius bends to prevent kinking.
Roof mounting:
To make installation easier the
compressor and condenser are designed to be
assembled together on the roof. Some
installations will require the use of a hoist to lift the
components to the roof.
Pad mounting:
The compressor and condenser
may be located below the ice making section, up to
a limit of 15 feet.
Distance from unit:
Limited to the length of the
available pre-charged tubing.
Elevation:
CP unit limited to 35 feet above the ice
making section.
Compressor package:
Electrical power must be
supplied to the compressor package. The remote
condenser fan motor takes its power from the
compressor package.
Ice making section location and attachment:
The unique footprint of the CME686 and CME810
require adapter kits to allow placement on
dispensers and bins. The remote tubing
connections must be made from the right side of
the machine, and connections should not be made
until the machine is nearly in its final installed
position. The 115/60 Hz ice making section is cord
connected and requires an outlet within 6 feet of
the installation.
Interconnecting wires:
An interconnecting wire
harness is included with the CP unit. One end
plugs into the ice making section and the other into
the compressor package. The system will NOT
operate without this harness.
Exposed tubing:
Minimize the amount of tubing
exposed outdoors.
Confirm Component Availability:
·
CME686 or CME810
·
CP686 or CP886 or CP1086
·
ERC680 or ERC1086 or ER2C6810 unless
connecting to an approved condenser coil.
Note: Only these condensers may be used. They
do NOT contain a headmaster valve. That valve is
in the Compressor Package.
Do NOT use any
other Scotsman condenser.
Do NOT use these
condensers on any other Scotsman remote
product.
·
Interconnecting tubing kit
Note: Check tubing integrity before assembly by
attaching a refrigeration compound gauge onto one
of each tube’s schrader valves. If there is pressure,
the tube is OK, if not it should be checked for
damage and leaks.
