Harvest Period.
About 20-30 seconds after the 1CR relay is energized, the thaw gas valve (18)
opens, the “H” water flush solenoid valve (63) opens, the compressor unloads (when required), the
cutter motor starts, the thaw timer (2TR) is energized, the red thawing gas light illuminates, and
auxiliary equipment such as conveyors etc. start. When the refrigerant in the freezer is warmed
sufficiently (approximately 40
°
F / 5
°
C) to allow the ice in the tubes to release and be sized. The ice
is then discharged into the customers ice handling equipment. See “Ice Handling” for more
information on this subject.
The thaw timer (2TR) is adjustable and should be set for the time
required for all the ice to clear the freezer plus 30 seconds more
.
! CAUTION !
Make sure all the ice clears the freezer with at least 30 seconds
to spare before the next freezer period begins. This is to prevent
refreezing and to allow the ice moving augers etc. to clear.
! CAUTION !
