Cooling Tower.
For water cooled machines only.
When selecting a cooling tower, careful attention must be given to
operating wet bulb conditions. It is advisable to check with your local cooling tower distributor for
their recommendations based on actual operating conditions in your area. An average wet-bulb of
78
°
F is typical in the U.S. but many localities have design wet-bulbs as low as 72
°
F or as high as
82
°
F.
The cooling tower water pump must be capable of delivering the required volume of water through
the condenser. Due to cooling tower location and pressure drop through water lines and water
regulating valves, the pump must be sized for each installation. Refer to TABLE 11-4 for condenser
water requirements. The water piping for the cooling tower and the installation of the pump must be
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Proper water treatment for the prevention of mineral and foreign matter accumulation in the
condenser or cooling tower is recommended. A water analysis should be obtained to determine the
proper chemicals to use.
Ice Bin Thermostat Sensor (Optional)
An electronic ice bin thermostat may be added to
automatically cycle machine operation. To assure proper protection for the machine or auxiliary equipment,
the sensor of the ice bin thermostat must be located so that ice will contact it when the bin is full (See
FIGURE 3-11 for typical mounting bracket). The distance between the top of the ice bin and the sensor
allows space for the machine to make an additional discharge of ice AFTER the ice contacts the probe. This
will vary based on the size of the bin and the ice distribution system employed.
Note:
The probe should also be mounted on the back side of the bracket, opposite of the front of the bin to
reduce the possibility of damage from ice removal equipment.
The control panel is electrically connected so that the bin thermostat will stop the machine only upon the
completion of a harvest period.

Typical Bin Sensor Mounting
Note:
Actual location of sensor will vary based on bin layout and ice distribution system.
