Page 34: Calculating Allowable Lineset Distance
CALCULATING ALLOWABLE LINESET DISTANCE Line Set Length The maximum length is 100' (30.5 m). Line Set Rise/Drop The maximum rise is 35' (10.7 m). The maximum drop is 15' (4.5 m). 35 FT. (10.7 M) MAXIMUM DISTANCE SV1751 35 ft. (10.7 m) Rise: The maximum distance the Condenser or Condensing Unit can be above the ice machine.
Page 35 Calculated Line Set Distance The maximum calculated distance is 150' (45.7 m). Line set rises, drops, horizontal runs (or combinations of these) in excess of the stated maximums will exceed compressor start-up and design limits. This will cause poor oil return to the compressor. Make the following calculations to make sure the line set layout is within specifications.

QUIETQUBE® MODELS - FREEZE CYCLE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS TABLE PROCEDURES The following is the procedures for completing each step of the Freeze Cycle Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Tables. Each procedure must be performed exactly for the table to work correctly. Before Beginning Service Ice machines may experience operational problems only during certain times of the day or night.
Page 133 QuietQube® Models - Ice Production Check The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to the operating water and air temperatures. This means a condensing unit with a 70°F (21°C) outdoor ambient temperature and 50°F (10°C) water produces more ice than the same model condensing unit with a 90°F (32°C) outdoor ambient temperature and 70°F (21°C) water.

The air pump is wired in parallel with the harvest valve - Verify the ice machine is in the harvest cycle and the harvest valve is energized.
Page 191: Compressor Electrical Diagnostics
COMPRESSOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS The compressor does not start or will trip repeatedly on overload. Check Resistance (Ohm) Values Compressor windings can have very low ohm NOTE: values. Use a properly calibrated meter. Perform the resistance test after the compressor cools. The compressor dome should be cool enough to touch (below 120°F/49°C) to assure that the overload is closed and the resistance readings will be accurate.
Page 192 CHECK MOTOR WINDINGS TO GROUND Check continuity between all three terminals and the compressor shell or copper refrigeration line. Scrape metal surface to get good contact. If continuity is present, the compressor windings are grounded and the compressor should be replaced. COMPRESSOR DRAWING LOCKED ROTOR To determine if the compressor is seized, check the amp draw while the compressor is trying to start.
Page 193: Diagnosing Start Components
DIAGNOSING START COMPONENTS If the compressor attempts to start, or hums and trips the overload protector, check the start components before replacing the compressor. Capacitor Visual evidence of capacitor failure can include a bulged terminal end or a ruptured membrane. Do not assume a capacitor is good if no visual evidence is present.
Page 194 Relay The relay has a set of contacts that connect and disconnect the start capacitor from the compressor start winding. The contacts on the relay are normally closed (start capacitor in series with the start winding). The relay senses the voltage generated by the start winding and opens the contacts as the compressor motor starts.
Page 195 PTCR The PTCR allows current to flow through the start winding at compressor startup. Current flow heats the ceramic discs in the PTCR. The electrical resistance increases with temperature and stops all except a trickle of current flow through the start winding. The small flow of current keeps the PTCR hot (260°F/ 127°C) and the start winding out of the circuit.
Page 196 PTCR Operation Check 1. Visually inspect the PTCR. Check for signs of physical damage. The PTCR case temperature may reach NOTE: 210°F (100°C) while the compressor is running. This is normal. Do not change a PTCR just because it is hot. 2.

Refrigeration Components HEAD PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE Manitowoc remote systems require head pressure control valves with special settings. Replace defective head pressure control valves only with “original” Manitowoc replacement parts. Refrigerant Charge Verification The correct amount of refrigerant (name plate charge) is required to operate correctly at all ambient conditions.
Page 199 Freeze Cycle Operation All Models The R404A head pressure control valve is non adjustable. At ambient temperatures of approximately 70°F (21°C) or above, refrigerant flows through the valve from the condenser to the receiver inlet. At temperatures below this (or at higher temperatures if it is raining), the head pressure control dome’s nitrogen charge closes the condenser port and opens the bypass port from the compressor discharge line.
