    Remote Condenser Introduction Ice-O-Matic Remote Condenser Systems are comprised of three components. The pre-charged remote condenser, the pre-charged ice maker and the pre-charged line set. The pre-charged line sets are available in 25, 40, 45, 60 or 75 foot line set lengths. The 60 foot line set will require adding an additional 16 ounces of refrigerant to the system.
  • Page 9 Remote Condenser The VRC remote condensers incorporate the mixing valve in the condenser. This configuration allows up to a 100 foot calculated remote line set run. Reference the diagram below to calculate the maximum 100 foot line set run. Limitations for new remote machines that have the mixing valve mounted in the condenser.

    Remote Condenser Remote Refrigeration System The Remote Refrigeration System is shown in the above diagram. During the freezing cycle, high temperature and high pressure liquid refrigerant is directed from the condenser through a mixing valve, receiver, liquid line solenoid heat exchanger and a filter drier. The expansion valve meters refrigerant to the coils on the back of the evaporator.

    Remote Condenser Component Description Mixing Valve (Headmaster, Low Ambient Control Valve) This valve serves as the head pressure regulating valve. It contains a pre-determined charge of nitrogen in the valve bellows. When the temperature at the condenser is above 70°F (21°C), the refrigerant flow from the compressor is directed by the mixing valve through the condenser and into the receiver.
