Section 2

Location of Ice Machine

The location selected for the ice machine must meet the
following criteria. If any of these criteria are not met,
select another location.
• The location must be free of airborne and other
contaminants.
• The air temperature must be at least 1.6°C, but must
not exceed 43.4°C.
• The location must not be near heat-generating
equipment or in direct sunlight.
• The location must not obstruct air flow through or
around the ice machine. Refer to the chart below for
clearance requirements.

There is no minimum clearance required. This value is
recommended for efficient operation and servicing only.
The ice machine must be protected if it will be
subjected to temperatures below 0° C. Failure
caused by exposure to freezing temperatures is not
covered by the warranty. See "Removal from
Service/Winterization".

B.T.U./Hour
Because the heat of rejection varies during the ice making cycle,
the figure shown is an average.
Ice machines, like other refrigeration equipment, reject
heat through the condenser. It is helpful to know the
amount of heat rejected by the ice machine when sizing
air conditioning equipment where self-contained air-
cooled ice machines are installed.
This information is also necessary when evaluating the
benefits of using water-cooled or remote condensers to
reduce air conditioning loads. The amount of heat added
to an air conditioned environment by an ice machine
using a water-cooled or remote condenser is negligible.
Knowing the amount of heat rejected is also important
when sizing a cooling tower for a water-cooled
condenser. Use the peak figure for sizing the cooling
tower.
