Ice Production Check - Manitowoc UDE065A Technician's Handbook

ICE PRODUCTION CHECK

The amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to
the operating water and air temperatures. This means an
ice machine with a 70°F (21°C) ambient temperature and
50°F (10°C) water produces more ice than the same ice
machine with 90°F (32°C) ambient and 70°F (21°C) water.
1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions:
Air temp entering condenser:____°
Air temp around ice machine:____°
Water temp entering sump trough:____°
2. Refer to the appropriate "Cycle Times, 24 Hr. Ice
Production and Refrigerant Pressure Charts" on page
217. Use the operating conditions determined in
Step 1 to find published 24-Hour Ice Production:_____
• Times are in minutes.
Example: 1 min. 15 sec. converts to 1.25 min.
(15 seconds ÷ 60 seconds = .25 minutes)
• Weights are in pounds.
Example: 2 lb. 6 oz. converts to 2.375 lb.
(6 oz. ÷ 16 oz. = .375 lb.)
