Refrigeration Module

The Refrigeration Module replaces the lid on the MCH-1000(i)
with an enclosed condensing unit that generates a block of ice in
the tank. With room-temperature water in the tank, the
Refrigeration Module will chill the water to 3˚C in about 75
minutes, and begin to make ice in about 1.5 hours.

Operation

Connect the Refrigeration Module's power cord to a hospital-grade
electrical circuit. Fill the water tank until the water level reaches the top
edge of the chiller plates. Turn on the mains power switch on the rear
panel of the Refrigeration Module. The Refrigeration Module can be left
running all the time; it will not freeze the entire tank. Use the hinged
cover to inspect the water tank and chiller plates, and to add water or
loose ice if necessary. Keep the cover closed under normal operation.

Maintenance

Check the air intake & exhaust vents on the Refrigeration Module
periodically for dust buildup or blockage. Use a vacuum or compressed
air as often as needed to clean dust from the vents and the internal
components. Clean outer surfaces with a damp cloth, using a mild non-
abrasive detergent or bactericide if necessary. During the Quarterly
cleaning procedure, remove the Refrigeration Module from the system
and wipe down the chiller plates and underside of the unit.

Storage

The Refrigeration Module can be stored on its own, standing upright on its stainless steel stands;
however, it is top-heavy and presents a tip hazard when stored in this manner. If possible, it
should be stored in place on top of the MCH, with the unit drained and dry.

Installation

Remove the factory tank lid from the MCH-1000(i). Team-lift the
Refrigeration Module from its shipping crate per the Lifting
instructions, and set it in place on top of the MCH tank. Always
keep the Refrigeration Module upright. Take care to avoid
bending or damaging the two chiller plates and temperature probe
that hang down into the tank. The Refrigeration Module may be
installed with its power cord toward the front or rear of the
MCH-1000(i), whichever is more convenient.
