Page 4: Ice Making And Refrigeration
INTRODUCTION Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual AKING AND EFRIGERATION ASICS Figure 1: Ice-Making Process Fresh water is applied to the interior wall of the evaporator shell. Using a refrigeration process, heat is removed from the fresh water in order to freeze it. As the water freezes onto the wall of the evaporator shell, the auger scrapes it off and into a discharge port. -
Page 5: The Effect Of Temperature
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INTRODUCTION Figure 2: Refrigeration System Diagram FFECT OF EMPERATURE RODUCTION ATER EMPERATURES Seawater and freshwater temperatures affect the ice machine’s efficiency and capacity. The system is most efficient when the seawater and fresh water temperatures are 55-80°F (13-27°C). The ideal temperature for both is 70°F (21.1°C). See Figure 3. High Temperatures - As water temperatures approach 90°F (32°C) and above, the water’s ability to absorb heat diminishes, so the capacity of the system decreases. -
Page 6: Components Of The Icem
INTRODUCTION Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual Figure 3: Ice Production and Temperature Graph OMPONENTS OF THE AKER AKING The ice-making unit has an R-404A compressor, seawater-cooled condenser, a filter/drier, and an accumulator. The auger assembly contains the evaporator barrel, auger rotor, gearbox, motor, water reservoir, and expansion device. The freshwater delivered to it is converted to ice which exits the system via an ice-delivery hose routed properly to a storage box up to 35 feet (10.6m) away. -
Page 7: Ice-Storage Box
Use the 1/4" SAE male flare fitting on the auger unit to supply freshwater for ice making. Provide water with pressure of at least 15 PSI. An in-line water filter (included in kit) is mandatory to comply with Dometic Warranty Regulations, to help prevent clogging of the needle valve in the water reservoir, and to help keep the auger walls from fouling with mineral deposits which will cause premature failure of water seals and bearings. -
Page 8: Installation Procedures
ELECTING THE Never install the unit in the bow of the boat. Dometic ice-making units are designed to be installed in any convenient location on the transom, in the aft, or in a machinery space that does not require ignition protection that is as far aft of midship as possible. -
Page 9: Installing Ice-Delivery Hose
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES NSTALLING ELIVERY Planning the Route The maximum length of the ice-delivery hose is 35 feet (10.6 m) under ideal conditions. The best hose routing provides a level but slightly upward rise from the ice maker to the ice-storage box, with very few bends. No bend should be tighter than a radius of 18"... -

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual The EI540D now REQUIRES a Constant Torque Hose Clamp to secure the ice delivery hose to the auger spout. It is supplied with the machine and attached to the Auger spout with a black wire tie. The clamp must be installed behind the 8 protruding dimples on the auger ice spout. -

Eventually, built-up scale will shorten machine life. A Dometic-supplied filter for use with ice makers must always be used, otherwise the warranty will be void. Replace the filter at least twice yearly, or more often if the machine is used frequently. While filters help clean the water, a 6-month cleaning of the evaporator barrel is required. - Page 12 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual Figure 7: Seawater Piping Recommendations Thru-Hull Inlet Fitting A separate thru-hull fitting must be installed for each seawater pump. Do not attempt to draw water from the thru-hull fitting of an engine, generator, or other device. Install a scoop-type thru-hull fitting: Drill a properly sized hole for the thru-hull fitting as far below the water line and as close to the keel as possible.
- Page 13 Required Flow Rate The Dometic EI540D ice maker requires at least 2 GPM / 7.6 LPM (or 120 GPH / 454.2 LPH) up to a maximum of 3.5 GPM / 13.2 LPM (or 210 GPH / 792 LPH) of seawater flow for rated performance.
- Page 14 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual Figure 9: Seawater Manifold Orientation Pump Relay The pump relay (if needed) is generally located in the engine room or mechanical space near the seawater pump, but can be mounted anywhere that is convenient and accessible. It must be in a dry location, away from water spray, with some room for heat dissipation.
