05TA Service Manual ® HOW YOUR TUBE-ICE MACHINE WORKS ® How Your Tube-Ice Machine Works Principle of Operation For a detailed description of the functions of each control panel component, see Section 6. Operation of the machine is controlled by “Clean/Off/Ice”, “Start” and “Stop” switches located in the control panel of the freezing unit.
05TA Service Manual ® HOW YOUR TUBE-ICE MACHINE WORKS Air-cooled machines have a solenoid valve (53), sometimes referred to as the “X” valve, in the compressor discharge line, and a check valve (101) in the liquid return line to the receiver. These valves prevent the migration of refrigerant to the condenser when the machine is not operating.
05TA Service Manual START-UP AND OPERATION 5. Start-Up and Operation Refrigeration System Review. The refrigeration system uses R-22 or R-404a refrigerant, a compressor, a refrigerant float switch, a flooded evaporator (freezer), and warm gas defrost. Following the schematic, notice that during the freeze period of the machine’s cycle, the compressed discharge gas leaves the compressor and goes to the condenser where it is condensed into liquid by the removal of heat by either air or water passing through the condenser.
05TA Service Manual START-UP AND OPERATION Start-up Checklist. Be sure to complete and return the “Warranty Registration/Start-Up Report” located at the front of the manual. _____ 1. See that water-inlet and outlet connections are attached properly. The water inlet shutoff valves for the water tank and condenser should be open.
At the termination of the harvest period, the machine will begin the freeze period. NOTE: Be sure to observe several cycles of ice production to confirm the satisfactory operation of the machine. Complete the remaining part of the “Warranty Registration/Start-Up Report” and return it to the Vogt Ice LLC. 3/14/14...
05TA Service Manual START-UP AND OPERATION CAUTION If it should become necessary to add refrigerant to the system, charging valve (28) is provided for this purpose. Be sure to follow all local and federal regulations regarding the handling of refrigerants and their illegal emission into the atmosphere. CAUTION Check the refrigerant level after the machine has operated for a few cycles.

05TA Service Manual MAINTENANCE It is advisable to double-check the system to make sure that fouling is actually causing the trouble. High head pressure alone does not mean a fouled condenser. The following possibilities should always be checked before cleaning is undertaken: Non-condensables in system or faulty head pressure gauge? Check standby pressures against refrigerant tables.
Page 63
05TA Service Manual MAINTENANCE Chemical Cleaning. Vogt Tube-Ice® makes no recommendation for any particular chemical preparation. The same chemical may not be effective for all situations. a) Use only preparations from an established, reliable source. b) Follow directions exactly, particularly regarding amounts to use, and flushing or neutralizing procedure after cleaning.
05TA Service Manual MAINTENANCE Any type tool to be considered should be tried first on a piece of copper tubing held in a vise or flare block. Nylon, brass, or copper brushes are recommended. If any flakes of copper appear or if score marks are made inside the tube, the tool should not be used.
05TA Service Manual MAINTENANCE Compressor Oil Charge (oz) 3DT3R & 3DTHR 4DE3R (50hz machines before 2013) TABLE 7-3 Compressor Oil Capacity An oil pump should be used to force any oil that may be required into the system.

05TA Service Manual 9-12 SERVICE OPERATIONS Sentronic Oil Pressure Safety Control (4D & 6D compressors before March 2011). All Sentronics utilize a pressure sensor and an electronic control module to precisely measure oil pump differential pressure. The main advantage of Sentronic is the elimination of the traditional capillary tubes, bellows, and pressure connections that mechanical pressure switches require to measure differential oil pressure.
05TA Service Manual 9-13 SERVICE OPERATIONS Sentronic Sensor (2D, 3D, 4D & 6D compressors before March 2011). The same oil pressure sensor is used for all Sentronics. It mounts directly into the oil pump. The Sentronic sensor measures oil pump differential pressure. It has an internal contact that opens on low oil pressure and signals the Sentronic electronic control module to begin time out.
