  • Page 19: Operation

    NM1250R OPERATION Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water then goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator.
  • Page 20 NM1250R OPERATION: Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant 502 is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser and to the head pressure control At the remote condenser the gas is cooled by air and it then condenses into a liquid. This...
