Ambient water temperature is measured in the ice machine water reservoir.
Ice capacity test
Ice machine production capacity can only be determined by weighing ice produced in a specific time period.
1. Replace all panels on ice machine.
2. Disconnect the drain solenoid.
3. Run ice machine for at least 15 minutes.
4. Weigh and record weight of container used to catch ice.
5. Catch ice for 15 or 20 minutes.
6. Reconnect the drain solenoid.
7. Weigh harvested ice and record total weight.
8. Subtract weight of container from total weight.
9. Convert fractions of pounds to decimal equivalents (ex. 6 lbs 8oz = 6.5 lbs).
10. Calculate production using following formula:
1440 min. x wt. of ice produced
Total test time in minutes
11. Calculated amount per 24 hours should be checked against rated capacity for same ambient and water
temperatures in Ice Production Tables.
