Refrigeration System - Follett C/E25CI425A Installation, Operation And Service Manual

Refrigeration system

Important: All service on refrigeration system must be performed in accordance with all federal, state and local
laws that pertain to the use of refrigerants. It is the responsibility of the technician to ensure that these requirements
are met.

§ Recharging of unit at other than factory specifications will void ice machine warranty.
Refrigerant replacement requirements
1. Non-contaminated refrigerant removed from any Follett refrigeration system can be recycled and returned
to the same system after completing repairs. Recycled refrigerant must be stored in a clean, approved
storage container. If additional refrigerant is required, virgin or reclaimed refrigerant that meets ARI
standard 700-88 must be used.
2. In the event of system contamination (for example, a compressor burn out, refrigerant leak, presence of
non-condensibles or moisture), the system must be repaired, evacuated and recharged using virgin or
reclaimed refrigerant that meets ARI standard 700-88.
3. Follett Corporation does not approve of recovered refrigerants. Improper refrigeration servicing procedures
will void the factory warranty.
Evacuation
Evacuate the system to a level of 500 microns. When the 500 micron level is reached, close valves and both
manifold and shut down the vacuum pump. Allow the system to sit for approximately 20 minutes. During this period
the system pressure should not rise. If the system pressure rises and stabilizes there is moisture in the system and
further evacuation is needed. If the pressure continues to rise check the system for leaks.
Ice capacity test
Ice machine production capacity can only be determined by weighing ice produced in a specific time period.
1. Remove top panel and hopper lid of unit.
2. Weigh and record weight of container used to catch ice.
3. Run ice machine for at least 15 minutes.
4. Catch ice for 15 or 20 minutes.
5. Weigh harvested ice and record total weight.
6. Subtract weight of container from total weight.
7. Convert fractions of pounds to decimal equivalents (Ex. 6 lbs 8 oz = 6.5 lbs).
8. Calculate production using following formula:
1440 min. x wt. of ice produced
Total test time in minutes
9. Calculated amount per 24 hours should be checked against rated capacity for same ambient and
water temperatures in Ice Production Table (see page 23).
