B) Connection To A Closed Loop System - Hoshizaki KM-1400SWH/3-M Instruction Manual

b) Connection to a Closed Loop System

• Condenser water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT). A minimum of 3/8" nominal
copper water tubing is recommended for the condenser water supply line.
• Condenser return outlet is 3/8" FPT. A minimum of 3/8" nominal copper water tubing is
recommended for the condenser return line.
• Shut-off valves and drain valves should be installed at both the condenser water supply
inlet and condenser return outlet.
• The water supply to the condenser should not drop below 4 GPM.
• The pressure differential between the condenser water supply inlet and condenser return
outlet must be no less than 10 PSIG.
• When using a glycol blend, the solution mixture should be less than 30% glycol.
• In order to maintain the proper high side pressure, the condenser water supply inlet
temperature should not drop below 45°F (7°C) and the condenser return outlet
temperature must be in the 104°F to 115°F (40°C to 46°C) range. Once the icemaker
installation is complete, confirm the condenser return outlet temperature 5 minutes after a
freeze cycle starts. If the condenser return outlet temperature is not in the proper range,
use a flat blade screwdriver to rotate the adjustment screw on the water-regulating valve
until the temperature is in the proper range (rotate counterclockwise to raise temperature
or clockwise to lower temperature).
