5. Using the information gathered, refer to the chart
below.
A head pressure control valve that will not
NOTE:
bypass, will function properly with condenser air
temperatures of approximately 70°F (21°C) or above.
When the temperature drops below 70°F (21°C), the
head pressure control valve fails to bypass and the ice
machine malfunctions. Lower ambient conditions can
be simulated by rinsing the condenser with cool water
during the freeze cycle.
