5)Disconnect the Vacuum Pump, and attach a Refrigerant Service Cylinder to the High- side line. Remember to loosen the connection, and purge the air from the Hose. For water-cooled models, see the Nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, see the Charge Label in the machine compartment. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.

6)A liquid charge is recommended for charging an R-404A system. Invert the service cylinder. Open the High-side, Service Manifold Valve.

7)Allow the system to charge with liquid until the pressures balance.

8)If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the Low-side. Use a throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through the Low-side access port with the unit running.

9)Close the two Refrigerant Access Valves, and disconnect the Hoses and Service Mani- fold.

10) Cap the Access Valves to prevent a possible leak.

DANGER

1.Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176° F.

2.Refrigerant R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames) R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.

3.Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.

4.Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing Arsenic.

5.Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing. Refrigerant leaks can be detected by charging the unit with a little refrigerant, raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak detector.

Note: All brazing-connections inside the Evaporator Case are clear-paint coated. Sandpaper the brazing connections before unbrazing the components. Use a good abrasive cloth to remove coating.

KM-2000SWH3, KM-2000SRF3, KM-2000SRH3, KM2000SWF3 specifications

The Hoshizaki KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 are two of the latest innovations in the world of ice-making machines, designed for high-demand commercial settings where reliability and efficiency are key. Known for their durability and performance, these machines are ideal for restaurants, bars, hotels, and other businesses that require a steady supply of ice.

One of the standout features of the KM-2000 series is its production capability. Both models are designed to produce a staggering amount of ice—approximately 2,000 pounds per day. This high output ensures that establishments are never left wanting, meeting the needs of peak service hours without interruption.

Hoshizaki has integrated advanced technologies into these machines to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime. The KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 come equipped with a reliable, self-contained refrigerant system that operates efficiently even in warmer environments. This is particularly important for businesses located in hotter climates, as it ensures that ice production remains consistent throughout the year.

Another notable technology included in both models is the unique crescent-shaped ice that they produce. This type of ice is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers several functional advantages. The crescent shape allows for excellent cooling properties, making it perfect for drinks, while its hardness and density facilitate longer melting times, ensuring that beverages stay chilled for longer periods.

Additionally, Hoshizaki has incorporated a cleaning and sanitizing system in the KM-2000 series, ensuring that the ice produced is safe and hygienic. This built-in feature is crucial for maintaining health and safety standards in food service operations, reducing the need for manual cleaning and increasing operational efficiency.

In terms of design, both the KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 boast a compact footprint, making them suitable for spaces where size is a constraint. Their stainless steel construction not only adds to their durability but also enhances their visual appeal, fitting seamlessly into any commercial kitchen or bar environment.

Overall, the Hoshizaki KM-2000SRH3 and KM-2000SWH3 ice machines represent a convergence of efficiency, technology, and user-friendly design, making them a top choice for businesses that rely heavily on ice as a part of their service offerings. With their high production capabilities, advanced features, and commitment to quality, these models deliver reliable performance that operators can depend on day in and day out.
