EF and EMF Series | Remote Condenser Guidelines |
Remote Condenser Installation
The EMF1106R2 and EMF2306R2 remote ice makers incorporate the mixing valve in the condenser. This configuration allows up to a 100 foot calculated remote line set run. Reference the diagram below to calculate the maximum 100 foot line set run.
For proper operation of the
Remote condensers must be installed per local building codes. A two to four inch diameter roof penetration will be needed for refrigerant lines and electrical conduit. The penetration should be within two feet of where the condenser will be located. A roof jack must be installed at the penetration.
Installation Guidelines
Ambient operating temperatures:
Condenser Airflow: Condensers must have a vertical airflow.

Formula for figuring maximum equivalent run is as follows:
Rise x 1.7 + Drop x 6.6 + horizontal run = equivalent run.
Examples: 35 ft. rise x 1.7 + 40 ft. horizontal = 99.5 equivalent feet line run
35 ft. rise
40 ft. horizontal
Verify the ICE machine is compatible with the remote condenser. Some ice machines and some remote condensers may or may not have a Mixing Valve (Head Master). Only one valve is required per system. Kits are available to modify the condenser for compatibility. For more information contact your
