General Information

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 ICE-O-Matic ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failure, and may void all warranties.

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: -20°F (-28.9°C) to 120°F (48.9°C)

Condenser Airflow: Condensers must have a vertical airflow.

Limitations for new remote machines that have the headmaster mounted in the condenser.

Maximum Rise is 35 feet.

 

 

 

Maximum Drop is 15 feet.

 

 

 

 

 

Airflow

Maximum equivalent run is 100 feet.

 

 

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 ice machine or condenser for compatibility. For more information contact your ICE-O-Matic Distributor.

34 ft. horizontal

10 ft. drop x 6.6 + 34 ft horizontal = 100 equivalent feet line run

10 ft. drop
