b) Connection to a Closed Loop System
•Condenser water supply inlet is 1/2" female pipe thread (FPT). A minimum of 1/4" nominal
ID copper water tubing or equivalent is required for the condenser water supply line.
•Condenser return outlet is 3/8" FPT. A minimum of 1/4" nominal ID copper water tubing or equivalent is required for the condenser return line.
•
•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 drain 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 drain outlet temperature 5 minutes after a freeze cycle starts. If the condenser drain 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).
