9)Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. For air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge.

10)Attach the expansion valve bulb to the suction line in the same location as the previous bulb. The bulb should be at the 12 o'clock position on the tube. Be sure to secure the bulb with the clamp and holder and to insulate it.

11)Place the expansion valve cover in position.

12)Replace the panels in their correct positions.

13)Turn on the power supply.

7. EVAPORATOR

1)Turn off the power supply.

2)Remove the panels and the front and top insulation.

3)Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container.

4)Remove the spray tubes. Remove the insulation at the "U" shaped notch where the refrigeration tubing passes through the molded chassis.

5)Disconnect the evaporator tubing.

6)Remove the pop rivets securing the evaporator, then lift out the evaporator.

7)Install the new evaporator.

8)Remove the drier, then place the new drier in position.

9)Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 20 to 30 kPa.

10)Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (970 kPa). DO NOT use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.

11)Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. For air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge.

12)Replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed.

13)Replace the insulation and the panels in their correct positions.

KMD-410MWH, KMD-410MAH specifications

The Hoshizaki KMD-410MWH and KMD-410MAH are premier ice makers, designed for commercial establishments that require high-efficiency ice production. These units stand out for their advanced features and technology that cater to the diverse needs of restaurants, bars, and hotels.

One of the primary features of the KMD-410 lineup is its impressive ice production capacity. With a production rate of up to 410 pounds of cube ice in a 24-hour period, each model ensures a steady supply of ice, which is essential for businesses with high demand. The ice produced is in the form of clear, hard cubes, ideal for beverage cooling, cocktail preparation, and food presentation.

Both models showcase the unique Hoshizaki ice-making system, which employs a direct cooling method. This technology uses individual stainless steel evaporators to produce ice, resulting in more uniform cubes and less waste. The stainless steel construction contributes to the durability of the units, making them suitable for rugged commercial environments.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the KMD-410MWH and KMD-410MAH. These machines are designed with an energy-saving mode that reduces power consumption without compromising ice production. This is critical for businesses looking to minimize operational costs while maintaining high standards of service.

User convenience is prioritized in these models through features like the easy-to-clean design. The internal components can be accessed quickly, allowing for simpler maintenance and sanitation processes. Additionally, the built-in cleaning cycle aids in maintaining ice purity and preventing bacterial growth, which is essential for food safety.

The KMD-410MAH also includes an advanced monitoring system with indicators for water usage and ice levels. This feature allows operators to keep track of performance and make necessary adjustments, ensuring that the ice maker operates at peak efficiency.

For installation flexibility, both models can be paired with various storage bins and dispensers, adapting to the layout of any establishment. Furthermore, they can be equipped with optional filtration systems that enhance water quality, further improving the taste and clarity of the ice produced.

In summary, the Hoshizaki KMD-410MWH and KMD-410MAH ice makers are exemplary choices for any business that demands high-quality, reliable ice production. Their robust features, energy-efficient operation, and user-friendly design make them indispensable assets in the hospitality and foodservice industries.
