Remote Condenser | General Information |
The VRC remote condensers 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.
Limitations for new remote machines that have the mixing valve mounted in the condenser.
Maximum Rise is 35 feet.
Maximum Drop is 15 feet.
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
40 ft. horizontal
35 ft. rise
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 remote condenser for compatibility. For more information contact your
34 ft. horizontal
10 ft. drop
10 ft. drop x 6.6 + 34 ft horizontal = 100 equivalent feet line run
