Section 7 Refrigeration System

REFRIGERANT RE-USE POLICY

Manitowoc recognizes and supports the need for proper handling, re-use, and disposal of, CFC and HCFC refrigerants. Manitowoc service procedures require recapturing refrigerants, not venting them to the atmosphere.

It is not necessary, in or out of warranty, to reduce or compromise the quality and reliability of your customers’ products to achieve this.

Important

Manitowoc Ice, Inc. assumes no responsibility for use of contaminated refrigerant. Damage resulting from the use of contaminated, recovered, or recycled refrigerant is the sole responsibility of the servicing company.

Manitowoc approves the use of:

1.New Refrigerant

•Must be of original nameplate type.

2.Reclaimed Refrigerant

•Must be of original nameplate type.

•Must meet ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) specifications.

3.Recovered or Recycled Refrigerant

•Must be recovered or recycled in accordance with current local, state and federal laws.

•Must be recovered from and re-used in the same Manitowoc product. Re-use of recovered or recycled refrigerant from other products is not approved.

•Recycling equipment must be certified to ARI Standard 740 (latest edition) and be maintained to consistently meet this standard.

•Recovered refrigerant must come from a “contaminant-free” system. To decide whether the system is contaminant free, consider:

–Type(s) of previous failure(s)

–Whether the system was cleaned, evacuated and recharged properly following failure(s)

–Whether the system has been contaminated by this failure

–Compressor motor burnouts and improper past service prevent refrigerant re-use.

–Refer to “System Contamination Cleanup” to test for contamination.

4.“Substitute” or “Alternative” Refrigerant

•Manitowoc Flake/Chiplet ice machines use R404A refrigerant. Substitute refrigerants are not approved for use in Flake/Chiplet ice machines.
