54 Part Number 040005626 5/17Ice Production CheckThe amount of ice a machine produces directly relates to theoperating water and air temperatures. This means an icemachine with a 70°F (21°C) ambient temperature and 50°F(10°C) water produces more ice than the same ice machinewith 90°F (32°C) ambient and 70°F (21°C) water.1. Determine the ice machine operating conditions:Air temp entering condenser: ____°Air temp around ice machine: ____°Water temp entering sump trough: ____°2. Refer to the appropriate 24-Hour Ice Production Chart.Use the operating conditions determined in Step 1 tofind published 24 hr. ice production:____Times are in minutes.Example: 1 min., 15 sec. converts to 1.25 min.(15 seconds ÷ 60 seconds = .25 minutes)Weights are in pounds.Example: 2 lb., 6 oz. converts to 2.375 lb.(6 oz. ÷16 oz. = .375 lb.)3. Perform an ice production check using the formulabelow.Weighing the ice is the only 100% accurate check.4. Compare the results of step 3 with step 2. Ice productionis normal when these numbers match closely. If theymatch closely, determine if:Another larger ice machine is required.Relocating the existing equipment to lower the loadconditions is required.Contact the local distributor for information on availableoptions and accessories.1. _______ + _______ = _______Freeze Time Harvest Time Total Cycle Time2. 1440 ÷ _______ = _______Mins in 24 hrs Total Cycle Time Cycles Per Day3. _______ x _______ = _______Weight of One Cycles Per Day Actual 24 HrHarvest Production
