Field Installation
Safety Information and Guidelines
Only qualified service technicians should
attempt to install, service, or maintain the Ice
Flaker.
Make sure all power sources are disconnected
before any service work is done to the Ice
Flaker.
All field wiring must conform to the
requirements of the equipment and all
applicable local codes and national codes.
Any liquid line solenoid valve installed at the
rack should allow backwards flow in the event
of liquid trapping between the valve and the ice
flaker.
Inspection
Upon receipt, check all items against the bill of
lading to make sure all crates and cartons are
accounted for.
Any shortage or damages should be reported to
the delivering carrier. Damaged material
becomes the delivering carrier’s responsibility
and should not be returned to the
manufacturer unless prior approval is given.
Take care not to damage equipment when
uncrating.
Piping
The Ice Flaker has been thoroughly cleaned and
dehydrated at the factory. However, foreign
matter may enter the system by way of the
piping to the RPCP. Therefore, care must be
used during installation of the piping to prevent
entrance of foreign matter.
Install all refrigeration system components in
accordance with applicable local and national
codes and in conformance with good practice
required for the proper operation of the Ice
Flaker.
The refrigerant pipe size should be selected
from the Piping Table. The interconnecting pipe
size is not necessarily the same as the stub-out
on the Rack or the Ice Flaker.
The following procedures should be followed:
1. Do not leave units or piping open to the
atmosphere any longer than is
absolutely necessary.
2. Use only refrigeration grade copper
tubing, properly sealed against
contamination.
3. Suction lines should slope 1/4" per 10
feet towards the compressor.
4. Refer to the Suggested Refrigerant
Piping Diagram (p.6) for suitable P-type
oil trap locations to enhance oil return
to the compressor.
5. When brazing refrigerant lines, Dry
Nitrogen should be passed through the
line at low pressure to prevent scaling
and oxidation inside the tubing.
6. Use only a suitable silver solder alloy on
suction and liquid lines.
