Some Tips For Installing A Newly Purchased Ice Machine.

Some tips for installing a newly purchased ice machine.

The ice machine should be installed in a well-ventilated place without direct sunlight.

The minimum ventilation distance of the ice machine condenser is more than 1 meter from the shelter, and the height is at least 50 cm from the roof. The advantage is that the ventilation distance should be larger, and the air must be kept flowing. The installation ground should be kept level, otherwise the machine running will cause the water in the storage box to affect the quality of ice produced.

After installation, first check the integrity of the appearance of the machine, whether the ice drop channel is smooth, whether the fan blades rotate flexibly, whether the shut-off valves of the unit are fully open, whether there is oil stains on the welding joints of the unit, and whether the compressor is short of oil. Remind everyone that oil is closely related to the life of the compressor, and you should always check the oil level and color of the oil.

Connect the water source and check whether the water pressure is normal. If the water pressure is too low, the machine will cause non-stop alarms. It is recommended to use a water storage tank and a booster pump if the water is often cut off. The water level of the water inlet tank should be about 10 mm lower than the overflow port, and the water level can be adjusted by the float ball. Also don't forget to check the voltage, the ice machine has its own single water valve and power supply which is very convenient for future maintenance.

Do not make ice immediately after the ice machine is powered on, first let the crankcase heater press the oil to heat up, and then let the unit run, here you need to listen to the sound of the unit running, and check the evaporator for freezing, some ice machines need to add salt water Yes, it is generally suitable to add more than 200 grams of salt to a 30kg barrel, and at the same time, check whether the water level of the water separator is normal.

Recently, some friends have reported that excessive water pressure may cause water to escape while the ice machine is making ice. At this time, it is necessary to close the water valve in front of the water separator.

After the unit is running normally, we need to test some protection functions of the unit.

Water shortage protection. When the machine is stopped, under normal circumstances, the unit can be stopped by blocking the switch for three minutes. At present, the ice machine stops the press first, and then stops the ice blade after two minutes, which is conducive to the next start-up, and scrapes all the ice in the entire ice bucket to facilitate the thickness of the ice in the next start-up.

After the above steps are completed, the ice machine can operate normally! Of course, the usual maintenance and maintenance should not be ignored.
