Harvest Sequence
5. Water Purge
The water pump continues to run, and the water dump
valve energizes for 45 seconds to purge the water in
the sump trough. The water fill valve energizes for the
last 15 seconds of the 45-second water purge.
After the 45-second water purge, the water fill valve,
water pump and dump valve de-energize. (Refer to
“Water Purge Adjustment” for details.)
The cool vapor solenoid valve also opens at the
beginning of the water purge to divert refrigerant gas
into the evaporator.
When the refrigerant pressure is low enough to open
the fan cycling pressure control,* the condenser fan
motor stops.
*The Q0600C ice machine does not use a fan cycle control;
therefore the condenser fan motor will continue to run in the
Harvest cycle.
6. Harvest
The cool vapor solenoid valve remains open and the
refrigerant gas warms the evaporator causing the
cubes to slide as a sheet, off the evaporator and into
the storage bin. The sliding sheet of cubes swings the
water curtain out, opening the bin switch.
The momentary opening and reclosing of the bin
switch terminates the Harvest sequence and returns
the ice machine to the Freeze sequence (steps 3-4).
