Part Number Preliminary 6/11 267
Harvest Cycle
REMOTE CONDENSER
The head pressure control cycles into full bypass due
to the pressure drop when the harvest valve opens.
Refrigerant flows from the compressor to the
evaporator through the harvest valve and the head
pressure valve is out of the circuit.
QUIETQUBE ® REMOTE CONDENSING UNIT
QuietQube® ice machines may fail in the harvest cycle
when the refrigerant charge and ambient temperature
create a marginal undercharge of refrigerant. The ice
machine may be able to make a full sheet of ice, but
fails in the harvest cycle when the receiver runs out of
liquid refrigerant. A safety limit #2 will result when the
ice machine is unable to harvest.
Undercharge Symptoms
• Safety limit #1 or Safety limit #2 in control board
memory.
• Harvest cycle suction pressure is low.
• Harvest cycle discharge pressure is low.
• Liquid line entering receiver feels warm to hot in
the freeze cycle.
Overcharge Symptoms
• Safety limit #2 in control board memory.
• Harvest cycle suction pressure is low.
• Harvest cycle discharge pressure is normal.
• Freeze cycle time, suction and discharge pressure
are normal and the ice machine will not harvest.
The sheet of ice cubes show little or no sign of
melting when removed from the evaporator after
the harvest cycle has been completed. (If the
cubes are melted you have a release problem,
clean the ice machine).
