There are 2 processes in which heat is removed from water, causing it to freeze:

 

• Air-cooled condenser

  • Uses the surrounding air to remove the heat from the refrigerant

    • Proper ventilation is necessary

    • Space on both sides of the ice machine is required

    • Surrounding air temperature should be 45 – 80 degrees

 

 

 

• Water-cooled condenser (restrictive codes may apply)

  • Uses water to remove the heat from refrigerant

    • Higher water usage

    • Machine can be placed in small confined areas

    • Less maintenance
