4. Straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
Straighten Bent Condenser Fins
5. Carefully wipe off the fan blades and motor with a
soft cloth. Do not bend the fan blades. If the fan
blades are excessively dirty, wash with warm, soapy
water and rinse thoroughly.
Water-Cooled Condenser
and Water Regulating Valve
Symptoms of restrictions in the condenser water circuit
include:
• Low ice production
• High water consumption
• High operating temperatures
• High operating pressures
If the ice machine is experiencing any of these symptoms,
the water-cooled condenser and water regulating valve
may require cleaning due to scale build-up.
Because the cleaning procedures require special pumps
and cleaning solutions, qualified maintenance or service
personnel must perform them.
AlphaSan
The goal of AlphaSan is to keep the plastic surfaces of
an ice machine cleaner, by reducing or delaying the
formation of bio-film. The active ingredient in AlphaSan
is the element silver in the form of silver ions (Ag+).
AlphaSan slowly releases silver ions via an ion
exchange mechanism. When AlphaSan is compounded
directly into a plastic part, a controlled release of silver
ions from the surface is regulated to maintain an
effective concentration at or near the surface of the
plastic ice machine part. AlphaSan’s unique ability to
effectively control the release of silver not only protects
against undesired discoloration of the plastic, but also
will last the life of the plastic part. Although AlphaSan
helps prevent bio-film build up it does not eliminate the
need for periodic cleaning and maintenance. AlphaSan
has no adverse effect on the taste of the ice or
beverage.
! Caution
If you are cleaning the condenser fan blades with
water, cover the fan motor to prevent water damage
and disconnect electrical power.
