FOREWORD

The "MAR" ice makers make flake ice of "scale" type which is flat, hard dry and sub-cooled, giving to it an exceptional staying power for multiple chilling operations.

The design simplicity accounts for the confidence in MAR scale ice machines. Their ice making system has only one sealed moving part, resulting in a minimum of maintenance operations for continuous reliable machine service.

Ice is discharges through a large opening on the back of unit cabinet, when mounted on top of the refrigerated room, ice is gravity fed to storage area.

Rugged, solid, heavy duty, the stainless steel

MAR cabinet has removable panels that facilitate the accessibility to mechanical and electrical parts. A console panel with lights monitoring water flow pressure, and temperature operating refrigerant pressure and motors overloading foreworn the system malfunction before becoming major trouble.

We suggest you to take time now to read this manual which contains a lot of valuable informations on the MAR ice making system.

If you have any further queries regarding the care or operation of the machine, please contact:

SECTION I

GENERAL INFORMATION & INSTALLATION

1. DESCRIPTION

An attractive compact cabinet of stainless steel with control panel lights on the front. All panels are removable to allow easy access to electrical and mechanical components for cleaning and maintenance.

Sealed Refrigeration System

To provide quite efficient operation of the ice maker, the compressor is mounted on rubber cushions. The water cooled models have a tube within tube condenser with water regulation valve for correct condensing water flow. The air cooled models, except the MAR 305 have a built in condenser in copper and aluminium with the fan motor controlled by pressure control. The evaporator drum is powered by a separate drive motor connected by a V-belt and pulley system to a double gear box. The refrigerant used is R 404a controlled by automatic expansion valve.

Storage Bin or Ice Room

Since the MAR Flaker is a continuous flow type ice maker and does not have its own attached storage bin, it is necessary to use an auxiliary bin or a pre-fabricated ice room for appropriate ice storage.

Ice storage situations are of two kinds: a) Short term storage b) Extended terms storage

Being, as stated, scale ice made by MAR machines flat, dry and subcooled, therefore with the tendency to stick toghether, particular attention is required for proper ice storage conditions for better ice handling. An insulated ice storage bin or rooms is always required, then according to ice end use application, this can be refrigerated on non-refrigerated.

Also a weight volume ratio of 2,1 cu. mt. per

ton, must be taken into consideration for correct ice storage.

a) Non-refrigerated room for short term

storage.

The scale ice is produced continuously for 24 hours per day, whereas the use period is generally for no longer than 8 hours per day.

Therefore storage facilities should be provided to accomodate a minimum of 16 hours of production, this means that every scale ice machine must be installed with a properly insulated storage room which should have a minimum capacity of 2/3 the daily ice production.

With a well insulated room and duly subcooled scale ice, the limited losses of heat throught the walls of a properly designed room with adequate arrangements, are largely offset, and excess melting will not occur. In most situations where whole quantity of ice produced is being used on a daily basis, it is not necessary to provide cooling for the ice storage room.

b) Refrigerated room for extended storage

and long distance conveying.

When scale ice is to be transported at a considerable distance, such as aboard fishing vessels, or in locations with normal ambient temperatures conditions, or when used in industrial plants where demand is intermittent, its subcooling power must be absolutely preserved in the storage bin by a proper cooling system keeping air temperature at a pre-established and constant value. The ideal ice storage room is the type with mechanically refrigerated jacket space surrounding the ice bin. Good practice calls for an ice storage capacity of about two times the daily ice machines production with an inside temperature of -6

C minimum (20

F).

2. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

1. Call your authorized SCOTSMAN Distributor od Dealer for proper installation.

2. Visually inspect the exterior of the shipping container and skid and any severe damage noted should be reported to the delivering carrier; and a concealed damage claim filled subject to internal inspection, with carrier representative present.

3. Remove the packing and remove the shipping bolts and the shipping base or skid.

4. When necessary, install the leg levellers in the cabinet base sockets; then, raise the cabinet to the upright position.

5. Remove screws and shipping tapes and all doors and service panels from the cabinet and inspect for any concealed damage.

Notify carrier of any concealed damage claims as stated in step 2 above.

6. Remove all internal support packing, tape and wires in machinery compartment.

7. Check that refrigerant lines do not rub or touch lines or surfaces and that fan blades, if any, moves freely.

8. Check that compressor is snug on all mounting pads.

9. Use clean damp cloth or disposable paper wiper to wipe clean the exterior surface of the cabinet.

Page 11

10. See DATAPLATE on the cabinet base and check that the location source voltage corresponds with the voltage specified on the dataplate.

CAUTION - Unproper voltage supplied to the icemaker will void your parts replacement program.

11. Remove the Manufacturer's registration Card from its envelope and fill in all spaces including: Model Number and serial Number taken from the aluminium plate located on the front of the Chassis base, with Front

Panel removed.

3. LOCATION AND LEVELLING

WARNING - The MAR Flakers are NOT designed for outdoors installation where air temperature are below 5

C (40

F) or above 40

C (100

F) and the water temperature is below 5

C (40

F) or above 40

(100

F).

Extended periods of operation at temperatures exceeding these limitations will constitute misuse, under the terms of the SCOTSMAN Manufacturer's limited warranty coverage.

1. Stands - A special stands should be built if the machine is located beside the bin.

Care should be exercised in making the stand strong enough to support the weight.

In designing the stand plan for the servicing of the machine from front, top and sides.

It is also possible to locate the machine on top of the bin. Care should be used in selecting a bin that has been specially reinforced.

Standard bins are usually not sufficiently reinforced for this purpose. An unsteady platform will cause excessive vibration.

Specially built bins can provide proper support and allow for a servicing platform.

WARNING - Air Cooled version of MAR

75, MAR 105, MAR 125 and MAR 205 have the condensing air exhaust throughout the lower rear area (ice spout side) therefore it is necessary to avoid to position the ice maker with the rear side against any sort of wall that will prevent proper warm air dissipation.They must have on their rear side an air gap of 200 m/ m. MAR 55 has the air cooled condenser on the right side while MAR 305 has a separate remote air cooled condenser. (See instructions for remote condenser at 6).

2. Erection - For elevations in excess of four feet or in close quarters, chain falls of fork lift truck should be used. For location under four feet, the use of skid boards and rollers is practical.

3. Machine Site - When selecting the permanent location of air cooled machines, consideration must be given to volume size of the room and to ventilation facilities for easy heat removal around the machine.

In doing this it worths to take on account that:

– MAR 55 AS - has a condenser heat rejection of 3000 Kcal/hr and fan motor draws air for

1200 m 3 /h.

– MAR 75 AS - has a condenser heat rejection of 4900 Kcal/hr and fan motor draws air for

1200 m 3 /h.

– MAR 105 AS - has a condenser heat rejection of 7500 Kcal/hr and the two fan motors draw air for 1200 m 3 /h each.

– MAR 125 AS - has a condenser heat rejection of 9750 Kcal/hr and the two fan motors draw air for 1200 m 3 /h each.

– MAR 205 AS - has a condenser heat rejection of 11000 Kcal/hr and the two fan motors draw air for 2000 m 3 /h each.

– MAR 305 AS - has a condenser heat rejection of 16200 Kcal/hr and the four fan motor draw air for 1200 m

/h each correspondind to

4800 m 3 /h in total.

4. Position the MAR in the selected permanent location level the cabinet on both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions. The levelling legs can be adjusted with an opened wrench.

(See unit layout and dimensions at page 20).

Page 12

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The machine has been wired ready for electric connections. See nameplate for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical hook-up. The MAR flaker requires a solid earth ground wire. See wiring diagram.

Be certain the unit is connected to its own electrical circuit and individually fused.

The maximum allowable voltage variation, should not exceed ten percent of the nameplate rating, even under starting conditions.

Low voltages can cause erratic operation and may be responsible for serious damage to the overload switch and motor windings.

All external wiring should conform to the National,

State and local electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician will be required.

WARNING - The compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater which has to be energized even when the ice maker is switched-off. So, make sure to connect the unit with the compressor crankcase heater constantly energized. After long inoperative periods remember to give current to the heater 4 hours before the ice-maker start-up.

Fuse protection of the unit should be made as follows:

MAR 55-75-105-125 - 3x16 Amps/400V

MAR 205 - 3x24 Amps/400V

MAR 305 - 3x32 Amps/400V

WARNING - The evaporator drum drive motor is threephase so, at the unit startup, care must be taken to ensure of the correct rotation direction of drum. In case of wrong roration interchange the phases by interchanging the lead wire connections of main cord.

5. WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN

CONNECTIONS

Separate water supplies are recommended.

A. Evaporator or ice making supply water should be run through a hand shut-off valve before entering unit. Evaporator supply water connection has a 3/4" male pipe fitting. This line also has factory installed water strainer internally mounted. Incoming water goes through the float reservoir and then to the drum reservoir.

Connect to a good cold water supply with minimum 1/2 O.D. line. A check valve on this line will be required in some cases depending on local plumbing codes. The recommended minimum water pressure is 1 bar (14 Psi). Do not operate this unit with fresh water supply below 1 bar (14 Psi). Maximum water pressure

5 bar (70 Psi).

B. The condenser water supply line connects to the following fitting sizes:

MAR 55 - 75 3/4" gas male

MAR 105 - 125 12 mm O.D. fitting

MAR 205

MAR 305

20 mm 0.D. fitting

25 mm

Water supply line size must be adequate to water flow which, at 15

C temperature water, is:

225 lt/hr for MAR 55

300 lt/hr for MAR 75

480 lt/hr for MAR 105

lt/hr for MAR 125

1200 lt/hr for MAR 205

1600 lt/hr for MAR 305

Incoming water goes throughout the water regulating valve first and then to the water cooled condenser. Observe arrow on water regulating valve. Water supply must be installed to conform with local code. In some case a licensed plumber and/or a plumbing permit will be required.

Water Quality

Water quality is a factor of extreme importance for good operation of MAR machine. Water shouldn't be too hard neither too soft.

Hard water will tend to create mineral deposits in water reservoir, evaporator drum and scraping blade, rendering rough the chute surface which prevents ice scales from sliding properly into ice channel.

On the contrary, water too soft, (de-mineralized) will cause the ice skin to stick excessively on drum surface rendering difficult the scraping operation of same.

The ideal water should have a total hardness of about 15-20 french degrees.

Precaution Against Water Frost

Like for any other ice maker all necessary measures must be taken when the cold season is approaching to protect the water supply line and the MAR water system against winter freezing. If cooling tower is used several precautions should be observed, too.

1 .

Leave water regulating valve in the system.

2. Separate the make-up water for the reservoir from the tower water.

3. Use 3/4" tower water lines or larger, depending on the lenght of run. Over 30 feet, use 1" O.D.

lines.

4. NOTICE: a cooling tower can freeze in the winter time and the MAR flaker will be in operation 12 months per year. An indoor tower and pump can be used with outdoors air ducted in and out if the fan cycles on water temperature to prevent freezing. An indoor sump can be used. An auxiliary tower and city-water hook-up will prove satisfactorily in some climates. Fresh water in the winter and tower water during the summer. Consult your tower and pump manufacturers for proper sizing. In no event should less than a Nominal 3 to 4 tons tower, or less than 3/4 HP high pressure tower, or less than 3/4 HP high pressure tower pump be used.

C. Drain (When not re-used).

The recommenden tubes for the condenser waste line are:

- MAR 55-75 - 3/4" GAS female fitting.

- MAR 105-125 - 12 mm I.D.

- MAR 205-305 - 25 mm I.D.

Page 13

Water drip tray drain line is 21 m/m I.D. Tube to be connected with clamp to a 21 m/m hose barbed fitting for all models.

Waste water line must run to an open trapped vented drain. If drain is a long run, allow a pitch of 3 cm per meter.

Location Limits - condenser location must not exceed ANY of the following limits:

• Maximum rise from the ice machine to the condenser is 3 physical meters

• Maximum drop from the ice machine to the condenser is 1 physical meter

• Physical line set maximum length is 6 meters

• Line set length maximum is 9 meters.

Calculation Formula:

• Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in meters)

• Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in meters)

• Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in meters)

• Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal

Run = dd+rd+hd = Calculated Line Length.

Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive prior written authorization from Scotsman.

Do NOT:

• Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises.

• Route a line set that falls, then rises, then falls.

Calculation Example 1:

The condenser is to be located 0.9 meter below the ice machine and then 3 meters away horizontally.

0.9 mt x 6.6 = 5.94 + 3 = 8.94. This location would be acceptable.

Calculation Example 2:

The condenser is to be located 4 meters above and then 3 meters away horizontally.

4 x 1.7 = 6.8 6.8+3 = 9.8. 9.8 is greater than the 9 maximum and is NOT acceptable.

Operating a machine with an unacceptable configurationg will void the refrigeration system warranty.

In a crate, separated by the unit crate are packed:

1. The air-cooled condenser mounted on the platform base with the electrical junction box, condenser shround, fan motors, fan protection grid, fan motor speed, control and the refrigerant lines connection couplings.

2. One set of pre-charged refrigerant line with connection couplings on both ends of following variety. Liquid I.D. 12 m/m - Gas I.D. 22 m/m

- 6 mts length.

The pre-charged refrigerant lines, 6 meters long, are equipped with self-sealing coupling connections and can be connected or disconnect few times without loosing the refrigerant charge.

The electric cord line, approx. 6 meters long, located on the left side of the unit has to be connected to the condenser junction box terminals.

The condenser fan motors are originally wired for

230 V single phase and have the following specifications:

RPM 1300 (1559)

WATTS 4x70

AMPS 4x0,7

They operate at 230 V 50 Hz and are controlled by two pressure controls which are connected to the system high side.

The fan controls are set to cut-out and cut-in the fan motor so as to maintain the Hi pressure between 15 and 17 bar.

A. Location consideration:

1. Limit to 6 meters the lenght of the precharged refrigerant lines from the ice-maker to the remote condenser.

2. Maximum vertical rise of 3 meters between the ice maker and the remote condenser.

3. Best available location, protected from the extremes of dirt, dust, rain, sun and wind.

B. Unpacking and inspection:

1. Visually inspect the exterior of the shipping container and any severe damage noted, should be reported to delivering carrier; and a concealed damage claim filled subject to internal inspection with carrier representative present.

2. Uncrate the remote condenser and precharged refrigerant lines and inspect for any concealed damage claims, as stated in step 1 above.

3. Check that the pre-charged refrigerant lines are intact, not kinked, and that there is no sealed puncture or loss or refrigerant.

C. Remote condenser - Wall attachment

1. Install and attach the remote condenser to the wall of the building, using the methods and practices of building standards that conforms to and meets the local building code requirements in your area.

Page 14

2. Removal junction box cover from remote condenser and connect the electrical power lines coming from the unit to the wires of the fan motors by means of the connecting terminal board placed into the junction box following the wires color fitted on the same.

D. Pre-charged refrigerant lines

1. The set of pre-charged refrigerant lines consists of a self-sealing liquid line and a selfsealing discharge line.

One coupling on each line is fitted with a

Schrader valve, which provides the servicemen with access for refrigerant evacuation through tubes, refrigerant charging and service gauges application when necessary.

2. When possible, route the maximum lenght of the pre-charged refrigerant lines inside the building, with the minimum lenght outside, to prevent vandalism and to minimize the condenser effect that exposed lines can produce in cold weather.

Insulate lines that be exposed to outside temperatures that will be below freezing, for extended periods of time.

CAUTION - Each coupling on the set of pre-charged refrigerant lines, the refrigerant fittings on the remote condenser and on the icemaker chassis are self-sealing and should be tightened

1/4 turn more than snug tight.

ALWAYS USE TWO WRENCHES WHEN

TIGHTENING THESE FITTINGS ONE AS A

BACKUP WRENCH TO PREVENT

TWISTING OF TUBING AND POSSIBLE

KINKING OR LINE RUPTURE.

3. Spiral the excess lenght of the precharged refrigerant lines in the best selected inside location and in a manner that prevents refrigerant trapping.

CAUTION - DO NOT kink or crimp the refrigerant lines.

DO NOT bend excess refrigerant lines in a vertical loop (s), which allow trapping of refrigerant in LOW sections during OFF time.

Bend and shape excess refrigerant lines in VERTICAL spirals, not HORIZONTAL spirals. See Figure above.

3. Connect the small dia refrigerant line coupling to the unit fitting labelled "LIQUID" on the right side of the icemaker chassis.

4. Connect the large dia refrigerant line coupling to the unit fitting labelled "GAS" on the righ side of the icemaker chassis.

5. Connect the small dia refrigerant line coupling with Schrader valve to the condenser fitting labelled "LIQUID".

6. Connect the large dia refrigerant line coupling with Schrader valve to the condenser fitting labelled "GAS".

E. Excess lenght of pre-charged refrigerant lines; at installations where the icemaker chassisto-remote condenser refrigerant line path is substantially less than the lenght of precharged refrigerant lines to be installed, route and dress the excess refrigerant line as follows.

1. Follow straight line routing when possible.

2. Retain excess pre-charged refrigerant line inside the building.

7. ICE LEVEL CONTROL

The MAR flake ice system are equipped with and adjustable thermostatic control that cutsoff ice making operation when its sensing bulb gets in contact with the ice deposited in the storage bin.

The temperature range dial goes from +10

C to

-35

C and its long capillary (3.5 m.) attaching the liquid filled bulb, should be conveniently positioned in the storage room at the desired height by holding it with an appropriate bracket to be arranged in accordance with the location possibilities. These controls may or may not be used, it depends of storage room arrangement and its inner temperature that must be higher, anyway, to that of the ice produced.

In case of a prevailing low themperature (below

-20

C) created by the sub-cooled ice that is staging above the ice level, which will prevent a positive function of the ice level thermostatic control, the thermostatic sensing bulb must be removed from the storage room.

The MAR ice system are also equipped with a timer which allows to present the system operations time in relation to the quantity (level) of the ice desired. This timer function takes place of the ice level control. The timer knob turns counterclockwise and can be set at any point of the dial that goes from 0 to 24 hours, which will correspond to the system operation time.

8. ICE CHUTE

Mar compact unit are supplied without any ice chute however suggested drawing is per the herebelow draft.

If the outlet of the machine is remote from the bin.

a chute will be required. Stainless steel is an excellent material for this purpose where its cost is not prohibitive. Angels or edges of less that 45

° should not be used. Ice will cling to this surface and either melts excessively or jams in the ice chute. The sharper the drop, the better. If Straight down, do not insulate unless necessary.

Best material would be stainless steel or plastic.

SECTION II

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

1. COMPLETE UNIT START-UP

1. Remove all panels and open the water supply line shut-off valve for both the evaporator drum and in the case of a water cooled machine, to the condenser.

2. Observe the water filling operations.

a) Water flows into the float reservoir first.

b) Water is filling the freezing drum basin.

c) Float moves up as water level rises in water reservoir.

d) Float stops water flow when water level reaches maximum level in water basin, that is: 115-120 mm for MAR 55-75-105-125,

90-95 mm for MAR 205-305.

Now, water surrounds bottom half of freezing drum.

3. Move the manual ON-OFF toggle of main disconnect switch to ON position and turn counterclockwise the timer knob to start the automatic ice maker operation. The green light on console panel will glow.

4. Observe immediately that evaporator drum rotates in the right direction, namely toward the scraping blade.

WARNING - Correct Drum rotation - The evaporator drum drive motor is a threephase motor wired for 400 V. It is of extreme importance to check immediately upon unit start-up that motor rotates

CLOCKWISE in order that gear motor pulley rotates in the direction of the

ARROW. Should the motor turn counterclockwise, it is necessary to instantly switch-off the unit and interchange one polarity at terminal block connection of main electric cord.

NOTE. A double Pulley is provided for two different RPM of revolving drum. This pulley is fitted on output shaft of drive motor.

MAR air and water cooled versions are supplied from factory with the V belt placed on the smaller pulley for thicker ice scale production while drum r.p.m. are the following:

MAR 55 (0.9) - MAR 75 (1.1) - MAR 105 (1.5)

- MAR 125 (2.4) - MAR 205 (1.05) and

MAR 305 (1.6 A/C - 1.8 W/C).

5. Make sure that the automatic expansion valve opens and that refrigerant fluid starts to flow through it.

NOTE. At first compressor start-up, the suction pressure declines rapidly to 0.2 bar, causing the intervention of the pressure control, which will interrupt the entire unit operation.

This control being automatic re-set type, will resume the unit operation after few seconds.

The unit will start and stop few more times, due to the lo-pressure control cut-out and in, until system refrigerant pressure set on their normal values.

6. After two or three minutes of operation, observe that ice skin begin to form on the revolving drum surface and it is scraped by the blade.

7. Left the system operate for about 20 minutes.

Check for any excess noise beyond normal compressor noise.

a) Vibrating type from touching lines.

b) Compressor loose at one or more holddown bolts.

c) Drivemotor pulley misaligned with gear box pulley causing V belt vibration.

d) Check compressor oil level through sight glass

(Except MAR 55/75/105/125).

8. On water cooled machine check the water flowing out from condenser to see if it is correct. Cooling water flow is controlled by a pressure water regulating valve. No valve adjustment of water valve should be necessary unless the inlet temperature of cooling water is relatively high. Normal head pressure should be 17 bar on MAR 55, MAR 75, MAR 105 and

MAR 125; 16 bar on MAR 205 and 14 bar on

MAR 305.

9. Observe that evaporator drum is frosted allover from end to end. If this is not the case setting of the refrigerant expansion valve may be necessary. For proper adjustment of this valve turn the valve setting steam of one eight of a turn counterckwise to allow more refrigerant flow until the evaporator drum surface is evenly frosted from end to end.

In case you have an excessive frost back in the suction line and frost starts to form on compressor suction service valve slightly turn clockwise the expansion valve setting stem until the frost back on compressor service valve melts over.

The suction pressure should range between 0.6 bar and 2.5 bar depending on model, water temperature and level.

SECTION III

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION - HOW IT WORKS

1. ICE MAKER

The revolving drum which may be of different size depending on the ice maker capacity, is basically made of a cylinder skeleton covered by a stainless steel jacket.

A channel, about 15 m/m deep and 15 m/m wide is machined in a spiral pattern that goes from one end to the other of the cylinder skeleton.

The end of the machined channel communicate with a bore made in the left cylinder journal. The head manifold on the left side is for both liquid refrigerant inlet and vapor refrigerant outlet.

When cylinder metal jacket is forced and sealed on the cylinder skeleton, the spiral pattern channel made for the refrigerant flow becomes virtually the evaporator serpentine.

The metered refrigerant that reaches the evaporator serpentine by passing throught the bore in the left side cylinder journal, boils and evaporatores as it comes in contact with the drum metal jacket. About one third on the cylinder drum is constantly submerged in water.

This will allow the cylinder metal jacket to draw a film of water that, as soon as it comes afloat, freezes almost instantly due to the heat absorption created by the boiling refrigerant circulating in the inner serpentine and scrubbing with the jacket inner surface.

The ice layer of the emerged cylinder sector has a fraction of time to solidify, dry and eventually subcool before contacting the edge of the horizontal scraping blade.

The scraping blade, of heavy duty metal, cause the peels off of the ice sheet formed on the drum jacket by racking it while it advances on the revolving drum.

The ice sheet is so dry that, when it gets in contact with the scraping blade, it cracks in a form of irregular shaped chips. The refrigerant leaves the evaporator serpentine to return to the compressor via suction line through the bore of the head manifold on the left side cylinder.

The refrigerant sealing in the manifold is assured by an especially designed sealing device.

The cylinder is driven by a separate drive motor and gear reducer located on the right side.

Four motors are constantly in motion: a) the compressor b) the drive motor c) the fan motor d) water pump

The gear reducer, the driving belt with its pulley and the revolving drum with the rotating part of the sealing devices are the mechanical parts in motion.

3. ELECTRICAL / REFRIGERATION

The electrical circuit consists of the compressor motor, drive motor, water pump, condenser fan motor and control (on air cooled version), main controls (ON-OFF compressor Switch - Timer -

Contactor), safety controls - Thermal protection for compressor - Hi and Lo pressure switches water failure switch.

A. Compressor unit - (see Technical Specification Table for H.P.).

The compressor used on the MAR 55 - 75

- 105 - 125 is hermetic reciprocating type compressors while on MAR 205 and 305 is semihermetic type. All of them operating with

R 404a.

All compressors are equipped with a crankcase heater element and are thermally protected. Cooling is achieved with refrigerant passing through suction valve and by a separate fan motor on water cooled version only.

a) Compressor Crankcase Heater

Must be constantly energized particularly during OFF period of ice maker operations.

The temperature provided by the heating element into the crankcase prevents that refrigerant dilutes with oil.

b) Compressor Thermal Protector

(Thermistor) on MAR 205 and 305

A thermistor is a solid state semiconductor which permits or allows more electrons to flow throught it as the material's temperature increases. Today thermistors are used in place of a bimetal strip or in place of a temperature sensitive power element as a safety device in electric motors by stopping the electric power flow to a motor if the motor windings temperature increases to the danger point.

B. Drive Motor

The evaporator drum drive motor is a three phase motor of 1/2 HP wired for 400/230 Volts

50/60 Hz - 1,2/2,1 Amps - 1400 R.P.M. with thermal protector.

IMPORTANT - When this motor is disconnected or the entire unit is disconnected, it is necessary - when resuming the electrical

connection to immediately make sure that drive motor rotates clockwise facing the unit front.

Failure to this, may result in wrong rotation of evaporator drum with the risk of major damages to the system.

C. Timer

This timer has three functions: STOP -

CONTINUOUS and TIME CLOCK FROM 0 to

24 hours. It will be mainly used to pre-set the system operation time in relation to the desired amount to ice.

Therefore it takes the function of an Ice Level

Control in the storage area. This timer can be remotely located if desired.

D. Hi Pressure Cut-Out Hand Reset

This high pressure control prevents operation at high refrigerant pressure.

Shuts-off entire system in case of water failure to condenser on water cooled units and of fan motor failure on air cooled machines.

Factory cut-out setting are: air cooled water cooled

2 bar (480

30 psi)

30 bar (420 psi)

E. Water Failure Switch

This switch used as safety device when low or interrupted supply water conditions are encountered.

Operates on pressure between supply line and feed line to water reservoir.

Range is 0.5 bar (7 psi) off and 0.8 bar

(12 psi) on.

Cuts off complete unit and Resets automatically.

F. Lo-Pressure Cut-Out Automatical Reset

Penn Lo Pressure Control prevents operation at vacuum refrigerant suction pressure.

Shuts off entire system in case of refrigerant failure in the system.

Factory setting cut-out: 0,2 bar.

G. Condenser Fan Motor

Air Cooled Units

The fan Motors used are permanent capacitor type fan motors. Electrical supply to the fan motors is 230 V, 50 Hz - 0,7 Amp. for

MAR 55, 75, 105, 125 10 and 305 - 0,9 Amp.

for MAR 205.

H. Fan Motor Pressure Control

MAR Air Cooled version are equipped with a pressure control which is a reverse acting automatic re-set control directly connected to the fan motor. Its function is to maintain the head pressure between the cut-in and cut out setting values which are 15

17 bar.

K. Control Console

Located on the front of the unit cabinet, is a visual control console that monitors unit performance automatically.

Page 22

Any interruption or significant reduction in water or electrical supply causes an instant stop to the operation of the MAR flaker system. At the same time a warning light is activated on the control console telling the user of the ice maker stoppage and also the reason why.

MAR 55 - 75 - 105 - 125

If the stoppage is caused by its refrigerant pressures or overloading in the compressor a red light glows. Both controls that activate the red lights are manual reset type controls, therefore the cause of the stoppage should be diagnosed and corrected before reoperating the ice maker.

I. Water Regulating Valve

Penn made. Valve must be set to maintain head pressure at 17 bar (240 psi) for

MAR 55-75, 15 bar (210 psi) for MAR 105-125,

16 bar (225 psi) for MAR 205 and 14 bar

(195 psi) for MAR 305.

L. Automatic Expansion Valve (A.E.V.) M.O.P.

The automatic expansion valve controls the refrigerant when passing from the liquid line to the evaporator. As the pressure decreases on the low side, the expansion Valve open and refrigerant escapes into the evaporator drum channel where it absorbs heat from water while evaporating. The valve maintains a constant pressure in the evaporator coil when the system is running indipendently of the amount of refrigerant in the system.

This valve has an adjustment which may be manually regulated to give the evaporator coil the desired amount of refrigerant.

Turning the adjustment to the left, counterclockwise, will increase the rate of flow which is controlled by the pressure in the evaporator.

When the compressor is not running the valve will remain closed as the low side pressure will be high enough to close the expansion valve.

- MAR 55 -75 - 105 - 125 are generally equipped with an expansion valve having an orifice of 2,5 mm set for 3,0 bar of pressure.

- MAR 205 - 305 is also equipped with an expansion valve having an orifice of 4,5 mm set for 3.0 bar of pressure.

M. Evaporator Drum

Refrigerant inlet/outlet takes place on left side journal.

The drum body is covered by a jacket in special stainless steel resistant to the water corrosion.

The front edge of the scraping blade must have a clearance of minimum 0.05 mm from cylinder metal jacket.

N. Refrigerant Seal System

Housed in the refrigerant inlet/outlet manifold located on the evaporator drum left side journal, is a leakproof joint. This joint is made with seals that are carefully designed and installed. The seals use two rubbing surfaces.

One surface tourns with the cylinder journal and is sealed on it with on O ring of synthetic material. The other surface is stationary and fitted in its housing with leak-proof O ring.

The rubbing surfaces (optically flats) are made of two different material that are: hardenend steel for the rotating ring and graphite for the stationary ring.

The rotating parts are: a) the clip retainer ring b) the spring collar c) the compression spring d) the stainless steel seal ring with O ring.

The stationary parts are: a) the graphitic ring with O ring b) the stainless steel housing ring with gasket and O rings.

O. Heat Exchanger

A heat exchanger is mounted in the suction and liquid line to reduce flash gas in the liquid line, to reduce liquid refrigerant in the suction line and to subcool the liquid refrigerant thereby increasing the operating efficiency.

P. Sight Glass

A sight glass is installed in the liquid line. The sight glass will show bubbles if the system is low on refrigerant.

Q. Filter Drier

All MAR units mount a "Solid-core antiacid filter drier" on liquid line. This drier may be installed in any position provided that the arrow on its body point in the direction of refrigerant flow.

R. Contactor

MAR contactors have 3 or 5 contacts normally open and 1 contact normally closed. The N.C.

contact is generally used to keep the crankcase heater energized during the OFF periods. The contactor coil is generally at

230 V 50 Hz 1 Ph and kept energized by the system controls that are connected in series.

S. Thermostat (Ice level control)

When storage room temperature is higher to that of the ice being made, the ice level can be positively controlled by this thermostat, the sensing bulb of which must be positioned to the wanted level that will, abviously correspond to the desired ice level in storage room.

The temperature range dial must be set on to the proper temperature in order that the control may cut-out or may cut-in respectively when its sensing bulb gets buried into the ice cone and when is freed from the ice.

This thermostat can be a valid control if it is used in non-refrigerated storage rooms as in these cases it is influenced just by the ice temperature.

Page 24

T. Ice Spout Safety Switch

Located on top of the Ice Spout, the Safety

Switch is operated by a plate on top of the ice chute by the ice backing up in the spout.

The switch will shut-off the entire ice making mechanism.

U. Timer

Time Delay - With setting dial from 0 to 30 min.

It delays the energizing of main contactor in relation to its time setting, preventing short cyclings of units motor compressor and drive motor.

It is factory set on 25' delay.

4. REFRIGERANT CHARGE

WATER COOLED MODELS

The below refrigerant charge is approximate.

When charging, set at 15 or 17 bar head pressure according to the model and charge so that frost line extends out of the evaporator two third way to compressor after fifteen minutes of operation.

A. Motor Shaft Pulley

MAR units are generally equipped with "Step pulley" and by changing the belt from one groove to the other, the speed of drum can be changed.

MAR Machines are factory delivered with V belt on smaller dia V groove of step pulley to rotate the evaporator drum at the lowest possible R.P.M. to obtain "THICK" (2 mm gauge) scale ice.

If step pulley is revolved on motor shaft and V belt is placed on larger dia V groove the evaporator drum R.P.M. increases to the point to produce "THIN" (1 mm gauge) scale ice.

B. V Belt

V belt used on motor shaft pulley and gear box. When changing the V belt from one groove to another, be careful to adjust it for proper tension and alignement.

It should be snug not tight. A way to roughly check belt tension is to apply a firm hand pressure in the middle of the longest belt span. If the belt is correctly tensioned, you should be able to depress it about 10 m/m out of line.

C. Gear Reducer

Then gear reducer is mounted on the right side frame of evaporator drum basin to which it is firmaly secured with four nuts.

The gear reducer bore in which passes the drum shaft to be driven, has a keyway.

Two fiber keys are used to engage the gear reducer to the drum shaft, they are in series in the gear reducer bore, and shaft keyways.

Should the driving strain be excessive, the two fiber keys will shear.

MAR 55-75-105-125 are equipped with a gear reducer having a ratio of 1/600.

MAR 205 and 305 have a gear reducer with a ratio of 1/552.

The gear reducers are greased for life, therefore they do not require any maintenance.
