Discharge Line Temperature Analysis
GENERAL
Knowing if the discharge line temperature is increasing,
decreasing or remaining constant can be an important
diagnostic tool. Compressor discharge line temperature
on a normally operating ice machine steadily increases
throughout the freeze cycle.
Ambient air temperatures affect the discharge line
temperature.
Higher ambient air temperatures at the condenser and/
or higher inlet water temperature = higher discharge line
temperatures at the compressor.
Lower ambient air temperatures at the condenser and/
or lower supply water temperature = lower discharge line
temperatures at the compressor.
Regardless of ambient and water temperatures, the freeze
cycle discharge line temperature should be higher than
150°F (66°C) at the end of the freeze cycle.
PROCEDURE
1. Navigate to Service/Diagnostics/Temperature
Sensors/T2 Thermistor.
2. Observe the discharge line temperature (T2) for the
last three minutes of the freeze cycle and record on
the table.
