Manitowoc® - CVDF3000-263 - Condensing Unit, remote air-cooled - 208-230 Volt 3 Phase 60 Hz

For Indigo Series QuietQube Ice Cube Machines

CVD® (Cool Vapor Defrost) technology is basically a different type of ice harvest system that allows Manitowoc to move the compressor out of the customer environment. Standard remote condenser ice machines all use compressor hot gas systems to heat the evaporator during their ice harvest cycles. To make hot gas systems work, the compressor must be as physically close to the ice making evaporator as possible. This also means the noise from the compressor is always concentrated at the ice making part of the system. This is not something you want in a customer environment.

Manitowoc CVD ice machines use vapor refrigerant from the receiver tank to harvest the ice. The receiver tank is a refrigerant storage tank typically used on all remote ice machines and can be a source of vapor refrigerant for a harvest cycle if the system is configured correctly. CVD systems all use large capacity refrigerant accumulators for maximum compressor protection under any operating condition. Compressor and condenser heat and noise is always located outside away from the customer environment.

It not only makes QuietQube ice machines the quietest ever; it makes them more reliable, makes them efficient, and provides high levels of ice production too.
