Remote Condenser Ice Machines: Cool, Quiet, and Efficient

Much like air conditioning, a remote-cooled ice machine uses a remote condenser designed to be installed in a separate location. In a self-contained ice machine, the condenser is built into the unit in order to form a single piece of equipment. The remote ice machine, on the other hand, features a remote condenser that can be safely placed in the next room or on the roof of a building. The components are connected through refrigerant lines that run the gap between the two.

Remote condenser ice machines can produce different types of ice--ice cubes, nugget ice, and flake ice--you name it. Whether you serve carbonated drinks, frozen beverages, and mixed cocktails, or need ice for ice bagging, dispensing, and bulk cooling, a remote-cooled ice machine can handle it.

What remote condenser ice machines can do for you

The remote condensing unit affords you a slew of benefits typically absent in water cooled and the air cooled ice machines. Whether you run a convenience store, restaurant, bar, cafeteria, or any other foodservice operation, remote condenser ice machines will provide excellent value to you and your customers. And they should perform well in high-volume applications.

With the remote condenser away from the action, the noise and heat that it will typically produce during ice production will be nowhere near customers and your staff. This creates a cooler, more comfortable environment for everybody.

This is especially useful if you will be consistently running the ice machine to maintain a large supply of ice for the crowds you need to serve throughout the day. The humming noise from the compressor and fan disrupts an otherwise enjoyable atmosphere.

The condenser also produces a lot of heat, and when it is remotely installed, you won't have to worry about increasing the ambient temperature inside your facility. Instead, the hot air will be released wherever the remote condenser is placed. And by reducing the air temperature around the ice maker, ice production is increased substantially and air conditioning loads are decreased. So in a nutshell, you get more ice with less noise!

For this reason, remote-cooled ice machines are preferred by operators located in hot environments and climates and those with multiple refrigeration equipment in use. When you do opt for a remote-cooled ice machine, manufacturers typically have a remote condenser to match its specifications. This ensures that you will be able to run your ice maker with no trouble.
