A must have for any commercial kitchen! It keeps the heat out of the kitchen, making for a more comfortable work setting. The URC-5F, URC Series Remote Condenser provides quiet, energy efficient operation that is designed to save money on energy costs and reduce excess heat in commercial kitchens. This Remote Condenser can be installed away from the ice maker using Pre-charged refrigerant lines (20″², 35″²), tubing kits sold separately.
Remote systems provide an air-cooled option that will dissipate the heat from the condenser which is located outside of the ice machine environment. Through refrigerant lines connecting the ice machine to the remote condenser, we are able to discharge the heat generated from the condenser to an area where the heat will be of little concern (typically outdoors). Removing the condenser heat from the kitchen or customer area is a great benefit. Other benefits are:
Areas of concern for the remote system would be initial equipment and installation cost. With this system, you must purchase and install 3 pieces; the ice machine head, remote condenser and line set. Installation will typically require that a roof or wall penetration is made for the line connections. A roof curb is needed as well as the extra labor involved in running the line set and electrical connection. The upfront cost of a remote unit installation can usually be justified by the reduction of air conditioning load in the area along with increased production.” -Lonnie Clayton (Hoshizaki Technical Support Tech-Tips)
