Remote Condenser General Information
Page 3
The VRC remote condensers incorporate the mixing valve in the condenser. This configuration allows up to
a 100 foot calculated remote line set run. Reference the diagram below to calculate the maximum 100 foot
line set run.
Limitations for new remote machines that have the mixing valve mounted in the condenser.
Maximum Rise is 35 feet.
Maximum Drop is 15 feet.
Maximum equivalent run is 100 feet.
Formula for figuring maximum equivalent run is as follows:
Rise x 1.7 + Drop x 6.6 + horizontal run = equivalent run.
Examples: 35 ft. rise x 1.7 + 40 ft. horizontal = 99.5 equivalent feet line run
35 ft. rise
40 ft. horizontal
Verify the ICE machine is compatible with the remote
condenser. Some ice machines and some remote condensers
may or may not have a Mixing Valve (Head Master). Only one
valve is required per system. Kits are available to modify the
remote condenser for compatibility. For more information
contact your Ice-O-Matic Distributor.
34 ft. horizontal
10 ft. drop
10 ft. drop x 6.6 + 34 ft horizontal = 100 equivalent feet line run
