Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION This manual provides installation and operation information for the EI1000D self-contained Eskimo Ice System using digital controls (software level C-19). The ice produced by this system is not potable and should not be ingested. Do not eat, chew, suck, swallow, or put the ice into drinks. The ice produced by this system is intended solely for the refrigeration purposes of freshly caught fish stored in a fish box.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INTRODUCTION ICE MAKING AND REFRIGERATION BASICS HOW THE EI1000D MAKES ICE Ice production is continuous. Fresh water floods the cylindrical evaporator. Using a refrigeration process, heat is removed from the fresh water in order to freeze it on the inner surface. A rotating auger continuously scrapes ice from the inner wall of the evaporator and moves the harvested ice through the evaporator into an ice extrusion canal.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INTRODUCTION The ice maker’s refrigerant compound has a very low boiling point. It flows in a closed loop between an evaporator and a condenser, alternately absorbing and releasing heat. This process removes the heat from the fresh water in the evaporator/ auger assembly and causes the fresh water to freeze on the inside of the evaporator wall. The heat absorbed by the refrigerant is transferred to the seawater.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INTRODUCTION High Temperatures - As seawater temperatures approach 90°F (32°C) and above, the water’s ability to absorb heat diminishes, so the capacity of the system decreases. Also, when seawater temperature increases above 90°F (32°C), the system could sustain a high-pressure shutdown to protect the compressor. Low Temperatures - As the seawater temperature decreases, the system could sustain a low-pressure shutdown to protect the compressor.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INTRODUCTION The unit is pre-charged with refrigerant from the factory. The unit has plug-and-play electrical connections for the ice-level sensor and the optional remote display. CONTROL BOX The ice-making unit has an electrical control box with digital display that can be mounted on the unit or remotely mounted up to 7’ (2.1m) away. The control box (Figure 11, page 13) contains the system function switches, digital display, and system indicator lights.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES INSTALLATION PROCEDURES This section covers the installation procedures for your ice-making system. Read the manual completely before attempting to install any equipment. CHOOSING THE CORRECT EQUIPMENT VOLTAGE Know the frequency and voltage provided where your ice-making system will be used and select the appropriate 60 Hz or 50 Hz model.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES INSTALLING ICE-DELIVERY HOSE Planning the Route The maximum length of the ice-delivery hose is 50 feet (15 m) under ideal conditions and depending on route. It must be a Dometic-approved ice delivery hose. The best hose routing provides a level but slightly upward rise from the ice maker to the ice-storage box, with very few bends. No bend should be tighter than a radius of 18" (458mm).
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES INSTALLING THE ICE-LEVEL SENSOR To prevent overflow, this sensor stops ice production when the ice in the storage box reaches the level of the sensor. Use Figure 6 below to determine placement for the ice-level sensor at the storage box location. 1. The sensor must be located 2.5” (64mm) minimum to 3” (76mm) maximum to the left or right side of the ice-delivery hole. Drill a 23/32" (19mm) hole for sensor. 2.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Procedure 1. Run copper tubing or equivalent from the freshwater source to the in-line water filter. 2. Run copper tubing or equivalent from the water filter to the water input, and connect with the supplied 3/8" push-on female fitting connection on the unit. 3. Ensure there are no leaks in the field-installed portion of the system.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual Figure 7: Seawater Piping Recommendations Thru-Hull Inlet Fitting A separate thru-hull fitting must be installed for each seawater pump. Do not attempt to draw water from the thru-hull fitting of an engine, generator, or other device. Install a scoop-type thru-hull fitting: 1. Drill a properly sized hole for the thru-hull fitting as far below the water line and as close to the keel as possible. 2.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES • Use the correct size hose, fittings, and components: 5/8” seawater hose, 3/4” inlet. Note that the pump inlet piping (including thru-hull and strainer) may need to be larger than the outlet pipe size. Do not use pump connections to determine hose size. • The "pump inlet" recommended pipe size includes all fittings and hose up to the pump connection (thru-hull, seacock, strainer, hose, manifold).
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Figure 9: Seawater Manifold Orientation Pump Relay The pump relay (if needed) is generally located in the engine room or mechanical space near the seawater pump, but can be mounted anywhere that is convenient and accessible. It must be in a dry location, away from water spray, with some room for heat dissipation. Choose your pump relay based on the number of units that will operate off one pump.
Eskimo Ice Installation & Operation Manual OPERATION OPERATION This section of the manual provides the essential information for safe operation for all Dometic ice makers.
