Kilterra supplies complete refrigeration component solutions for the ice machine industry: dedicated condensers, evaporators, filter driers and accumulators. As a core supplier to the world's leading ice machine makers, Kilterra understands the frequent start-stop cycles and high-humidity conditions of ice makers - reliability proven in mass production.
Before You Start
- Mount the condenser in well-ventilated, dust-protected position
- Position the filter drier for easy replacement
- Seal and insulate the evaporator properly
- Follow brazing standards to keep moisture out
Common Installation Mistakes
- Slow ice production - dirty condenser or saturated filter
- Incomplete ice shapes - uneven evaporator heat transfer
- Compressor short-cycling - system protection
- Ice blockage - failed filter drier
Notes from the Field
- How often to replace the ice maker filter? - Every 6-12 months; more often with poor water quality.
- Is slow ice always a condenser problem? - Check filter and refrigerant charge first.
- Why do ice makers ice up so easily? - High humidity pushes moisture into the system.
- Uneven evaporator ice? - Check refrigerant distribution and heat surface cleanliness.
For 37 years Kilterra has focused on one thing: build refrigeration components right, deliver them on time. Ice Machine Components supports OEM/ODM customization - factory visits, sample testing and volume partnerships are welcome.
