Most package ice makers are ____-cooled.

____ ice is normally made in a vertical refrigerated cylinder surrounded by the evaporator on the outside.

The auger in a flake ice maker has cutting surfaces called ____.

A ____ is used to turn the auger in a flake ice machine.

Most ice flakers have a ____ that reduces the auger drive motor’s speed from about 1725 rpm to 9 to 16 rpm.

____ evaporators have ice cups designed to cause the ice to fall out of the cups during defrost.

____ ice cube machines usually have vertical evaporator plates with water flowing over the individual cells.

____ between the evaporator cells allow air entering from the edges of the ice to travel along the entire ice slab and relieve the suction force.

____ are simply small computers that contain stored programs or algorithms.

For maximum efficiency, individual ice machine models have different programs called algorithms stored in their ____.

12. Microprocessors are often referred to as ____.

Which of the following are integrated circuit controllers?

When using cleaning and sanitizing chemicals, it is unnecessary to wear protective clothing and eyewear.

Ice-making machines are the same as ice-holding machines such as those seen on the outside of a convenience store or service station.

The gear motor assembly is less prone to failure than any other part in the ice flaker.

Manufacturers of ice flakers install thermal overload controls in the motor windings or a manual-reset, current-type overload control.

It is important that the auger does not wobble within the freezing cylinder or evaporator.

Water levels can be sensed and controlled by a probe located in the water reservoir.

Solid forms of ice last longer because there is more weight with less surface area.

Most ice makers use a hot gas harvest or defrost to melt an ice sheet off the evaporator.

Ice is not considered a food source.

It is recommended that at least ________________ a year, the probe should be removed from the water reservoir and cleaned.

The ________________ is usually made of two reed switches and two floats.

26. ________________-type devices are usually located in the spout.

27. ________________ sense the buildup of ice by infrared technology. This control allows the ice machine to shut down before the ice chokes the spout opening.

28. ____________________ controls use sound waves and vibrations, which are reflected back to the control from the ice.

Making a(n) ____________________-shaped ice cube involves running water over an evaporator plate in which the copper evaporator tubing is soldered onto the plates at regular intervals.

30. What are the steps for installing a package machine?

31. List some of the methods used for ice bin control.

Devices used in commercial ice machines include:

How does the mechanical flapper work?

When operating at the proper refrigerant charge, ice production in flake ice machines depends on two main factors. What are these factors?

Why is the gear motor assembly more prone to fail than any other part in the ice flaker?

Ice production, cycle times, and system operating pressures for an air-cooled ice machine mainly depend on two factors. Identify them?
