I'm having a problem with a sabroe ice machine . It has a float liquid level control . Lately I've notice that it would shut off with nothing tripped . I attached a manifold and spent an hour watching the pressure go from 8 psi to 2 psi and back again . Just be for it shut off , the pressure continued to drop below 2 psi to 6 inches Hg . I'm thinking the float is sticking close . any one else have a different opinion
claude.
Are you still out there, if so is this problem still ongoing/ If so let us know. And I will respond.

By the way is this a Finsam Plant?
Claude. Just drop me a note. We are making the Sabroe iceflakers these days.
claude
what refrigerant are you on and I presume it is a low side float control?
Ian
found the problem . The liquid line solenoid would cut in but no liquid would flow . replaced the diaphragm and now it works fine

You say Sabroe Ice Machine, is it all Sabroe or is that just the Compressors?
The reason I ask is my colleague and I look after 2 Finsam Flake Ice Plants (80ton & 100ton per 24hrs)
Lots of interesting stories there!
