Key Features:

CVD (Cool Vapor Defrost) Technology: Uses vapor refrigerant from the receiver tank for ice harvesting instead of traditional hot gas evaporator systems, delivering quieter operation and improved efficiency over comparable remote condenser units.
Compatible with Indigo Series QuietQube Ice Machines: Designed specifically for use with select Indigo series QuietQube remote condenser ice machines and the SF-3000C series, ensuring seamless integration and optimized performance.
Remote Placement for Noise and Heat Isolation: Compressor and condenser heat and noise are located outside the customer environment; can be installed indoors or outdoors away from the ice machine, with a maximum line length of 100 feet (remote tubing line kit sold separately).
5.5 HP Air-Cooled Remote Condenser: Delivers powerful and efficient cooling capacity while lowering the ambient temperature around the ice machine, improving overall ice production efficiency and staff comfort.
3-Phase Electrical Operation: Operates on 208-230V / 60 Hz / 3-Phase power with a 30-amp draw, suitable for commercial kitchen electrical configurations.
Large-Capacity Refrigerant Accumulators: Engineered with oversized accumulators to provide maximum compressor protection across all operating conditions, enhancing reliability and longevity.
CSA, NSF, and cULus Certified: Meets rigorous industry safety and sanitation standards, making it suitable for commercial foodservice installations.
Heavy-Duty Build: 268 lb chassis provides structural stability; overall dimensions of 53" W x 26" D x 25 3/4" H accommodate standard commercial rooftop or remote equipment installations.

Detailed Description

The Manitowoc CVDF3000 is a 5.5 HP air-cooled remote condensing unit engineered specifically for Indigo Series QuietQube and SF-3000C Series remote condenser ice machines, setting it apart from standard remote condenser solutions through its proprietary Cool Vapor Defrost (CVD) technology. Unlike conventional hot gas evaporator systems that require the compressor to remain close to the ice-making unit, CVD harnesses vapor refrigerant from the receiver tank to drive the harvest cycle, allowing all compressor heat and noise to be relocated entirely away from the customer environment. The result is measurably quieter operation, lower ambient temperatures around the ice machine, and improved overall efficiency. Rated at 208-230V, 3-Phase, 60 Hz with a 30-amp hardwire connection, the unit supports up to 100 feet of line length and is built for flexible indoor or outdoor installation. CSA, NSF, and cULus certified, the CVDF3000 delivers commercial-grade reliability in a 268 lb chassis built for long-term performance.

Product Details

CVD Air-Cooled Technology

Quieter Operation Through CVD Technology

The CVDF3000 harnesses Manitowoc's Cool Vapor Defrost (CVD) technology, which uses vapor refrigerant from the receiver tank to harvest ice rather than relying on a compressor-based hot gas system. This means the compressor, its heat, and its noise are all relocated away from the customer environment.

Eliminates compressor noise from the serving area
Lowers ambient temperature around the ice machine
More reliable and efficient than standard hot gas systems
