Ice machines have been affected by the revolution in refrigerants, like other HVACR products and components. But the story is still evolving. There are always those trying yet another refrigerant to see if the ultimate issue - better efficiency - can be achieved.

North American Technician Excellence (NATE) is forging strong ties with the wholesaler sector of the HVACR industry, and that is proving to be of mutual benefit to both the tester of technicians and a sector that has daily contact with techs - the distributors.

Anybody who works on ice machines knows that concern No. 1 is the water. The purer the water, the better the machine will run. The better the water, the better the ice, and the happier the customer.

Quiet machines and clean water were recurring themes in ice-making products shown at the recent National Restaurant Association (NRA) Restaurant-Hotel-Motel Show and the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) Supermarket Industry Convention and Educational Exposition.
