Manitowoc CVDF0600 1 HP QuietQube Remote Condensing Unit for IYF0600C Ice Machine Head, Air-Cooled

The Manitowoc CVDF0600 is the remote air-cooled condensing unit of the QuietQube system pairing, built for operators who want high-volume cube ice in the back of the house without a compressor running where guests and staff can hear it. Matched with the IYF0600C ice machine head, the system produces up to 634 lb of ice per 24 hours at 70°F air and 50°F water and holds 530 lb output even at a 90°F/70°F summer rating point, so a full dinner rush or a hot-weather beverage push does not outrun the supply. The 1 HP compressor and condenser fan sit on the roof or in a utility area, and the unit keeps making ice in ambient air from -20°F to 130°F, which a kitchen-bound self-contained machine cannot tolerate. This is a component, not a complete machine: the ice machine head, storage bin or dispenser, and interconnecting refrigerant lines are all ordered separately, and Manitowoc designs the pairing as a closed system, so it works only with IYF0600C and cannot be matched to any other ice machine or condenser brand. If you cannot run a line set to a remote location, an air-cooled self-contained machine is the better format. Plan the install around a dedicated 208-230V circuit wired independent of the head, a line run of 100 ft or less, and an S-trap kit on any rise over 20 ft.

Patented CVD Technology Moves the Compressor Out of the Kitchen

QuietQube remote systems relocate the 1 HP compressor and the condenser fan away from the ice machine head, eliminating most refrigeration noise from the room where the ice is made. That matters in open-plan dining rooms, hotel lobbies, and service bars where a self-contained machine adds a constant mechanical hum. The head section stays quiet and compact indoors while this unit rejects 11,800 BTU/hr on average and 13,700 BTU/hr at peak outdoors instead of into your air-conditioned space.

100 Ft Maximum Line Runs With 35 Ft of Vertical Rise

Refrigerant lines can run up to 100 ft between this unit and the ice machine head, with a maximum vertical rise of 35 ft above the head and a drop of 15 ft below it, which covers most rooftop and mechanical-room placements. Rises over 20 ft require the K-00172 S-trap kit, and Manitowoc's matched interconnecting tubing kits (RC-21 (20 ft), RC-31 (30 ft), RC-51 (50 ft)) are ordered separately so the charge and line sizing stay within factory spec.

Outdoor Rated Down to 20 Below Zero for Year-Round Duty

The condensing unit is rated to operate from -20°F up to 130°F, so it holds production through winter cold snaps and rooftop summer heat alike. The head section indoors keeps its own standard operating limits while the weather exposure lands on this unit, which ships at 203 lb in a 34.00 in. wide by 24.13 in. deep by 25.75 in. tall housing sized for curb or frame mounting.

Independent Power Feed With HACR Breaker Compatibility

The unit takes its own 208-230V, 60 Hz, 1 phase standard supply, wired independent of the ice machine head's 115V circuit, so each piece of the system is protected and serviced on its own feed. Minimum circuit ampacity is 11.6 amps (1 ph), 10.2 amps (3 ph) with a maximum fuse size of 15 amps (1 ph or 3 ph), and HACR-type circuit breakers can be used in place of fuses.
