The diameters of the supply ducts of the equipment are dimensioned for installation distances up to 25 metres ( 8 see Table 5). For greater distances, contact IRINOX SpA. Insulation of the intake and hot gas line must be 19 mm done with a good quality closed-cell insulation, at least 19 mm thick.
2.9. WATER CONDENSING UNIT CONNECTION • During inspection of the water network, with the machi- ne stopped and the water mains ready, check that the drain tube of the condenser does not leak water. If it does, adjust the pressure switch valve until leaking stops (Fig.13).
2.11. SAFETY AND CONTROL SYSTEMS • Door micro switch (A): blocks the fans when the door is opened. • Protection fuses (B): protects circuits from short- t - circuits and overloads. • Fuse holders (C): contain the fuses and allow circuit opening and disconnection.

Phase Description Front panel screen Pressing P6 and P7 on DS2 the time gone since the start of the cycle is displayed. This function can be used at the end of the cycle to determine the time needed for blast chilling of a typical product. That time can be used thereafter to blast chill a similar product using MANUAL mode.

4. MAINTENANCE 4.1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE The information and instructions in this chapter are intended for all those who work with the machine: user, maintenance technician, as well as non-specialised personnel. Elementary safety Standards To carry out cleaning and maintenance safely, we recall the safety Standards in par.

4.2.1. Washing the evaporator Wear protective gloves during the follow- ing operations. HOW TO ACCESS THE EVAPORATOR: In order to clean the inside of the evaporator, use a flat-blade screwdriver to loosen the screw located at the right side of the fan-holding panel and turn it to the left. METHODS FOR CLEANING EVAPORATOR In order to clean the evaporator, a brush can be used with a vertical movement along the direction of the aluminium...
4.3. CLEANING THE CONDENSER For Blast chillers with built-in condensing units, access the condenser pulling the front flapped grid with force. For remote condensing units, the air condenser must be kept clean to allow free air flow. This operation, which must be carried out at least every 30 days, can be done with non-metallic brushes in order to remove all dust and down from the condenser flaps.
