  • Page 5: Introduction

    FLAME II CROP DRYER (FAN AND HEATER), CSA Version. This manual is intended for use with the Shivvers 15 or 20 Hp Blue Flame II Crop Dryer which is CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certified. The Crop Dryer consists of a Blue Flame II heater connected to a Shivvers 15 or 20 Hp Centrifugal Fan.
  • Page 6 This series of Blue Flame II heaters are similar to the centrifugal heaters manufactured by Shivvers in the past. These dryers use a flame sensing system called flame rectification. There are no moving parts in the flame rod. It just has to be in the flame but not touching the burner element or housing.

    For 2 or 3 fan installations, consult Shivvers for recommendations. It is recommended to use only Shivvers entrance collars and transitions for high temperature (greater than 140˚ F), high capacity drying. Follow instructions provided with transitions for their installation. For drying bins with more than one Blue Flame II Crop Dryer, air dampers are required to prevent reverse airflow.

    HEATER INSTALLATION Install the flame rod located in the heater control box. Due to some flame rods breaking during shipping, we are now putting the flame rod assembly (119-261A) in the control box of the burner to be installed after the burner is shipped.
  • Page 28 Heater Installation, con’t: Two hinged Side Baffles (119-250W) are located on opposite sides inside of the Burner housing. The purpose of these are to channel sufficient air flow from the fan into the burner element for proper fuel/air mixture. The Side Baffles also aid in giving adequate heat/air mixture for uniform heat to enter the plenum.

  • Page 31: Fan Installation

    FAN INSTALLATION Adjust fan leveling legs for a good fit to the burner. Add sealant around the fan opening and bolt the fan to the heater as shown. Some holes may need to be reamed out or re- drilled for proper fit. Lock the five (5) or six (6) fan leveling legs in place. Caulk any air gaps.

  • Page 32: Operating Control & Transition Hi Limit Installation

    OPERATING CONTROL AND TRANSITION HI-LIMIT INSTALLATION Install the Operating Control and Transition Hi-Limit as shown below. It is best to install the Transition Hi-Limit probe first, then mount the box, being careful to not kink the capillary tubes. The capillary tubes cannot be extended, so they dictate where the box can be mounted.

  • Page 35 Once a location is selected, drill a small hole 1/2 to 2/3 up from the bin concrete to the drying floor. Insert a wire 1 foot into the plenum area to make sure the hole is not obstructed by a floor leg or other structure. If it is obstructed, insert sheet metal screw to plug the hole and move to another location.

  • Page 37: Liquid Propane Installation And Gas Hookup

    LIQUID PROPANE INSTALLATION AND GAS HOOK-UP ALL FUEL COMPONENTS MUST BE INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AS APPLICABLE. USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AS A GUIDE ONLY. The LP storage tank(s) should be placed at least 25 feet from the heater (some places require 50 feet, so check local regulations), and should not be near any structure.
  • Page 38 Follow local requirements for venting away pressure relief valves and the pressure regulator. The screen vent on the regulator must be moved to end of the vent line for proper regulator operation. A pipe away adapter (H-2806) is provided for the 50 PSI relief valve located after the pressure regulator.

  • Page 39: Natural Gas Installation And Gas Hookup

    NATURAL GAS INSTALLATION AND GAS HOOK-UP ALL FUEL COMPONENTS MUST BE INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AS APPLICABLE. USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AS ONLY A GUIDE. For adequate heat, the natural gas supply must provide the following for each heater.

    ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING SHALL BE INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, CSA C22.1, AS A MINIMUM REQUIREMENT, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL WIRING CODES AS APPLICABLE. WIRING MUST BE DONE BY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN. A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IS RECOMMENDED, AND MUST BE USED WHEN REQUIRED BY LOCAL OR PROVINCIAL STATUTES.

  • Page 41: 15 Hp C-Fan 1 Phase With Vfd Incoming Power Wiring

    It is recommended to use at least some flexible conduit to the C-Fan and heater. Leave enough flex so the fan and heater can be moved to allow servicing or replacement of the dryer components. It is necessary to have an incoming ground wire (marked green) with the incoming power leads.

    FIELD INSTALLED CONTROL WIRING There are many different configurations possible for field installed control wiring. Control wiring is shown for the most common configuration. If another configuration is required, consult the factory for assistance. The way shown is for if the C-Fan control panel is mounted on the back of the fan.

  • Page 46: Control Wiring For Fan Control Panel On Back Of Fan

    CONTROL WIRING FOR FAN CONTROL PANEL ON BACK OF FAN Install a conduit from the C-Fan control panel to the BFII heater. This conduit will have at least 3 wires in it but it is recommended to install two extra wires. One needs to be green for ground.
  • Page 47 3b). For 1 Phase panel with VFD: If the fan is used stand-alone without any other dryer control or interlock, install a jumper between terminals T4 and T5 in the fan frequency drive control panel. The fan will not run without a connection between these terminals.

  • Page 48: Initial Checkout

    INITIAL CHECKOUT Once the wiring is completed, make sure the heater power switch is off. Make sure everyone is out of the grain bin and are safely away from all drying equipment, then unlock the main power. Lock the bin entrances shut, and then turn on the main power.

  • Page 49: Operating Instructions

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To Operate: Do not start the fan unless the bin roof vents are open. Air pressure could cause roof damage. Do not start the fan if the fan wheel is spinning rapidly (so fast that you cannot see the individual fan blades). Trying to restart the fan with the wheel spinning rapidly may trip an error code or could even damage the frequency drive.
  • Page 50 If gas pressure is set too high, the Transition Hi-Limit may trip. The heater will operate with gas pressures as low as 1 PSI on LP and 0.5 PSI on NG. On LP units, when gas pressure is changed, re-adjust the vaporizer as required.
  • Page 51 Short Term Stop (less than a couple days): Close manual gas valve at Blue Flame II heater. Burn out all gas in pipe train. Turn burner switch off. Let burner cool down for a few minutes then stop fan. Long Term Stop (more than a couple days): Close gas valve at the supply.
  • Page 52 Vaporizer Operation: (LP units only) Liquid propane is fed through the vaporizer coils to change its state from a liquid to a gas. It is desirable to keep the propane vapor temperature between 50° F and 120° F. If the temperature of the gas exiting the vaporizer exceeds 140° F it may cause the propane to break down resulting in incomplete combustion and the formation of deposits on the burner surfaces and the burner orifices.

  • Page 53: Maintenance

    Maintain a clean operation. Clean up spilled corn, clean out fines under the bin floor (contact Shivvers about clean-out doors and floor doors), keep all control boxes shut and replace seals if required. Control the rodent population. Control weeds and tall grasses around the Blue Flame II.
