Start-up and shutdown procedures
START-UP PROCEDURE
Before initial start-up or after prolonged shutdown, the BAC Ice Chiller
®
Thermal Storage Units should be
thoroughly inspected and cleaned:
1. Clean all debris from the interior of the tank.
2. Flush the Ice Chiller
®
tank with water, then drain to remove any accumulated dirt.
3. Visually inspect the air pump for damage.
4. Connect the motor using a thermal overload motor starter.
5. Start the air pump and check for correct rotation. Also check for any unusual noise or vibration.
6. Check the voltage and current of the air blower. The current should not exceed the nameplate rating.
7. Inspect the PVC air distribution piping for cracks or other signs of damage.
8. Check the Ice Logic™ ice thickness control to be sure it is securely mounted and has not been damaged.
Check control wiring for proper connections.
9. Caulk around the base of the tank (caulk is provided with the unit).
10. Inspect and leak test all the components and piping of the refrigerant and/or secondary coolant system.
11. Fill the ice tank with good quality water ("About water care" on page 15) to a height of at least 25 mm above the
coil. Start the water circulation pumps and check the water level again. Add water until it is at least 25 mm
above the coil, which is the appropriate level when there is no ice in the tank.
CAUTION
Do not overfill!
Overflowing the tank may damage the insulation and/or cause the operating controls to
malfunction.
12. If using a secondary coolant, charge the system with the proper industrial grade inhibited glycol solution
("Protection against coil freezing" on page 17) and ensure all air is purged from the system. Do not attempt to
mix the glycol solution in the Ice Chiller
®
unit coil.
