Section 4
Installation
If the blast chiller is installed in an enclosed area, to
ensure proper operation it is necessary to ensure
appropriate air circulation. The air recirculation values
are shown in the technical tables of the blast chillers.
For the environmental installation conditions see the
dedicated paragraph. Furthermore, to ensure optimal
operation of the blast chiller, pay attention to the follow-
ing indications:
Do not position the blast chiller in a position directly
exposed sunlight and other forms of radiation such as
cooking ovens, etc. (Figure 1).
Do not position the blast chiller in outdoor environ-
ments.
Do not position the blast chiller inside a closed recess
as it compromises the correct air flow.
Do not place trays or any object with a temperature
above 85°C in direct contact with inside of the
chilling cabinet as it may damage the insulation.
Check the correct positioning of the condensate
drain and the condensate drain tray in the case of
unibody blast chillers.
In the case of panel blast chillers, prepare a drainage
duct near the door and convey the condensate drain
pipe into the wastewater network. If the machine has
the ramp it is possible to install the drainage duct
before the ramp, or at the door exit at the threshold
(figure 2).
The machine must be installed on a flat, horizontal
surface both to avoid problems related to the stability
of the machine and for the appropriate slope for
draining the condensate. If the surface is not flat it is
necessary:
To act on the feet if the machine is equipped with
adjustable feet (screwing or unscrewing them) until it
is level; any other installation solution must be agreed
and approved by the manufacturer (figure 3).
If the machine/partly-completed machinery is not
equipped with adjustable feet, i.e. it is a cabinet type
with modular panels, it will be necessary to use suita-
ble shims to level the support surface of the
machine/partly-completed machinery.
If the machine/partly-completed machinery is
supplied on wheels, place it in a flat, horizontal area
and lock the wheels before using it.
