4 Installation

CAUTION:

Improper operation of the equipment could result in dangerous conditions. Follow all instructions and operate within design limits noted on the data plate.

4.1 Location

Install the unit in a level area free from vibration with a minimum of eight inches (20 cm) of space on the top and sides, and six inches (15 cm) in back.

CAUTION:

Do not position the unit in a way that impedes access to the disconnecting device or circuit breaker in back of the unit.

Allow enough clearance so that the door can swing open at least 90 degrees.

The rear spacing posts provided with the freezer can be used to ensure proper clearance. To install the spacing posts, screw them into the back of the rear deck area,

Do not position the equipment in direct sunlight or near heating diffusers, radiators, or other sources of heat. The ambient temperature range at the location must be 59 to 90°F (15 to 32°C).

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to operate the unit in ambient temperatures above 90°F (32°C).

4.2 Leveling

The unit must be level. If the unit is out of level, you may need to shim the corners or casters with thin sheets of metal.

CAUTION:

The casters on this unit are provided for installation purposes only. Be sure to set the brakes on the casters before use. The unit should only be moved when it is empty of stored product.

4.3 Wiring

Before connecting your freezer to a power source, be sure to check the data plate for correct voltage. Wiring diagrams are attached to the back of the cabinet.

The power connector is a NEMA 6-20P. Therefore the installation site must have the corresponding receptacle, NEMA 6-20R.

Thermo Scientific XBF40 Series Blast Freezers Installation, Operation and Service Manual

5

Installation

Power requirement is 208/230V. A minimum 20A service is required.

Due to the capacity of this unit it may not start reliably on marginal outlets with high voltage drop, even if the unloaded voltage is in the required range.

Supply conductors and connections must be sufficient to provide

NEMA-compliant power quality.

WARNING:

All electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable local and national codes.

CAUTION:

Connect the equipment to the correct power source. Incorrect voltage can result in severe damage to the equipment.

Always connect the equipment to a dedicated (separate) circuit. Electrical codes require time delay fuse or circuit breaker protection for branch circuit conductors.

4.4 Door Seal

Door seal integrity is critical for freezers. A loose fitting gasket allows moist air to be drawn into the cabinet, resulting in quicker frost buildup on the evaporator coil, longer running time, poor temperature performance, and increased operation cost.

To check the door seal, complete the following steps:

1. Open the door.

2. Insert a strip of paper (a couple of inches wide) between the door gasket and the cabinet flange and close the door.

3. Slowly pull the paper strip from the outside. You should feel some resistance.

4. Repeat this test at 4-inch intervals around the door. If the door does not seal properly, replace the gasket.

6

Installation, Operation and Service Manual Thermo Scientific XBF40 Series Blast Freezers

Installation

4.5 Installing a Drain

Line (Optional)

In normal operation, the refrigeration system will produce a quantity of water that is condensed out of the air and melted off during the defrost cycle. As delivered, this unit routes the water to a stainless steel pan, where it will be evaporated back into the room by compressor heat. An optional drain kit can be installed to divert the water to a facility drain if desired.

This installation should only be performed by a qualified and properly equipped service technician.

To install the optional drain kit:

1. Make sure that the rear breaker switch is turned to “OFF”, the unit is unplugged, and there is no power present.

2. Remove the sheet metal side cover on the latch side of the unit.

3. Place the small end of the tubing adapter into the tubing included in the kit. A drop of liquid soap added to the fitting will enable the tubing to slide on more easily.

4. Locate the clear/white plastic drain hose in the machine compartment.

Place the large end of the tubing adapter into the open end of the drain hose.

5. Route the clear tubing out the grate on the rear of the unit to a suitable facility drain. Ensure that the tube is not kinked or pinched and is protected from traffic and other potential sources of damage. Keep the tube at least 4 inches below the top of the unit’s machine compartment for the entirety of its run; rising above this level will cause water to back up into the refrigerated compartment.

6. Replace all side covers and grates.

7. Start or restart the unit, following instructions in Section 5.2.

The unit can be returned to evaporative mode (the installed drain line can be disabled) by removing the tubing adapter and small tube. In that case, ensure that the end of the large tube is securely pointed towards the evaporator pan before replacing the side panel.

4.6 Final Checks

Before start up, complete the following steps:

1. Make sure that the unit is free of all wood or cardboard shipping materials, both inside and outside.

2. Verify that the unit is connected to a dedicated circuit as per the data plate voltage requirements.

5.1 Temperature

Settings

The factory default temperature setting is -40°C.

CAUTION:

The freezers described in this manual are designed for optimum performance at -40°C. This set point can be changed, but efficiency and effectiveness may be compromised. It is advisable to call

Technical Service before changing set points.

To change the factory temperature settings, refer to the “Quick Start

Guide”preceding the controller instructions.

5.2 Start Up

To start up the freezer, complete the following steps:

1. Plug in the power cord.

2. Before starting the unit, pour a liter of water down the central drain, as shown in the drawing on the next page.

3. The breaker switch is located at the bottom rear of the unit. Switch it to the ON position. The condenser fan will start immediately. There is a time delay before the compressor will come on. The delay is indicated by a flashing snowflake symbol on the display.

4. Set the onboard clock to local time, following the instructions in the

“Quick Start Guide”preceding the controller instructions.

5. Set defrost times to match your facility schedule, following instructions

in the “Quick Start Guide”preceding the controller instructions. Defrost

takes approximately 30 minutes. Recommended maximum run time without a defrost is eight hours; more frequent defrosts may be advisable depending on usage or ambient conditions.

6. Confirm that the snowflake and fan symbols are illuminated on the display and that the compressor and fans are running. Note that the evaporator fan does not run when the main cabinet door is open.

7. Allow the unit to run unloaded for at least 60 minutes before adding any product.

Operation

5.3 Loading

To achieve optimum performance, the unit should be loaded when the display reads -30°C or colder (typically within 60 minutes of initial startup).

The maximum rated load is 90 Liters of room-temperature fluid. Do not load the unit with product that is warmer than 32°C.

The maximum load that can be placed on any shelf is 45 kg, evenly distributed. Do not overload shelves.

The maximum load that can be placed in each removable white basket is

10kg. Do not exceed the rated load of the basket.

When loading the unit, only open the inner door you need to open for shelf access. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary.

Do not load during timed or manual defrost modes.

Do not attempt to move the unit while it is loaded. The shifting weight inside a loaded unit can cause damage or injury.

Depending on product load temperature and duration of door opening, it is normal for the temperature display to show warm-up after initial product load.

5.4 Operation

The unit can be safely loaded at any time the unit is displaying a temperature of -30C or below and not in defrost mode.

Defrost will be initiated automatically on the schedule programmed in the controller. Product may be left in the freezer if desired, but the freezing time will be extended due to the defrost heat load. If necessary, a defrost cycle can be triggered at any time by holding the controller snowflake key for two

seconds (refer to the “Quick Start Guide”preceding the controller

instructions).

5.5 Adjusting Shelves

The XBF40 comes standard with three (3) stainless steel shelves. For safety during shipping, the shelves are secured to the back panel with three (3) screws. To adjust the height of the shelves, be sure to remove the screws first.

The screws do not need to be reinstalled when the height is adjusted. 

If the unit needs to be moved, it is recommended to secure the shelves to the back panel of the unit, using the screws provided.

Maintenance

6 Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Cabinet

The interior and exterior of the cabinet should be cleaned every three months, more often if necessary.

To clean the interior of the unit, use a dilute bleach (10% bleach and 90% water) or alcohol solution. The shelves and baskets may be removed for easier cleaning. Do not expose the surfaces to thinner, acid, or any other harsh solvent. Rinse the shelves and wipe them dry with a soft cloth.

The exterior may be cleaned with any household cleaning wax.

6.2 Cleaning the

Condenser

CAUTION:

Condensers should be cleaned at least every two months. In heavy traffic areas, condensers load with dirt more quickly. Failure to keep the condenser clean can result in equipment warm-up or erratic temperatures.

WARNING:

Be sure to disconnect the unit from main power before cleaning the condenser.

CAUTION:

Never clean near condensers with your fingers. Some surfaces are sharp.

To clean the condenser:

1. Disconnect the power.

2. Slide the front grill to the right.

3. Remove both filters.

4. Use a vacuum cleaner with hose and soft brush attachments to clean the front face of the finned surface.

5. Clean up any loose dust, replace the filters (refer to Section 6.3 for filter

cleaning), and close the front grill.

6. Reconnect the power.

Maintenance

6.3 Cleaning the

Condenser Filter

Clean the condenser filters every month, or more if required. To clean the filters:

1. Slide the front grill to the right.

2. Remove both filters.

3. Gently vacuum or shake the filters to remove loose dust.

4. Rinse in clean water, shake excess water from the filters, and replace the filters.

5. Reconnect the power.

6.4 Manual Defrost

Although the freezer has an automatic powered coil defrost, the entire cabinet should be defrosted at least once a week; more frequent defrost may be necessary depending on room ambient humidity and frequency of door opening. Defrost the freezer manually once a week or whenever the interior frost interferes with use or temperature performance.

To defrost:

1. Remove all products and place in a safe storage location.

2. Turn off the unit and open all outer and inner doors.

3. Wipe inner and outer doors with a dry soft cloth to prevent condensation.

4. Wipe the inner doors to minimize water dropping onto the floor.

5. Let the freezer stand open until the ice and frost buildup has melted. If desired a fan can be directed at the unit to accelerate the defrost.

6. Dispose of any pieces of ice and wipe out any water standing in the bottom of the cabinet and on the inner doors.

7. Close all the doors and restart the freezer.

CAUTION:

When defrosting your freezer, never use sharp or heavy tools such as chisels or scrapers. Damage to the equipment can result. Let the ice melt enough so that it can be easily removed. Wear protective gloves when cleaning the interior.

12

Installation, Operation and Service Manual Thermo Scientific XBF40 Series Blast Freezers

Maintenance

If there is freezer odor, wash the interior with a solution of baking soda and warm water. Clean the exterior with any common household cleaning solution.

6.5 Drain Maintenance

It is normal for water to collect at the bottom of the cabinet after a defrost cycle. When the water rises above the drain level, the water drains either to a heated condensate pan or to an external drain line if one is installed (refer to

Section 4.5).

After a defrost cycle you may remove excess water using paper towels and, if desired, disinfectant.

Do not allow solid material to enter the drain, as this will clog the drain line.

To help keep the drain line clean, 0.5L of a 10% bleach solution should be poured down the drain every 3 months.

Appendix

11 Appendix

CAUTION:

No user-serviceable components inside unit. All service work must be performed by a properly trained and equipped refrigeration/electronic service technician.

11.1 Theory Of

Operation

The XBF40 is a -40C single-stage refrigeration system with a Dixell controller. Although it has some unique features due to the blast freezing application, the basic operation of the unit is similar to any other low-temperature forced-air freezer.

The compressor is a hermetic reciprocating design with a remote-mounted run capacitor, start capacitor, and start relay. Waste heat from the compressor discharge line is used to evaporate condensate water produced during the defrost cycle.

The condenser fan runs continuously regardless of compressor status in order to provide condenser cooling during the off cycle and reduce the compressor starting load.

To ensure rapid load sensing and high heat transfer the evaporator fan runs near-continuously, only stopping for defrost and door openings. When running the fan forces cold air from the evaporator coil into the front part of the cabinet where it is directed downwards over the load before being pulled under the internal cabinet wall and directed up the rear of the unit to be cooled and distributed again. If the cabinet contents block this return air slot the airflow will be reduced and freezing performance will degrade.

The controller has an onboard real-time clock that is used to trigger defrost cycles. Up to 6 automatic defrosts can be programmed per day. The factory default is 3 with one occurring every 8 hours. Depending on the ambient humidity, number of door openings, and type of application more or fewer defrost cycles may be required to maintain performance. When the defrost cycle starts the compressor and evaporator fan turn off and electric heaters on the evaporator and drain tube are energized; melted water will drain from the evaporator into an evaporating pan in the base of the unit.

The defrost cycle will terminate when the programmed defrost time has elapsed or when the evaporator temperature probe reaches its programmed termination temperature. A bimetallic temperature safety switch is installed in the evaporator enclosure to prevent an overheat condition in the event of a control failure or programming fault.The evaporator fan and defrost heaters are powered through a cable that runs up the outside rear of the cabinet. This cable is protected by a sheet metal guard.

Thermo Scientific XBF40 Series Blast Freezers Installation, Operation and Service Manual

23

Appendix

The controller is powered by 230VAC but switches 12VDC to control the freezer functions. A power supply located on the outside of the relay enclosure provides the 12VDC control power. The compressor is activated by a large 12VDC contactor that is located inside the relay enclosure. The evaporator fan and defrost heaters are controlled by two smaller 12VDC relays located on the outer surface of the relay enclosure. Both the contactor and relays are switching 230VAC that is driving the associated loads.

Refrigerant flow is managed by a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) located in the evaporator enclosure, which opens and closes in response to evaporator outlet temperature. The TXV is adjustable, but in normal operation adjustment should not be necessary.

A solenoid valve between the compressor discharge and suction lines is opened during defrost in order to provide a balanced-pressure condition for compressor startup. Due to refrigerant flow through this valve, it is normal to hear a noticeable whistling noise from the refrigeration deck during the first few minutes of the defrost cycle.

The suction accumulator is equipped with an internal heat exchanger where the liquid refrigerant line is passed through the accumulator before being sent to the expansion device. This subcools the liquid in order to increase system capacity while also heating the compressor suction stream to reduce the risk of liquid slugging.

In the event of a sensor failure or loss of communications with the evaporator or cabinet temperature probe the controller will display a fault alarm and switch to a modified running mode that permits continued usage with some features of the unit disabled. A problem with the cabinet probe will cause the compressor to run constant on, stopping only for defrosts. A problem with the evaporator probe will cause defrosts to terminate based on time only. Although continued short-term usage is possible with either of these faults, the resulting condition is less efficient than normal running and should be corrected as soon as possible.

Two tanks are connected to the compressor suction line through a capillary tube. These tanks hold charge at initial startup, and then gradually release it to the system once the compressor is running. The purpose of this system is to reduce the starting load on the compressor; once the system is running at temperature the tanks are effectively inert.

11.4 Repairing Leaks

Copper tubing joints are made using “Phos Copper” solder which is a high temperature brazing allow needing no flux and with good working characteristics. Leaks in these joints are usually caused by copper to copper or copper to steel contact (rubbing) which can cause a hole in the copper tubing.

Leaks occurring in components such as pressure controls or valves usually must be dealt with by replacing the offending component. Whenever a system has been opened for repair, it must be evacuated to a very low vacuum (50 microns or lower) and the drier must be replaced. Always replace the drier with the same BRAND AND SIZE as originally supplied.

EVACUATION

A refrigeration system’s worst enemy is air in the system, because all air contains moisture. Moisture in a refrigeration system will mix with the oil which has refrigerants in it, and with the added compressor heat, it will or can cause an acid condition within the system. This acid will cause the compressor to eventually to fail. It is quite simple to purge air from a system but eliminating moisture is more difficult. There has always been a tendency with technicians to open a system and not replace the drier after doing so.

Thermo Scientific XBF40 Series Blast Freezers Installation, Operation and Service Manual

31

Appendix

Note

The filter-drier must ALWAYS be replaced whenever the refrigeration system has been opened to atmosphere.

THE VACUUM PUMP

When evacuating a system, there is an initial flow of gases and moisture toward the vacuum pump but, as the vacuum becomes deeper, it is recommended to perform a triple evacuation to ensure that as much as possible moisture is removed. For this reason, a means of speeding up the evacuation process called triple evacuation is required. (See EVACUATION

PROCEDURE).

Always start the vacuum pump procedure with new clean oil and should change it during after the first deep evacuation (while the oil is still hot) and after each evacuation job because it becomes contaminated during the process of evacuation. If the pump oil is contaminated, it will be apparent that the pump’s capability to achieve a good deep vacuum will be compromised. Also, remember that moisture in the pump oil is a mortal enemy of the finely machined surfaces inside the pump and which will affect the life and performance of the pump. It is good practice to change the pump oil after each use, using the dry oil recommended by the pump manufacturer. The pump should be put away in a clean, dry condition ready for the next job.

11.5 Compressor

Replacement

CAUTION:

The following repair procedures are to be performed by qualified refrigeration technicians only.

CAUTION:

Because cabinet temperatures affect refrigerant pressures, never attempt to repair, evacuate or charge a refrigeration system unless the freezer has been turned Off, unplugged, and left open for 24 hours.

1. Proper tools and equipment must be on hand to make a trouble free compressor replacement. Review the discussion covering the vacuum pump.

CAUTION:

Preventing the entrance of air to the refrigeration system and its resultant contamination is vital to the success of any repair procedure that involves opening the system. Be sure to observe all current regulations prohibiting venting of refrigerants.

2. Turn off all power to the freezer and unplug the power cord.

3. Locate the compressor in the compressor deck.

4. Attach the gauge manifold to the suction and discharge process tubes via saddle valves.

5. Recover, and dispose of, the refrigerant charge in accordance with current regulations.

REMOVE THE COMPRESSOR

1. Cut Suction and Discharge lines to the failed compressor.

2. Remove the compressor mounting bolts.

3. Remove the cover from the electrical junction box on the side of the compressor. Label and disconnect the power leads.

4. Remove the compressor from of the machine compartment.

5. Test a sample of the compressor oil. If non-acidic, no backflush would be required. If there is an acid condition (see BACKFLUSH

PROCEDURE) and follow the procedure to backflush the evaporator, condenser, and all of the tubing; the compressor, accumulators, expansion tanks, TXV and tubing that cannot be flushed MUST be replaced.

INSTALL THE NEW COMPRESSOR

CAUTION:

Replacement compressors are pressurized with nitrogen and may only be installed by qualified refrigeration technicians. Also, while brazing in the replacement components, a very low purge of dry nitrogen must be applied to reduce oxidation from occurring during the brazing procedure. Purge the nitrogen through the system or components during brazing and allow it to vent from the open port through the manifold.

6. Mount compressor on base and reinstall rubber feet and bolts.

7. Braze the suction and discharge tubing to the new compressor. Also install any of the other components that may have been replaced if there was an acid condition.

8. Install process tube fittings to the end of the process tubes for evacuation and recharging.

Installation, Operation and Service Manual

33

Appendix

CHECK FOR LEAKS

1. After all the components and tubing has been brazed closed, pressurize the system with nitrogen to 150 psig and check all the joints using a leak soap mixture, if not leaks are detected, purge the nitrogen from the system and wipe the joints to remove the soap film. You now can now start the triple evacuation procedure as explained in the next steps.

EVACUATION

2. The gauge manifold should be still attached to the process tubes; remove the center hose from the nitrogen tank manifold and install an electronic micron meter in line with the center hose from the manifold gauge and the vacuum pump.

3. Triple Evacuation Procedure:

4. Perform a triple evacuation procedure as described; evacuating the system until the electronic vacuum gauge read 1500 microns, then break the micron level with about 5 psig of dry nitrogen and let it set for 5 minutes. Purge the 5 pisg of nitrogen back to 1 psig and then start the vacuum pump again allow the system to evacuate until the electronic micron gauge reads 500 microns, follow the same procedure of breaking the evacuation with nitrogen back to 5 psig. Bleed the nitrogen back to

1 psig and turn on the vacuum pump again until the electronic vacuum gauge reads 50 microns or lower.

5. Close the vacuum pump inlet valve, leaving the pump running and watch the electronic micron gauge carefully.

Note

The vacuum gauge must be installed between the compressor and the pump shut-off valve to perform this check. The electronic vacuum gauge should not rise above 200 microns within a 20 minute blank off.

Evacuate the system following the above procedure; vacuum now should hold or meeting the 200 micron level discussed earlier. If not, then this indicates either moisture in the system or a leak in the tubing or components. Check the system again for a leak, by as described above and then repeat this process as many times as necessary to obtain the required vacuum and holding time.

BREAK THE VACUUM WITH REFRIGERANT AND CHARGING

6. Close the gauge manifold hand valves and the vacuum pump shut off valve. Shut the pump off and change the center manifold hose to the service cylinder of the appropriate refrigerant. Purge the center hose for

34

Installation, Operation and Service Manual Thermo Scientific XBF40 Series Blast Freezers

Appendix one or two seconds with gas from the service cylinder and then crack the refrigerant cylinder valve and the manifold discharge hand valve. Gas will flow into the compressor crankcase.

7. Charge the system to the required data plate amount, this can be done by weighing the cylinder.

8. Remove gauge manifold and seal the fittings that were installed in the service valve gauge ports. Turn power on and begin the run test of the cabinet.

This completes the installation of a replacement compressor.
