Careful inspection of all parts when received for
loss or damage in transit is very important Remember, you, the consignee, must make any
claim necessary against the transportation
company. Shipping damage or missing parts, when
discovered at the outset, will prevent later
unecessary and costly delays.
Electrical characteristics should also be checked at
this time to ensure that they are as ordered.
LOCATION
BALLY BCH Air Cooled Condensers are designed
for outdoor installation. A number of factors must
be taken into consideration when selecting a location. Most important is the provision for a supply of
ambient air to the condenser, and removal of
heated air from the condenser area. Failure to do
so will result in higher condensing temperatures,
decreased performance, plus the possibility of
equipment failure.
ELECTRICAL
Wire system in accordance with governing standards
and local codes. Electrical wiring is to be sized in
accordance with minimum ampacity rating.
For ease of identifying the proper wiring terminals,
unit wiring is color coded and terminal block
connections are identified. Electrical connections are
made at an external junction box.
NOTE: FAN MOTOR 2 USED
ON MODELS BCHC08D
AND BCHC10 ONLY
Other considerations include:
1. Distance to suitable electrical supply.
2. Accessibility for maintenance.
3. Local building codes.
4. Adjacent building relative to noise levels.
5. Wishes of the purchaser.
6. Minimum of 2 ft. between units side by side and 4
ft. from wall (front & back).
REFRIGERANT PIPING
The importance of correct refrigerant pipe sizing
and layout cannot be over-emphasized. Failure to
observe proper refrigerant piping practices can
result in equipment failure which may not be
covered under warranty.
BALLY Air Cooled Condensers are supplied
complete with headers and refrigerant connections
sized for connecting to standard refrigeration
tubing.
MAINTENANCE
A semi annual inspection should be carried out by a
qualified refrigeration service mechanic. The main
power supply must be disconnected.
1. Check electrical components. Tighten any loose
connections.
2. Check tighteness of all fans and motor mounts.
Remove any deposits which could affect fan
balance.
3. Clean the condenser coil using a soft brush or by
flushing with cool water or commercially available
coil cleaners.

LOW AMBIENT - WINTER OPERATION
US
C
11/10/06
When selecting a BALLY “BCH” AIr Cooled Condenser
that will operate during the winter, some method of
controlling the head pressure must
be considered. At temperatures lower than 50 °F the
condenser will be oversized, resulting in low head
pressure. This in turn will cause poor expansion valve
operation and unstable evaporator performance. This
may result in unsatisfactory system performance and
potential compressor failure. BALLY recommends the
“Flooded - Condenser” method of head pressure
control.

* Based on temperatures (density) of refrigerant at 0 °F
T o calculate the partially flooded refrigerant charge for specific ambient temps and application
follow the recommended charging instructions supplied by the valve manufacturer.
Since additional liquid refrigerant is required, the
system must be designed to allow enough
refrigerant to fill the condenser as well as the
receiver in order to maintain a liquid seal. The
receiver must also be sized accordingly to contain
this extra refrigerant during a pump-down or when
operating at higher ambient conditions (summer).
Depending on the actual low ambient temp (0 °F
to -40 °F) and application (High, Med, Low) the
flooded condenser pressure control will flood the
condenser anywhere from 70 to 97% full of liquid.
