BIPH52/55-MPH52/55 SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES

1.1 Functional Description

BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series gas fryers contain a welded stainless steel frypot that is directly heated by a high efficiency infrared burner system requiring approximately 43% less energy than conventional burners to cook the same volume.

Self-contained combustion chambers (referred to as “burners”) are fitted into rails attached to the sides of the frypot, one on each side. Each combustion chamber is fitted with special ceramic tiles that are heated by the burning of a forced air/gas mixture. The tiles transfer heat to the frypot by means of infrared radiation, providing much more constant and uniform heat dispersion over the surface of the frypot than do conventional burners. Because less heat is lost to the atmosphere in the process, compared to “open-burner” designs, less fuel is required to achieve and maintain a given frypot temperature.

In full-vat units, gas flow to both of the burners is regulated by one electromechanical gas valve. In dual-vat units, each burner has its own valve. All fryers in this series are equipped with 24 VAC gas valve systems, and all are configured with electronic ignition.

1.1.1 The Electronic Ignition System

Inside the Ignition Module

An ignition module mounted in the component box (located behind the control panel) is connected to an ignitor assembly at the burner. The ignition module performs four important functions: it provides fuse

Out to Gas Valve

To Al arm

protection for the 24-volt circuit, provides an ignition spark, supplies voltage to the gas valve, and proofs the

25 V +

burner flame. The module contains a 4-second time delay circuit and a coil that activates the gas valve. Three types are in use. A closed-box design is used in most fryers, but in some fryers built for export the module resembles an interface board. A single dual-spark module is used on

GND

Coil

current production full-vat fryers. All dual-vat fryers use two single-spark modules.

Ignition Wire Flame Sensor

The ignitor assembly consists of a spark plug, an enrichment tube, and a flame sensor.

At start-up, the power switch is placed in the ON position, supplying approximately 12-volts DC to the heat-control circuitry in the controller or computer and to one side of the heat relay coils on the interface board. If resistance in the temperature probe indicates the temperature in the frypot is below 180ºF (82ºC), the current flows through a melt cycle circuit where a timer switch alternately closes for 6 seconds and opens for 24 seconds. If the temperature is 180ºF (82ºC) or above, the current flows through a heat circuit, bypassing the timer switch. In either case, ground is supplied to the other leg of the heat relay coils, which then close electronic switches in the 24 VAC circuit to

1-1

provide current to the ignition module. Circuitry in the ignition module sends 24 VAC to the gas valve via a normally closed high-limit switch (and, in fryers with built-in filtration systems, a normally closed drain safety switch). Simultaneously, the module causes the ignitor to spark for 4 seconds to light the burner. A flame sensor verifies the burner ignition by measuring the flow of microamps through the flame. If the burner does not light (or is extinguished), current to the ignition module is cut, the gas valve closes, and the ignition module “locks out” until the power switch is turned off and then back on. A probe monitors the temperature in the frypot. When the programmed setpoint temperature is reached, resistance in the probe causes the heat cycle circuitry in the controller to cut off current flow through the heat relay. This in turn cuts off the 24 VAC to the ignition module, causing the gas valve to close.

1.1.2 Interface Board

All fryers in this series have an interface board located in the component box behind the control panel. The interface board provides a link between the controller/computer and the fryer’s individual components without requiring excessive wiring, and allows the controller to execute commands from one central point. This standard interface board is also used in a number of fryer types besides the BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series. The information contained in this section applies to

BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series applications ONLY.

K2 and K3 are double-pole-double throw (dpdt) relays that supply 24VAC to the ignition and gas valve circuits, as well as 120VAC to the blower motor. The relays on this board plug into sockets. If a relay fails, that relay can be replaced.

LEDs (labeled D1 through D7) are arrayed around the board to assist in troubleshooting.

1.1.3 THERMOSTATS

BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series gas fryers have temperature probes located on the front centerline of each frypot (dual-vat frypots have two probes, one in each vat). In this type of thermostat, the probe resistance varies directly with the temperature. That is, as the temperature rises, so does resistance, at a rate of approximately 2 ohms for every 1º F. Circuitry in the controller monitors the probe resistance and controls burner firing when the resistance exceeds or falls below programmed temperatures (setpoints). The temperatures are programmed by means of a keypad on the face of the controller.

BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series fryers are also equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event that the fryer fails to properly control the oil temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer from overheating to the flash point. The high-limit thermostat acts as a normally closed power switch that opens when exposed to temperatures above 425ºF to 450ºF (218ºC to 232ºC). The different types of thermostats have different part numbers for CE and Non-CE models, and are not interchangeable.

1.2 Accessing Fryers for Servicing

DANGER

Moving a fryer filled with oil may cause spilling or splattering of the hot liquid.

Follow the draining instructions in Chapter 4 of the BIPH52/55-MPH52/55 Installation

and Operation manual (P/N 819-6087) before attempting to relocate a fryer for

servicing.

1. Shut off the gas supply to the unit. Unplug the power cords. Disconnect the unit from the gas

supply.

1-4

2. Remove any attached restraining devices and relocate the fryer for service accessibility.

3. After servicing is complete, reconnect the unit to the gas supply, reattach restraining devices, and plug in the electrical cords. NOTE: To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fryer

and hood, the electrical plug for the 120-volt line, which powers the hood, must be fully engaged and locked in its pin and sleeve socket.

1.3 Cleaning the Gas Valve Vent Tube

1. Set the fryer power switch and the gas valve to the OFF position.

2. Carefully unscrew the vent tube from the gas valve. NOTE: The vent tube may be straightened for ease of removal.

3. Pass a piece of ordinary binding wire (.052 inch diameter) through the tube to remove any obstruction.

4. Remove the wire and blow through the tube to ensure it is clear.

5. Reinstall the tube and bend it so that the opening is pointing downward.

1.4 Checking the Burner Manifold Gas Pressure

1. On non-CE fryers only ensure that the gas valve knob is in the OFF position.

7. Place the fryer power switch (and the gas valve in non-CE fryers) in the OFF position. Remove the fitting from the pressure tap hole and reinstall the pressure tap plug.

1.5 Measuring Flame Current

When the burner flame is properly adjusted, it will produce a current between 2.5 μA and 3.5 μA. Flame current is measured by placing a microamp (not milliamp) meter in series with the sensing wire on the ignitor. This is accomplished as follows:

1. Place the fryer power switch in the OFF position.

2. Disconnect the sensing wire from one of the burner ignitors and connect it to the positive lead of the meter. Connect the negative lead of the meter to the terminal from which the sensing wire was removed.
