SECTION 2. INSTALLATION

2-1. INTRODUCTION This section provides the installation for the Henny Penny

blast chiller.

Installation of this unit should be performed only by a
qualified service technician.

Do not puncture the unit with any objects such as
drills or screws, or component damage or electrical
shock could result.

2-2. UNP ACKING The Henny Penny blast chiller has been tested, inspected, and

expertly packed to ensure arrival at its destination in the best pos­sible condition. The cabinet rests on a wooden skid and is then
packed inside a wooden box with sufficient padding to withstand
normal shipping treatment.

To avoid damage to the components, do not lay a unit
on its side if it has a compr essor. If the unit has been on
its side, the unit must be in an upright position for at least
an hour before power is applied to the unit.

Check all components for signs of being loose or dam­aged, and make sure the system has refrigerant.

Any shipping damage should be noted in the presence of
the delivery agent and signed prior to his or her departure.

T o remove the Henny Penny blast chiller from the box, you
should:

1. Carefully cut banding straps.

2. Remove box from around unit.

3. Lift the unit off the skid.

2-4. LOCA TION The blast chillers should be placed in an area where the doors can

be opened, for loading and unloading, without interruption. For
proper operation and door closure, the cabinet must be level.

When placing models BFR/BCR-350 in a location, take into
account the effect the cooling temperatures will have on the floor
surface (ex: temperature rentention, condensatin under the flooring,
frost, etc.). Damage to the floor could result.

For maximum efficiency , if the air temperature of the premises
is more than 100° F (38° C), the room should have adequate
ventilation, taking into account for the heat emitted by the unit.

2-8. DE-ICING AND CLEANING
WATER DRAINAGE

2-9. REMOTE CONDENSING
UNITS INFORMATION

A floor trench, located in front of the door is recommended, with a
floor drain nearby , because of the quantity of water used in
cleaning.

For sanitary reasons, do not install a drain in the floor of the
blast chiller.

To ensure proper performance:

• When sizing a single condensing system for multiple blast chill-

ers, the total BTU’ s of all blast chillers should be considered

• An evaporator pressure regulator is required for combinations of

freezers and chillers on the same system

• Do not install a single condensing unit for more than 1 blast

freezer if they are to operate simultaneously; always install
separate condensing units for each blast freezer

• In addition to the compressor, condenser , and receiver, the unit

should be fitted with:

- low ambiant control

- high pressure, pressure controller

- automatic pump-down controller

- drier

- sight glass

- line

- insulation and refrigeration load

• Depending upon the ratings, the installation of a separate oil

separator, liquid valve, suction trap, etc, is also recommended

• Remote condensing unit compressors for blast chillers can be of

any type, but blast freezers, or blast chiller/freezers must use
semi-hermetic compressors, not hermetic

• Local area climate and codes help in detemining the size of the

condensing unit; use the maximum average temperature of the
summer, not the hottest temperature, or the unit will be over ­sized and over-priced for only a couple of weeks of hot
weather

• The condensing unit should have a separate electrical line

protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of the proper rating

505 2-7

UNITS INFORMATION
(Continued)

Model BCC/BCR-140, BCC/BCR-175, BFR/BCR-350

T ake into account the pressure drops when determing the length
of the refrigeration line between the condensing unit and the blast
chiller/freezer . The refrigeration specifications given by the
manuafacturer for the blast chiller/freezers work properly with a
maximum length of 50 feet (15 m) and 13 feet (4 m) high
between the condensing unit and blast chiller/freezer . Beyond
this distance, a more powerful condensing unit will be needed.

To ensure proper operation, check for leaks on the
refrigeration system befor e leaving the installation.

Check the settings and correct operation of the saftey
devices on the condensing unit.

Installing Condensing Unit Outdoors

• Use a unit with bodywork designed for exterior installations, or

place the unit where it is protected from the elements (rain, sun,
etc.)

• Place the unit so the air flow is not against the prevailing winds

• Observe the minimum distances between the unit and nearby

walls, especially where the condenser is located and for
technical access

Installing Condensing Unit Indoors

• Preferably the remote condenser should be outdoors, or water-

cooled, connected to a chilling tower

• For air condensation units, make sure the ventilation can

dissipate the heat well enough to operate within the range of
temperatures given by the manufacture

• No electrical connection is required between the condensing unit

and the blast chiller/freezer; the unit should operate in “pump­down” mode, being stopped and started by the low pressure,
pressure controller

• Install “traps” on the rising aspiration lines and provide slopes in

the line, so the oil returns to the compressor

Refrigeration Capacities
W e provide refrigeration capacity at two evaporation temperatures.

• Blast Chiller : 0°C (32°F) and –20°C (-4°F).

• Blast Freezer –20°C (-4°F) and –40°C (-40°F). Combined
units (Chiller/Freezer) are basically Blast Freezers.

The remote condensing units have to be selected in accordance with
these two data points. Refrigeration capacity of remote condensing
units have to be equal or higher than the requirement.

Example for a Blast Chiller:
Evaporation temperatures 0°C (32°F) -20°C (-4°F)
Refrigeration capacity needed 17000 W 7300 W

Remote condensing unit A 16900 W 7500 W

No Good

Remote condensing unit B 17100 W 7280 W

No Good

Remote condensing unit C 17010 W 7310 W

Both W ork

Blast Chiller/Freezers start-up at high internal air temperature,
because of the hot food. The condensing unit runs at a high evapo­ration temperature at beginning of the cycle and a low evaporation
temperature at the end of the cycle, when the food is cooled down.

Usually a single evaporation temperature is used when
specifying a condensing unit, because cold cabinets and
cold rooms run at a single temperature. But, blast chiller/
freezers require both datapoints, or the blast chiller/
freezer may not hold product at safe temperatures.

UNITS INFORMATION

(Continued)

Running Range of Condensing Units
Evaporation temperatures, 32oF(0°C)/-4oF(-20°C)/-40°F(-40°C),
are used for refrigeration capacity selection. But evaporation
temperatures can be higher and lower than these values during the
cycle, depending on temperature, quantity , type and packing of the
food.

The remote condensing unit have to be able to run into the ranges
below .

• Blast Chillers : 45°F (7°C)/-22°F (-30°C)

• Blast Freezers and Combined : -4°F(-20°C)/-49°F (-45°C)

If remote condensing unit cannot run at the highest value of the
required running range, it is necessary to put a pressure regulat­ing valve on the suction line of the compressor unit, in order to
keep the evaporation temperature of condensing unit into the
Blast Chiller/Freezer’s selection range.

2-10. OPERA TION CHECKLIST

Usually the range is on the data sheet of remote condensing units,
and refrigeration capacities are written for these temperatures.

Using a container 4 inches (100 mm) deep, filled with hot water, insert
the Frigiprobe into the water and start the unit in the chilling mode.
Refer to the graph at left.

• The water temperature is probably below 145oF (63oC), so phase
1 won’t be seen. The unit goes directly to phase 2.

• In phase 2, check that the compressor is regulating the air tempera­ture limitation at around -4oF (-20oC). Use P02 information to
read the air temperature, page 3-10.

• In phase 3, check that the compressor is regulating the air tempera­ture limitation at around 32oF (0oC). Use P02 information to
read the air temperature, page 3-10.

• In phase 4, check that the compressor is regulating the air tempera­ture limitation at around 37oF (3oC). Read the air temperature
directly from the display .

3-3. BASIC OPERA TION The Henny Penny blast chillers can chill food products with a

core temperature of 149ºF (65ºC), down to 40ºF (4ºC) within 4
hours (room ambient temperature may impact time it takes
to reach the desired temperature). But, for the above statements
to be accurate, the following conditions must be met:

a. The food product must not be thicker than 1-1/2 to 1-3/4

inches (40 to 45 mm).

b. Meats should be placed directly onto the racks, but products in

pans should be covered if possible. The steam from the prod­uct can form ice on the evaporator, which increases the chilling
or freezing time.

c. A minimum clearance of 1 inch (25 mm) between pans.

d. The best dishes or pans to use are stainless steel or aluminum.

Do not use polycarbonate (plastic) pans. The polycarbonate
acts as an insulator around the food product and makes it hard
to chill.

e. Do not exceed the product weight capacity specified by the

particular model of blast chiller. The BCC/BCR-140 has a 140
lb (65 kg) capacity , the BCC/BCR-175 has a 175 lb (80 kg)
capacity , and the BCR-350 has a 350 lb (160 kg) capacity .

Start-up

1. For the same batch of product (same type of product), load all

3-4. DE-ICING Henny Penny recommends performing the de-icing process after

every 3 cycles and at the end of each day . This eliminates any
ice that may have formed around the evaporator during the Chilling
or Freezing Cycles. Failure to follow this procedure increases the
time it takes to cool the product and may lead to unsafe product.

1. Remove all product from the unit.

2. Close the door.

3. Press to turn the unit on.

4. Press . The digital display now shows d. 01 . The
compressor will not come on, but the evaporator fan comes on
and pulls warm air created by the de-icing elements, across
the evaporator .

5. Allow the De-ice Cycle to run for a minimum of 10 minutes
and a maximum of 25 minutes. The unit automatically turns off
when the evaporator has been de-iced, and reaches a tempera­ture of 77ºF (25ºC).

If the above procedures does not remove all the ice from
the evaporator, the length of time, and the temperature at
which the De-ice Cycle turns the unit off can be adjusted.
See the Programming Section.
