to questions that arise during installation, operation, service and maintenance, or troubleshooting this
Cooling Unit.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This section gives the description and theory of operation for the UCGR Glycol Cooling Unit (hereafter referred
to as a Cooling Unit).
COOLING UNIT DESCRIPTION
The UCGR Glycol Cooling Unit consists basically of a refrigeration system with a 1/2 horsepower compressor, a
refrigerated glycol holding tank to cool the glycol/water solution, and a glycol circulating pump to circulate cold
glycol/water solution (coolant) out and back through the dairy products system.
Food grade propylene glycol antifreeze/water solution (coolant) is cooled by the Cooling Unit and is circulated
through the glycol lines to each freezer. The glycol lines and the dairy product mix lines are covered with
insulation and the dairy product mix lines are kept cool by the glycol lines. Direction of glycol (coolant) flow is
from the Cooling Unit glycol tank, through glycol circulating pump, out through glycol feed line to each freezer,
and back through glycol return line to the Cooling Unit.

110622Installation Instructions1
The product tubing, cement and tape for sheath splices, and vinyl tape will not be shipped with the unit. It must
be supplied by the parent product company. The insulation and cooling lines must be assembled by qualified
personnel only.
SELECTING COOLING UNIT LOCATION
Locate Cooling Unit so the following requirements are satisfied.
IMPORTANT: Ambient temperature for Cooling Unit must not exceed 100° F. Several means are
available to achieve proper ambient temperature and air circulation around the Cooling Unit which are
wall air intake grilles and ceiling exhaust fans, air conditioning, etc. Check local codes.
1. Cooling Unit must be installed near a properly grounded electrical outlet with proper electrical requirements
fused at 20-amps (‘‘slow-blow’’) or circuit connected through an equivalent HACR circuit breaker. No other
electrical equipment should be connected to this circuit. ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING MUST CONFORM TO
NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
Note: circulating air, required to cool the refrigeration condenser coil, is drawn in through a grille on
the front and is exhausted out through grille on top of the hood. Restricting air in and out of the
Cooling Unit will decrease it’s cooling efficiency.
70622
Page 11
2. A minimum of 15-inches clearance must be maintained above the Cooling Unit to the nearest obstruction
(shelf, cupboard, ceiling, etc.). The front grille of the Cooling Unit must be unobstructed to allow air to enter
the hood.
INSTALLING SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: To insure maximum heat transfer and cooling of dairy product line:
U-BEND FITTING (item 4) should be positioned as close as possible to the inlet on the freezer. The
coolant circulating lines should be held in contact with the dairy product line by spiral wrapping them
in place with vinyl tape (one turn every six to twelve inches). To meet National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF) approval, the ends of the RUBATEX INSULATION (item 8) must be taped closed around the dairy
product and coolant circulating lines. It is important that NO circulating room air come in contact with
the glycol coolant lines. Therefore the coolant truck line must be
completely sealed
PLACING COOLING UNIT IN OPERATING LOCATION
1. Place Cooling Unit in operating location meeting requirements of SELECTING COOLING UNIT
LOCATION.
2. Install SWIVEL NUT (Item 4) and NIPPLE
(item 5) on end of glycol feed line. Secure connection with TUBING CLAMP (Item 3).
3. Connect glycol feed line, with swivel nut on its end, to 3/8-flare (5/8-18) male outlet fitting on Cooling Unit
glycol circulating pump. Seal connection with TAPERED GASKET, BLACK (Item 6).
4. Connect glycol return line to barbed fitting in end of glycol return line protruding out front of Cooling Unit.
Secure connection with TUBING CLAMP (Item 3).
FILLING COOLING UNIT TANK WITH FOOD GRADE PROPYLENE
GLYCOL-TYPE ANTIFREEZE
WARNING: Use food grade propylene glycol-type anti-freeze such as Cornelius P/N
111521000 or equivalent only! Use of other than food grade propylene glycol-type
anti-freeze such as ethylene glycol (automotive) type anti-freeze in Cooling Unit glycol tank
and circulating system will create a health hazard.
1. Loosen screw securing Cooling Unit hood, then lift hood straight up to remove.
2. Remove plug from drop-in refrigeration assembly platform glycol fill hole.
3. Fill Cooling Unit tank with coolant made up of a 1 to 1 ‘‘ratio’’ of FOOD GRADE PROPYLENE
GLYCOL-TYPE ANTI-FREEZE and water solution (coolant) until coolant runs out of overflow notch in top
front corner of tank. This coolant mixture when checked with a hydrometer will read -28° F. USE
LOW-MINERAL CONTENT WATER WHERE A LOCAL WATER PROBLEM EXISTS.
MAKE SURE GLYCOL TANK IS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH COOLANT BEFORE STARTING
COOLING UNIT.
STARTING COOLING UNIT REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
WARNING: The Cooling Unit must be electrically grounded to prevent possible fatal
electrical shock or serious injury to personnel. The Cooling Unit power cord is equipped
with a three-prong plug. If a three-hole (grounded) electrical outlet is not available, use an
approved method to ground the unit.
80622
Page 12
1. Make sure glycol circulating pump power switch on side of Cooling Unit (see Figure 2) is in ‘‘OFF’’ (down)
position.
2. Plug Cooling Unit power cord into (refer to WARNING note) properly grounded electrical outlet with proper
electrical requirements. ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO
THIS CIRCUIT.
3. Allow Cooling Unit refrigeration system to operate for two hours, then check temperature of coolant. If
coolant temperature has not dropped to 26° F to 28° F, temperature control thermostat will have to be
adjusted as instructed.
STARTING PROPYLENE GLYCOL ANTI-FREEZE CIRCULATING SYSTEM
1. Place Cooling Unit glycol circulating pump power switch (see Figure 2) in ‘‘ON’’ (up) position to start
circulating pump.
2. After insulated glycol circulating system is in operation, continue adding industrial grade propylene
glycol-type anti-freeze and water at a 1 to 1 ‘‘ratio’’ to Cooling Unit tank until coolant is at level described
when filling tank.
3. Note circulating pump for quietness of operation. A noisy pump and air bubbles in return line during
operation indicates air is being drawn into system on pump inlet side. If pump is noisy and air bubbles are
present, check pump inlet tube connection for misaligned gasket or burr on fitting. OPERATING PUMP IN
SYSTEM CONTAINING AIR BUBBLES WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN PUMP DAMAGE.
4. Check glycol circulating system connections for leaks and repair if evident.
5. Using INSULATING TAPE (Item 9), insulate glycol feed line connection to Cooling Unit glycol circulating
pump and glycol return line connection to Cooling Unit. FAILURE TO INSULATE LINES WILL CAUSE
LINES SWEATING, FROST ACCUMULATION AND GLYCOL TO WARM UP.
6. Install Cooling Unit hood and secure with screw.
