SEA FROST BAIT FREEZER
BF1 ~ BF2 ~ BF3
Pre-charged
DESCRIPTION
The Sea Frost Freezer system consists of several parts: The cold plates or wrapped box liner (hidden cooling coils), a refrigerant control valve, copper connecting lines, a receiver filter drier with sight glass, a compressor / condensing unit and a thermostat.
OPERATION
With the thermostat in the “on” position, the compressor, fan, and pump (if equipped) will operate. Ten minutes after starting the compressor the area near the valve or the top of a hidden coil box will begin to cool and frost.
If you do not observe cooling, with the compressor and fan running, switch off the unit to avoid damage.
Within a few minutes of starting the Bait Freezer, the tubing in close proximity to the valve and the valve itself will be noticeably cold. (If after 20 minutes of operation the cooling in this area is not observed, do not continue to operate the system.)
After several hours, the box temperature will cool to well below freezing.
The first plate or the top section of a wrapped box will cool first. Because it freezes first, all the moisture suspended in the air within the box condenses and freezes at this plate. Frost is not a good indication of proper operation; check the temperature with a thermometer. When the box and contents cool to the desired setting, the compressor and fan will cycle on and off periodically to maintain the set temperature.
