OPERATION AND CONTROL

SUNWELL DEEPCHILL SYSTEM


I. System Description
The DeepChill Ice System consists of a containerized system (with ice generators,
a pump/control station, chillers, and a heat exchanger inside), an ice silo and a
chilled water silo. DeepChillTM will be generated inside the ice generator and
circulated to the silo. The system is designed to operate with a sea water supply.
The silo will store the ice in the form of an iceberg. Dry crystals are harvested from
the silo and water is added to the crystals to obtain the desired ice fraction. The ice
slurry will fall down a chute. The control panel includes a programmable logic control
(PLC) device to assure the operation and the protection of the ice generator, pump
and ice silo tank.
In the following sections, the operation and the control of the ice generating and ice
delivery systems will be presented. Recommendation on the operation settings will
also be provided. At certain points of description, please refer to the P&ID and
Control/Electrical diagrams in the Drawings section.
The system needs to be configured during the start-up installation by a Sunwell
representative. The system configuration needs to be maintained and checked even
after the start-up installation. The configuration procedures will be presented in later
sections.

OPERATION AND CONTROL

II. System Operating Procedures


Please refer to the nomenclature from the P&ID in the System Drawing section.

A. System Start-Up
1. Make sure the control panel is powered (the pilot light is on) and the
emergency shutdown button is pulled out.
2. Make sure the compressor crankcase is warm. (i.e. the system has to be
powered for at least 4 hours for warming up the compressor crankcase). See
the compressor service guide (provided in the OEM Manual section) for more
details.

B. Ice Making
1. To begin put the Ice Making switch in the On position (the PLC program will
start making ice in the Silo. If there are no alarms in the system, the TP177
display will show the real time clock and the "SUNWELL TECHNOLOGIES -- DEEPCHILL --- " strings.
2. If the silo is not full of ice and the low water alarm is OFF, the Circulation
pump between the silo and the Ice Generator (IG) will start. The pump will
keep running if there are no system alarms (e.g. overload, temperature, level
in Mix tank, etc.).
3. The system will simultaneously send a signal to start the IG condenser water
pump to start and start the IG Agitator motor and condenser water pump.
4. Compressors will start 4 seconds after, if:
The agitator motor, condenser water pump, and circulation pump are
running
There is enough salt in the silo: Default SP 4.0%
Compressor pressures are normal
Silo is not full of ice
5. If the salinity inside the tank is less than 4.0% for 10s the IG compressors will
be stopped. When the salinity inside the silo is above 4.0% for 30 seconds
the pump will stop.
6. Ice making will stop when the silo is full of ice.
7. To stop the Ice Making, turn the Ice Making switch to the Off position. This
will result in the consecutive stop of each device involved in the Ice Making
process. The stop order will be opposite to the one described at the
beginning of the current chapter (see paragraphs 2 to 4 above).
When the salinity in the silo goes above 6.5%, the system will desalinate the silo.
Desalination entails draining cold high salinity water from the silo through a heat

2007 Sunwell Technologies Inc.

OPERATION - PAGE 12 OF 15

OPERATION AND CONTROL

exchanger. On the other side of the heat exchanger the system will pump warm
seawater (about 3.5 4.5% salinity). This process helps retain the energy spent to
cooling the water. In the case where the warm water is chilled too much by the cold
high salinity water the system will have the cold high salinity water by pass the chiller
to prevent the warm seawater from freezing in the heat exchanger.

C. Ice Delivery
Put the Ice delivery switch in the ON position. The system will indicate that it is
ready to deliver ice by a solid green LED on the remote control panel. The
system will indicate that it is not prepared to deliver ice by a blinking green LED
or a solid red LED on the Remote Control Panel. A green blinking LED indicates
that there is a temporary alarm, such as low ice in the silo. The temporary ice
delivery alarm will disappear with time. A solid red LED indicates that there is a
permanent alarm that must be repaired before delivery can begin check the
TP177 for alarm messages.
To start ice delivery press the solid green LED button for 3 seconds. The green
LED button will now be blinking indicating that the system is delivering ice.
The sequence for ice delivery is as follows:
1. Harvester will start and the make-up water valve will open
2. As ice is detected at the harvester the valve for the remote location will open
and delivery will begin
3. Chute water valve will open
This process may take a minute depending on the level of the iceberg.
The delivery process will last until the silo is empty, or the green blinking LED is
pressed for 1 second to turn Off the delivery process.

C. Chiller
1. To begin put the Chiller switch in the On position (the PLC program will start
making ice in the Silo. If there are no alarms in the system, the TP177
display will show the real time clock and the "SUNWELL TECHNOLOGIES -- DEEPCHILL --- " strings.
2. The chiller pump (between the Chilled water silo and the chillers) will start
3. The system will then send a signal to start the Chiller condenser water pump
4. The compressor will start at 50% capacity in 30sec, if there are no alarms
and the temperature at the exit of the chiller is above 8C (the High
temperature alarm this can be set on the TP)
5. There are 3 level of operation for the chillers they are 0 which is off, 1 which
is running at 50% capacity, and 2 which is running at 100% capacity.

2007 Sunwell Technologies Inc.

OPERATION - PAGE 13 OF 15

OPERATION AND CONTROL

6. After the compressor is on if the chiller exit temperature is below the


temperature set point (5C), the chiller capacity will drop 1 level
7. After the compressor is on if the chiller exit temperature is 1.5 above the
temperature set point (5C), the chiller capacity will increase 1 level
The Chilled Water Silo level is controlled independent of the chiller switches. The
level in the Chilled Water Silo will be controlled when the system is powered.

D. System Protection
The system has an auto harvest option to prevent the iceberg surface from
becoming hard. Auto harvest only works when the ice delivery switch is on. If
ice has been stored for 24 hours without being harvested, ice will be
automatically discharged for 5 minutes. The 24 hours and 5 minute timers can
be changed on setup screen #3 (Section I. B. TP177 Screen Functions screen
# 12). On this screen, auto harvest can also be disabled.
The system has an auto washout cycle every 60 minutes. The washout cycle
time is 100 seconds.
Please note that there will be no washouts while the system is in chilling mode
(products temperature is above +4C). When the temperature is lowered below
+3C and the system is entering ice-making mode, there will be an initial washout
cycle performed during 1 min after the ice-making mode is confirmed.
Afterwards, the regular 60 min. washout cycles will commence.

III.Recommended System Settings


A. Configuring Condensing Water Flow
The condensing water flow rate is very important in ensuring the ice generating
systems performance. The requirements for the configuration are provided in the
following.
1. Use a pressure gage to measure the discharge pressure of the compressor.
2. When the compressor starts, carefully adjust the flow rate of the condensing
water and watch the change of the discharge pressure of the compressor.
3. Use the condensing water flow rate to configure the compressor discharge
pressure into the range of 200 to 230psig1. (Use higher flow to reduce the
discharge pressure)

The stated pressure is valid for condensing water temperature below 24C.

2007 Sunwell Technologies Inc.

be drained to eliminate the possibility of freeze-up and damage to the system.

B. Electrical
y The power supply, voltage, frequency and phase must coincide with specifications on all
motor (compressor, wiping mechanism, drive, harvester, pumps etc.) and electrical
panel nameplates.
y Field wiring must comply with local and national codes.
y All wiring should be guarded against abrasion.
y All switches should be of the sealed type, recommended by the manufacturer for use in
wet environments.
y Electrical cables connecting split units should have a watertight cable cover, or should
be run in conduit.
y All wiring should be fastened securely to prevent chafing, and should be clearly identified
by wire marking and/or following the applicable color code.

2007 Sunwell Technologies Inc.

Ice System Installation Pg. 3 of 15

Safety & Precautions

SAFETY

The water supply, which is entering the ice generating system, must equip with a properly
selected filter and/or strainer to prevent solid impurities or particles (e.g. sand or corrosion dirt
that might score wiped heat exchanger surfaces). These foreign matters may accumulate on
the IG inner surface and seize wiping mechanism bearings and bushings, thus overload the
wiping mechanism drive motor.
When the system is not in operation, engage and lock all field on/off safety switches to the
OFF position. This applies to all pumps, electrical motors and compressors. Please realize
that motor starters for the above equipment can be located in various enclosures such as
individual motor starter boxes, control panels, Motor Control Centre (MCC) cubicles or
compartments. It is recommended to turn all the selector switches on control circuits on all
related motor starter enclosure covers (doors) to OFF or, if not available, manual position.
During extended shut down periods when the system is unmanned, it is recommended to put all
the circuit breakers on power lines as well as on control lines inside all related motor starter
enclosures to OFF position.
If the system is to be shut down during the winter, and if the ambient temperatures may drop
below freezing point (0C) when the system is not in operation, the binary liquid should be
drained to eliminate a possibility of freeze-up and damage to the system.

all items listed on the bill of lading have been accounted for.
Inspect the shipment carefully for visible and/or concealed damage. Any shortage or damage
should be claimed immediately with the insuring company. The carrier must be notified in
writing within 3 days with a receipt of the equipment for an Intent to Claim.
Visually check all refrigerant lines for damage. If a leak is suspected, check all joints with a
Halogen Leak Detector.

II. Placing The Ice Generator


Thoroughly inspect the units prior to installation to ensure that there is no visible damage. Use
care when handling units to avoid marring or chipping the painted surfaces. Any damage to the
paint may result in rusting of the surface and must be repaired immediately. Make sure the unit
are thoroughly cleaned and that all packing materials are removed.
WARNING: The Ice Generator (IG) must not be exposed to direct sunlight or unusual air
currents for a prolonged period of time.
Ensure the unit is installed in a well-ventilated area that is not subjected to ambient temperature
below 4C (40F) or above 40C (104F). It should also be away from areas of soot, dust and
moisture (e.g. boiler steam exhaust).
CAUTION: Keep chemicals such solvents, gasoline etc. away from the equipment. They
could cause damage to the system components upon contact.
The IG should be positioned to allow sufficient space:
y For all piping connections,
y For servicing of the compressor and controls,
y For easy access to the electrical panel(s),
y For removing and servicing the IG shafts, and
y To comply with all local building and electrical codes.
CAUTION: Ice Generator is heavy. Always use equipment with adequate load carrying

Piping

INSTALLATION

I. General Guidelines
A. Checklist
All piping should be done in accordance with local codes and must follow good piping
practice.
All pipes should be plumb, level and done in a neat workmanlike manner.
When a pipe is cut, de-burr internal and external edges before joining, to insure smooth
flow for ice.
Inspect all openings for foreign material
Remove all plugs, caps and shipping covers

NOTE:

DO NOT expose the internal surfaces of the equipment to the atmosphere for long
periods of time. Moisture or contaminates may enter the units and cause corrosion
or damage.

B. Piping Units
Pipe clamping should be given an allowance for free movement so as to allow the pipe
to contract freely to the applicable low temperatures.
Piping should be set up to connect all equipment as shown in the piping diagram(s) (P &
ID). All piping material and layout recommendations provided by the manufacturer
should be carefully followed.

NOTE:

If you cannot follow the diagrams, for any reason, please advise the manufacturer,
providing an outline of your proposed piping layout.

All piping should be properly secured, supported and should be sloped to provide proper
drainage by gravity if needed.
Connections on the ice-generating unit are not intended to be used as piping anchor
points. NO external piping loads should be transmitted to the unit.
Allow sufficient space in the piping layout to drain the equipment at the lowest points.

C. After Piping Installation

2007 Sunwell Technologies Inc.

Ice System Installation Pg. 7 of 15

Piping

INSTALLATION

After all the piping is complete, the entire system should be pressure tested. For a satisfactory
system, the installation must be leak tight.
Water pressure must not be greater than 1000 kPa (150 psig) -- check for leaks.
As a further check, it is recommended that the pressure be kept on the system for 8
hours a noticeable drop in the pressure is an indication of a leak in the system.
Adequately insulate all the piping (i.e. ice generator supply the return lines) to prevent
condensation and excessive heat gain. Recommended method is 3/8 thick Armaflex insulation
or equal.

II. Brine Piping


A. Piping Material
For systems using sodium chloride brine, suitable piping materials are:
Heavy duty PVC, CPVC, or Polyethylene or
Stainless steel 316L.
Stainless steel of 400 grade and 304 grade are not recommended because they will rust in an
atmosphere saturated with brine.

B. Piping Accessories
All water sources to the ice generator piping should be equipped with properly selected filter
and/or strainer to prevent solid impurities or particles which may score the internal surface from
entering the ice generator tubes and other heat transfer surface. The filter or strainer should be
capable of removing all sand, weld slag, rust and objects larger than 0.4 mm (1/64)

III.Ice Slurry Piping


A. Piping Material
Piping carrying the ice slurry should have a smooth internal surface without sharp bends,
transitions or obstructions. Suitable piping materials are:
Heavy duty PVC, CPVC
Polyethylene, or
Stainless steel 316L.

2007 Sunwell Technologies Inc.

Ice System Installation Pg. 8 of 15

Piping

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Piping must not be subjected to any impact, load and/or stress as it may
become brittle at low temperature. Socket or flange type connections are
recommended for all joints. Any excessive glue must be removed to avoid
forming a reducing rim inside the pipe. Pipeline diameter reduction is not
allowed in all ice line without the approval from the manufacturer.

B. Piping Accessories
Fittings should be used for ice slurry piping:
Long radius elbow, or 3R elbows (not short radius)
Y connections (not T connections)
Fittings should be used for all welded piping:
Butt weld fittings or
Socket weld fittings
Full bore type ball valves should be used on all ice slurry piping. Butterfly, diaphragm, pinch or
gate valves may be used for low concentration slurry lines. DO NOT use:
8 Backing rings
8 Threaded fittings
8 Globe valves

IV. Condensing Water Piping


A. Water Supply
Water supply to the condenser must meet the specifications for minimum pressure,
minimum flow rate, and maximum supply temperature given by Sunwell, within the project
specifications.
Acceptable sources of cooling water are city water, well water, seawater and cooling
towers.
It is recommended that an analysis of the water be made and an appropriate treatment
system be installed.

B. Piping Accessories
The water supply line should be equipped with an adequate filter or strainer to remove all
solid impurities and to prevent fouling of the condenser.
Where hard water is used, adequate treatment should be provided to prevent scaling.
The water piping system requires an appropriate method of controlling the water
temperature and/or flow rate.

Piping

INSTALLATION

C. Piping
Open outlet water drain is recommended to monitor condenser fouling.
For installations where there are multiple units, do not pipe the outlet connections to a
common manifold this makes it difficult to determine if the individual condensers are
operating properly.

Electrical

INSTALLATION

I. System Wiring
A. Guidelines & Recommendations
Check the supply voltage, power, frequency and phase of each motor (compressor and
electric motors). They must coincide with the specifications listed on the equipment
nameplates.
Field wiring should be done carefully and comply with all local codes. The wiring should
be connected in accordance with the electrical wiring diagram(s).
The power and control wiring should run in separate conduits. In some cases the
electrical fields created by the higher voltage power wiring can affect the controls.
All electrical equipment should be properly grounded in compliance with local codes. The
grounding system should have a resistance of not more than 10 ohms.

B. After Installation
After completing the connections, check for proper direction of rotation of:
The ice generators drive motors
The ice generator circulation pumps
The condenser water pumps
All other pumps and rotating equipment
Before starting the equipment, the quality of the supply voltage and ampere must be checked.
The supply voltage must be within 10% and the phase imbalance must not exceed 2% of the
equipment nameplate rating. Total amperage supplied to the system must meet the minimal
requirement as stated in Sunwells electrical system design notes. If a problem exists, contact
your local electric utility company before starting the equipment.
Make sure all the cables or wires, which are exposed to outdoor weather, are covered properly.
For example, in system with storage tank unit, the cable from level probes to electrical panel
has to be shield.

INSTALLATION

I. System Start-Up Checklist


NOTE:

Unless stated in the section of Operation Notes and Amendments or approved by


Sunwell Technologies Inc., only Sunwell representatives are allowed to start-up any
Sunwell installations.

NOTE:

Prior to start-up, please review all information from the section of Operation Notes
and amendments and System Configuration and Operation to determine the proper
procedures and precautions for system start-up.

A. Before Power Is Supplied to Control Panel...


The "ON-OFF" switch on all panels should be in the "OFF" position.
The existence of proper ground connection.
The settings of the overload protection for I.G. drive motor, compressor, and all pumps.
All circuit breakers and manual motor starters are in "ON" position.
All tanks and piping must be clean and free of debris. If necessary, clean tanks and flush
all piping.
The concentration of binotherm solution (brine).
All field piping and connections have been made as shown in the flow diagram, all
circulation valves are open, and drain valves closed.
All water piping has been pressurized and checked for any leaks.
Compressor valves (suction and discharge valves) must be fully open.

WARNING: Before the power is supplied to the I.G. control panel, be sure that the panel
door is closed and the on/off switch is in the "OFF" position!

B. When IG First Started...


The "power on" light is illuminated.
Check the temperature controller set point.
Check the rotating direction of each motor. The agitator of the ice generator and the gear
motor at the storage tank always rotates clockwise, other motors such as pumps and
gear motor at the mix tank shall rotate in a manner that correspond to the flow direction
and/or attachments orientation. All rotations are viewed from the motors end. If any one

INSTALLATION

of the motors is NOT rotating in the right direction, stop the process and turn main power
supply off. Disconnect the power supply and reverse its polarity. If all motors are rotating
in the wrong direction, then simply disconnect the incoming power lines to the control
panel.

WARNING: Failure to follow the recommendation above could result in damage to the
compressor(s) as a result of the reverse rotation. The compressor must continue
to rotate in the same direction that was initially established during factory
testing.
Check that the compressor crankcase heater(s) are activated automatically when the
power is supplied to the control panel. Check, by touching the bottom of the compressor,
if the crankcase is warm.
WARNING: Before initial start up or after any prolonged shut down of the unit (more than 12
hours) the crankcase heater has to be ON for 24 hours. Disconnecting the
heater or reducing the warming time could damage the compressor!
Check and adjust the binotherm (brine) flow at recommended flow rate.
Check the compressor sight glass for oil level.
Check condenser and brine water flow directions are in accordance with arrows indicated
on the unit

MAINTENANCE

1. IG Maintenance
I. General Information
Preventive maintenance is essential to ensure a reliable operation of the system. In general,
maintaining good housekeeping in and around the ice generator (IG) will pay dividends with
respect to general appearance and reduce nuisance faults. Table 1.1 is a summary of the type
of services and their occurrences.

NOTICE:

The brine solution used maybe concentrated and thus prolong exposure to
brine solution may cause corrosion to many metals, and as such, any
spillage or leaks of salt or brine solution should be swept away and hosed
down as soon as practical.

WARNING: Before the system components are taken apart for inspection, make sure
the power supply, condensing water and brine make-up to the IG is
disconnected and isolated. The ice/brine mixture in the IG tube and piping
should be drained.

A. Mechanical/Structural Checklist

Ensure the shaft belts are tightened.


Check the shaft blades whether they are damaged or running in good condition. If they
are damaged, replace in accordance with Blade Replacement Procedure on Pg. 13 of
this manual.
Check whether the machine frame is free of rust.
Check whether brine is leaking through the drain line (see Fig 4.1, part no. 12). If there
is leakage, the mechanical seal is broken. Replace it in accordance with Mechanical
Seal Replacement Procedure on Pg. 14 of this manual.

B. Daily (Start-Up)

Inspect all strainers and filters and clean if necessary.


Inspect the entire system while in operation. Look and listen for any unusual or change
in behaviour. Particular attention should be given to the V-belt drive of the cooling tower.

C. Monthly

Manually operate the agitator motor and drive. Examine for defective bearings and
replace them as required.
Inspect all shaft seals for leaks. Replace them as required.
Tighten all electrical connections and dust out terminal plates.
Inspect for refrigerant or oil leaks. Repair leaks as required and add refrigerant as
required (consult manufacturer prior to adding refrigerant).

IG Service Manual Pg. 1 of 20

IG Maintenance

MAINTENANCE

Inspect the V-belt drive of the cooling tower to determine whether the washer on the
adjusting bolt is aligned with the adjusting gauge (as during start-up).
Inspect the cooling tower for calcium and debris build-up due to hard water. See local
water treatment authorities for possible solutions, addition of chemicals, and/or the
installation of a treatment bleeder.

D. Semi-Annually

Remove IG shaft and inspect for broken blades, springs, rods, bearings and shaft seals.
De-scale condenser water tubes from calcium build-up using liquid scale dissolver. See
Figures A and B below for an example of calcium accumulation.

E. Annually

Remove IG shaft and reassemble with new blades, springs, rods, bearings and shaft
seals.
Disassemble circulation pump and reassemble with new shaft seals and bearings.

V-Drive Maintenance & Installation

MAINTENANCE

2. V-Drive Maintenance & Installation


I. Inspection
WARNING: The power supply must be disconnected before belt top cover is being
removed.

A. Inspection While Running


V-Drive Noise
y Can be caused by the slapping of belts against the drive guard or other obstruction due to
improperly installed guard.
y Check for an improperly installed guard, loose belts or excessive vibration.
Squealing of Belt During Start-up or While Running
y Usually caused by a poorly tensioned drive and/or by a build-up of foreign material in the
sheave grooves.
y Can also be caused by oil or grease between the belt and the sheave groove.

B. Sheaves
Smooth and Uniform
y Keep all sheave grooves smooth and uniform
y Burrs and rough spots along the sheave rim can damage belts.
y Dust, oil and other foreign matter can lead to pitting and rust should be avoided as much as
possible.
Shinny Groove Bottom
y This indicates that either the sheave, the belt or both are badly worn and the belt is bottoming
in the groove.
y Badly worn grooves cause one or more belts to ride lower than the rest of the belts
differential driving.
Differential Driving
y A sure sign of differential driving is when one or several belts on the tight side are slack.
y The belts riding high in the grooves travel faster than the belts riding low in a drive under
proper tension.
Drive Alignment
y Improperly aligned sheaves cause excessive belt and sheave wear.
y When the shafts are not parallel, belts on one side are drawn tighter and pull more than their
share of the load.
y Overloaded belts wear out faster, reducing the service life the entire set.
y If misalignment is between the sheaves, belts will enter and leave the grooves at an angle,
causing excessive cover and sheave wear and premature failure.

IG Service Manual Pg. 4 of 20

V-Drive Maintenance & Installation

MAINTENANCE

C. Belts
Cleaning
y Belt should be wiped with a dry cloth occasionally to remove any build-up of foreign material.
y If the belts were splattered with grease and/or oil, clean them with methyl chloroform or soap
and water.
Belt Tension
y Belts that are too loose will slip, causing excessive belt and sheave wear.
y Belts that sag too much are snapped tight suddenly when the motor starts or when peak
loads occur.
Alignment
y If drive shafts are not parallel, belts on one side are drawn tighter and pull more than their
share of the load. These belts will wear out faster as a result.
y If sheaves are not aligned, belts will enter and leave the grooves at an angle, causing
excessive belt cover and sheave wear.

D. Bearing
Hot Bearing
y Could be due to improper lubrication.
y Could also be due to improper drive tension either too tight or too loose.

V-Drive Maintenance & Installation

MAINTENANCE

II. Installation
A. Installing Belts
WARNING:

DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS IN THIS INSTALLATION.

1. Shorten the center distance between the driven and driver sheave so the belts can be put on
without the use of force. This can be done by adjusting the bolts on the agitator mount.
2. While the belts are still loose on the drive, rotate the drive
until all the slack is on one side. Then increase the center
distance until the belts are snug. The drive is now ready for
tensioning.

Fig 2.1

Note:

Never roll or pry the belts into the sheave grooves. This can damage
the belt cords and lead to belt turnover, short life or actual breakage.
Moreover, it is both difficult and unsafe to install belts this way.

B. Tensioning V-Belt Drives


1. Reduce the center distance so that the belts may be placed over the sheaves and in the
grooves without forcing them over the sides of the grooves. Arrange the belts so that both
the top and bottom spans have about the same sag. Apply tension to the belts by increasing
the center distance until the belts are snug. See Fig 2.2.
2. Operate the drive (IG) for a few minutes to seat the belts in the sheave grooves. Observe the
operation of the drive under its highest load condition. A slight bowing of the slack side of the
drive indicates proper tension. Excessive bowing or slippage indicates insufficient tension. If
the belts squeal as the motor comes on or at some subsequent peak load, they are not tight
enough to deliver the torque demanded by the drive machine. The drive should be stopped
and the belts tightened.

Brine System

BS-90

I. System Description
It is essential to maintain the brine make-up solution (salt solution that is feeding into the ice
generator) of an ice system at a specific salinity range. The brine system is an auxiliary unit that
make-up and maintains the salinity in an ice system within the optimal operating range. Brine
system BS-90 is an open-top tank type that contains concentrated brine solution and allows the
user to refill at anytime. When the conductivity cell (at the pump station) senses a low salinity in
the brine make-up, the motorized ball valve that controls the flow from brine tank will open.
Concentrated brine will be fed into the brine make-up to recoup the salinity. The brine tank is
used in freshwater ice systems as well as some seawater ice systems.

III. Salt Refill Procedures


Brine tank must be refilled when low salt warning is on the system display (TD 200
display). When the salinity of the brine make up stream is below the preset value, the
control system will stop the ice making process automatically. In order to continue the
ice making process, one must refill the brine tank with salt. Stock of salt should be
readily available for tank refill.
The brine system BS-90 in particular is designed for salt refilling at anytime. It does
not require any system process to be stopped during re-filling. Salt can be poured into
the tank with ease and salt level can be inspected at anytime.
WARNING: Only use high purity and food grade salt. Pellet and cracked types are
allowed. DO NOT use sea-salt or crystallized salt for de-icing.

NOTE:

One full refill of the brine system BS-90 equal approximately 200 kg.

IV. Brine system BS-90 Maintenance


For optimum performance and durability of the brine system BS-90, general
workmanship and tidiness should always be applied. General inspection of the brine
system shall be done every time prior to salt recharge and inspect for foreign objects
and loosen parts.
Complete surface cleaning (inside and outside of the brine system, switch(s) and
valve(s)) should be performed at least once every 6 months.
