#8401 QC-100 INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL PG.1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Alto-Shaam® Quickchiller is a processing
refrigeration system designed to rapidly and
uniformly cool hot foods through the "chilling danger
zone" of 140° to 40°F (60° to 4°C) in two hours or less.
Fast cooling minimizes microbial activity, thereby
controlling quality and sanitation in prepared foods.
As a result, a five-day storage life is achieved.
Chill processing stops all cooking activity. This
enables the operator to accelerate additional
preparation sequences. Chilling also enhances the
freshly prepared characteristics of foods.
Quick chill processing of prepared foods provides a
means to build refrigerated inventories of meals in
individual portions and bulk quantities. Chilled
inventories can be withdrawn and reheated as
required. For complete, comprehensive operating
instructions, refer to booklet No. 265, Quickchiller
Operating Procedure Guidelines.
1.2 SCOPE OF THE MANUAL
This technical manual provides sufficient
information for installation and general
maintenance of this equipment.
1.3 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The unit consists of the following parts:
a. Storage Compartment: The insulated food
storage compartment is clear storage area. This
area is dedicated to the rapid decrease of recently
cooked foods and as a short-term refrigerated
storage area.
b. Door: Access to the storage compartment is
through a hinge-mounted insulated door. The door
includes a full gasket to provide a tight seal.
c. Evaporator Coil: The evaporator coil is located in
the storage compartment and functions as the
distribution point for the cold air associated with
the refrigeration system.
d. Cabinet: The cabinet is the enclosure consisting of
the above items.
e. Condensing Unit Compartment: This area
contains the condensing unit(s). Remote systems
utilize a condensing unit located elsewhere within
or external to the facility.
f. Electrical Enclosure: The electrical enclosure
includes the fuses, relays, and relay board.
1.4 EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED
The Quickchiller is shipped from the factory fully
assembled. The complete assembly is palletized
and crated to minimize the possibility of damage
in shipping and storage. The roll-in cart is
shipped separately. See Figure 1.1.
