3. Start-up and normal use
3.1. Filling PIB
The Packo Ice Builder has to be filled with pure, clear water (drinking quality) up
to 1cm above the top copper tube of the evaporator.
The ice water reservoir may only be filled with water after the
cooling circuit has been made vacuum and put under pressure.
To protect the system an inhibitor must be added to the water before
the start-up.
The PIB can be filled automatically by following these steps:
Step
Action
1
Place the switch “Level control” in position A which will open the water
supply valve.
2
The filling cycle will automatically stop when the required level has been
reached.
3
Remove the cover.
4
Add the amount of 1, 2, 3-Benzotriazol needed to the ice water reservoir.
For the required dosage please check Manual for installation/ operation/
maintenance, chapter “4. Maintenance”.
5
Put the cover plate back in place.
Manual Packo Ice Builders 13
3.2. PIB operation
When starting up the PIB, proceed as indicated in the following table:
Step
Action
1
Turn on the power supply (main switch).
2
Turn on the cooling unit(s) (switches cooling units).
3
When the controls are ...
Then...
Manually
(the ice water pump is controlled by
the PIB)
Put the control switch in position
“M”.
Automatically
(the ice water pump is controlled by
an external source)
Put the control switch in position
“A”.
4
When the ice formation has reached the required level, the valve
controlling the flow of cooling agent is closed and the cooling units are
stopped.
During a prolonged period without ice building (cooling units are not
running), the cooling units can switch on and off for a short period.
5
Always leave the ice accumulator under tension to ensure proper control
of the ice capacity.
