1.1 VESSEL CONSTRUCTION
The fry vessel is constructed of welded steel
with heat transfer ducting on the vessel bottom
for efficient heating of oil without scorching.
1.2 BODY CONSTRUCTION
Base units come with painted cabinetry or
optional stainless steel. Base units come with 6"
adjustable legs or optional 5" casters. Multiple
units come with casters.
1.3 OPERATING CONTROLS:
"24G" Series Flatbottom Fryers come with an
operating thermostat for reliable temperature
control. Fryers can also be ordered with
Thermatron temperature controller (optional)
and/or boil-out feature (optional-only available
with Thermatron controller).
1.3.1 Principle of Operation
A draft inducer is used to draw air over the
burners for combustion. Air movement directs
the combustion products back and forth across
the vessel bottom by means of a set of baffles,
transferring the heat evenly across the vessel
bottom. Cold air is prevented from entering the
combustion chamber and cooling the oil during
the coasting cycle.
1.4 AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES:
A.
High oil temperature detection to shut
off power to the main burners through
the solenoid-actuated gas valve.
B.
Combustion gas valve includes built-in
pressure regulator and pilot safety.
C.
Sail switch built into outlet duct shuts off
power to the burners in the event of
blower failure.
D.
Optional safety switch built into the
drain valve prohibits burner ignition if
the valve is not completely closed.
