Water Cooling
Water-cooling is standard on BF2 and BF3 models. Water from an air conditioning
pump manifold can be plumbed into the BF condensing unit and triggered by the 110-
volt supply labeled "pump" or a dedicated pump can be installed. A flow of two to three
GPM is sufficient. Use of water-cooling is not mandatory; the unit will operate with air-
cooling only. If the condensing unit is mounted in a confined area with little ventilation,
or in a very hot engine room, water-cooling must be used.
EVAPORATOR PLATE INSTALLATION
Mount the plates on opposite walls as high as possible to take advantage of thermal
convection. Install the plates with the Wellnut, spacers, and screws provided.
Mount Sea Frost plates with the Wellnut hole
fasteners. Use a template or the plate itself to
locate the mounting holes in the box. Drill a 3/16"
pilot hole and then increase this hole to 3/8". Install
the screw into the plate through the spacer then
tighten the screw in the Wellnut. Push the rubber
mounts into the pre-drilled holes. Tighten the
screws.

SWAGELOK FITTINGS
Swagelok fittings come to you completely assembled,
finger-tight, and ready to use.
Do not take apart the fittings before you are ready to
use them; dirt can get into the fitting and cause leaks.
You also risk damaging the threads of the fittings if the
nuts are removed.
This is a double ferrule system. The most common
installation problem encountered with Sea Frost is the
incorrect assembly of the fittings. Assemble all fittings
as shown in figure 2.
