@johnoneill4029 6 жыл бұрын

Hello , Thank you for this video, My pitco was heating up real slow today, I watch your video and got up in the middle of the night and added more pressure as you done, I actually twisted screw to the max and it seemed to heat faster, I’m hoping tomorrow when I open for Business it works Thank you

Some advice would be highly appreciated! I have 2 pitco 35c fryers and both are burning with yellow flames. I thought it was due to the burners being a bit rusty, however after moving the rust they have hardly improved. Other than the gas pressure, is there any other factors that may affect the flame colour? Many thanks

Once it lights, the flame is good, but then it will go out. Sometimes it stays lit for an hour, sometimes 10 min. Once I tap on the housing again, it lights. Suggestions?

Very good video. I do have an issue with one of my fryers. I have two side by and side and the one works fine but the second one has a yellow flame. I tried adjusting the gas pressure as suggested in the video and I adjusted it to both extremes and all I can get a yellow flame. It is so much flame sometimes that it comes up the air vent on the back of the fryer. What would you suggest to do to fix this problem I am having. Thank You.

@Windycityequip 5 жыл бұрын

So there could be a couple issues. The burners/flame tubes could be dirty with "soot" buildup from a previous air/fuel problem. When this happens, it's almost impossible to get the air/fuel right because the soot is so inhibiting. Could be the wrong orifice sizes (is this a new fryer? or was it recently switched to or from propane?). Or, it could be a faulty gas valve, so even if you try to adjust the pressure, the pressure doesn't adjust as it should. I'd start with a good cleaning, the burners and the tubes. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Sorry for the late reply, sounds like a thermopile that isn't putting out enough mV or a gas valve with a bad coil. If you've already figured it out, please share what it was! Thanks for watching!

@Tattooed-ig8tj 4 жыл бұрын

Sooting is an indication of yellow flame. Usually cause by low gas pressure and incorrect aeration on your burners. Majority of the time it's poor gas burner pressure. Make sure your burner pressure is set the same indicated on the data plate. Good luck

@Windycityequip 5 жыл бұрын

Brian, does the flame come out of the orifice leading into the burner. Like a "candle flame"? If so, this is common. Most likely, you have a gas valve that's bad and needs replaced. If the flames get blown out, you will continually leak gas even with the unit off. And if they don't get blown out, the gas will continue to burn and your burners will fill with soot and be a pain in the ass to clean. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching, and the kind words!

@Windycityequip 5 жыл бұрын

My guess is that your burner tubes are clogged. Shine a flashlight in the tubes that the flames shoot down and see if you can see all the way to the back of the fryer. You shouldn't see globs of carbon buildup at all. If you do, you'll need to clean those tunes first. Once you do that and remove any carbon you see, tell me what color your flames are. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

I have the same brand and (i think) model you are working on here. There is a small pin with a spring that goes in the center of the gas valve adjustment screw. I am going to convert the fryer from natural gas to LP and have the kit already. The kit and documentation say nothing about this pin and spring, is it necessary for LP? I have converted a few fryers over to lp, but have never seen this before. Thanks for any info

@Windycityequip 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, usually that spring needs to be replaced in order to convert this unit to LP. I would probably contact the manufacturer to find out why they didn't send you one in the conversion kit. My guess is that it was an oversight on their part. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Hello! I have a pitco deep fryer that when turned off it popped out like a back fire.. and a little flame stays at the orifice. I replaced combo gas and thermostat. new gas regulator. cleaned the burners and gas pipes.

@Windycityequip 8 жыл бұрын

Is the unit running on Natural Gas or Propane? Sounds like either 1) Your new combo valve is defective or set up for the wrong gas application or 2) your gas pressure is too high and forcing the diaphragm open on the valve. I'm not sure what pitco's max incoming pressure is, but my guess is somewhere around 7" MAX with a 3.5" OUTPUT (Nat Gas) 11" MAX with 10" OUTPUT (propane). Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

@Windycityequip 9 жыл бұрын

Mike Lawson It COULD be the old hose, but not likely. Make sure there is not an external regulator on the back of the fryer or the line that goes to the fryer. If there is one, it could be bad or need to be adjusted. And, depending on your area, might not even be needed since the gas valve has an internal regulator. Also, I HAVE seen new fryers come with defective gas valves pretty often, its not unheard of. But if the fryer is brand new, you should be able to get that replaced no problem and free of charge under warranty. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

I have a Dean fryer that keeps accumulating a lot of carbon build up in the burner tunnels. It seems dangerous because of the fireball that just hangs up at the top. What causes this?

@Windycityequip 6 жыл бұрын

This means that your fryer is burning too rich (too much gas and not enough oxygen). My guess is that your gas pressures aren't correct or there is an internal blockage somewhere that is allowing gas, but not oxygen, to pass through. Do a thorough cleaning of the burners and then check the gas pressure. Are you running natural gas or propane?

@binicib 5 жыл бұрын

I am having the same issue.. It seems as if gas is leaking through to the burners so when the temp shuts off the valve there are small flames at the nozzles which is causing carbon build up. I'm not sure if the pressure is too high or there is a leak at the safety valve

Dean fryer flame very lazy and yellow incoming propen gas pressure is 37milibar .As per unit .Also reduce orifice size but still same problem only in week fryer full of black corbon can u help plz

@Windycityequip 6 жыл бұрын

Propane will always burn rich, but 37 milibar is a bit high. Is that incoming gas pressure or the pressure at the manifold? Those gas valves have built in regulators so if you're measuring incoming, you need to measure outgoing (at the manifold). If that what you did, try turning it down to between 25-30 and see what happens. What is the size of the orifice? With that info we can determine the BTU output. You may have to go even smaller on the orifice. Thanks for watching!

@Windycityequip 6 жыл бұрын

Jose, not necessarily. Most fryers are regulated through the combination gas valve so they actually don't require a regulator on the back (as long as the incoming gas pressure is acceptable). If there are flames coming out of the back, chances are you need to adjust the gas pressure on the gas valve. Either that or there is a blockage/airflow issue somewhere else. Hope this helps.

Depends on your area and the incoming gas pressure to the unit. The fryer gas valve acts as a regulator but the incoming gas pressure can't be over a certain IWC. I don't know that cuttoff off the top of my head, but if you call the manufacturer they should be able to tell you. Ask them what the max incoming inches of water column should be. Hope this helps.
