temperature

One of the most common causees of dispensing problems is improper temperature. Draft beer should be stored at a temperature between 32°F and 38°F. At warmer temperatures, beer will foam.

At temperatures lower than 30°F, beer will freeze. When beer freezes, the alcohol in the beer may separate and cause the beer to be cloudy with an “off” taste.

adjusting the temperature

The temperature control is inside the cabinet on the right-hand side of the evaporator fan panel assembly. You will need a screw driver to turn the adjusting screw. Make small adjustments until the desired temperature is achieved

■■ Colder Temperatures:

Turn the adjusting screw clockwise (to the right)

■■ Warmer Temperatures:

Turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise (to the left)

The condenser fan motor turns off and on with the condensing unit. The evaporator fan motor runs continuously. The fan motors are lifetime lubricated and will require no oiling.

NOTE: Cabinet temperatures lower than 34° will not allow for proper defrosting of the evaporator coil. If defrosting is necessary, turn the control knob to the OFF position until coil is defrosted.

Perlick is committed to continuous improvement. Therefore, we reserve the right to change specifications without prior notice

Moreover, the Perlick DS systems are built with durability in mind. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the equipment is both corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of a busy environment. The robust construction also guarantees longevity, making it a wise investment for businesses that rely on consistent performance.

A notable technological advancement in the DS series is the incorporation of advanced cooling solutions. This includes options for glycol and forced-air cooling, which help maintain optimal beer temperatures from keg to tap. Precise temperature control is essential for delivering the best flavor and carbonation levels, positioning Perlick as a leader in quality control.

Finally, the aesthetic appeal of the Perlick DS series cannot be overlooked. With sleek lines and stylish finishes, the draft systems enhance the overall ambiance of any setting. Whether vying for a contemporary look or a more classic design, there is a DS model that fits the theme perfectly.
