Cornelius R-134A service manual Preparing Unit for Operation, Connecting CO2 Source Line to Unit

Page 18

1.Route syrup source lines from the syrup tanks location up to location under the countertop.

2.Route syrup source lines up through hole cut in the countertop to the barbed and labeled syrup inlet lines on front of the Unit.

3.Connect the syrup source lines to the Unit barbed and labeled syrup inlet lines. Secure connections with tubing clamps.

CONNECTING CO2 SOURCE LINE TO UNIT

(see applicable Figure 2 or 3 and Figure 4)

1.Route CO2 source line up to back side of the Unit.

2.Connect CO2 source line to Unit labeled CO2 inlet line. Seal connection with a tapered gasket.

SEALING UNIT BASE TO COUNTERTOP

1.To comply with NSF International (NSF) requirements within the United States, the Unit base must be sealed to the countertop and all access holes to the Unit base must be completely sealed with a silastic sealant such as Dow Corning RTV 731 or equivalent after completing installation of the Unit. Proceed as follows to seal the Unit base to the countertop.

A.Tilt Unit up to expose bottom of the Unit base.

B.Connect a length of drain hose (not provided), long enough to reach a permanent drain, to drain fitting on back side of the drip tray pan. Secure connection with DRAIN HOSE CLAMP (item 6).

C.Liberally apply silastic sealant such as Dow Corning RTV 731 or equivalent on the Unit base bottom edges.

NOTE: Do not move Unit after positioning or seal from base to countertop will be broken.

D.Route drip tray drain hose down through hole in countertop, then lower Unit into operating position on the countertop to complete seal from Unit base to the countertop.

E.Apply additional sealant around bottom of the base.The seal must have a minimum radius of 1/2-inch to prevent crevices and to ensure a complete seal.

NOTE: Connection of drip tray drain hose to a permanent drain is recommended. Drip tray drain hose routed to waste container is not recommended due to sanitation and cleaning problems.

F.Route lower end of drip tray drain hose to and connect to a permanent drain.

G.Install DRIP TRAY (item 1) in position on the Unit, then place CUP REST (item 2) in the drip tray.

PREPARING UNIT FOR OPERATION

FILL WATER TANK AND START REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

(see Figure 5)

1. Make sure plug in the water tank drain hose is secure.

NOTE: Use low-mineral-content water where a local water problem exists.

2.Remove plug from the drop-in refrigeration assembly platform water fill hole. Fill the water tank with clean water until water runs out of the overflow groove on top front of the tank into the drip tray. USE LOW-MIN-ERAL-CONTENT WATER WHERE A LOCAL WATER PROBLEM EXISTS. When the water tank is full, the water level in the clear plastic water level tube should be approximately one inch from end of the tube.

R-134A specifications

Cornelius R-134A is a refrigerant commonly used in various cooling and air conditioning applications. It belongs to the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) family and has become a favored alternative to many ozone-depleting substances. Unlike its predecessors, R-12, which has been phased out due to its detrimental effects on the ozone layer, R-134A offers a more environmentally friendly solution, albeit still having global warming potential.

One of the main features of R-134A is its favorable thermodynamic properties. It exhibits a low boiling point of approximately -26.3°C (-15.3°F), making it suitable for various refrigeration applications, including automotive air conditioning, commercial cooling systems, and domestic refrigerators. Its efficiency is regarded as superior, allowing for quick heat absorption and dissipation. This efficiency translates into energy savings, ultimately benefiting both consumers and manufacturers.

R-134A also boasts a relatively high vaporization heat, demonstrating its effectiveness in heat transfer processes. The low toxicity and non-flammability of R-134A further enhance its appeal, as it poses minimal risk during handling and application. This characteristic makes R-134A safer for technicians and users compared to older refrigerants, which presented higher health hazards.

Within modern technologies, R-134A plays a crucial role in both chiller systems and heat pump applications. It is compatible with various lubricants, allowing manufacturers to utilize R-134A in existing systems with minimal modifications. However, it is essential to use the correct type of oil, as mixing different types can lead to system inefficiencies and potential failure.

Despite its advantages, R-134A has a global warming potential of around 1,430 times greater than carbon dioxide, prompting the refrigerant industry to look for alternatives. Newer refrigerants, such as R-1234yf, offer lower environmental impact, driving a shift towards more sustainable options.

In conclusion, Cornelius R-134A remains a widely used refrigerant known for its efficiency, safety, and effectiveness in heat transfer. While it has played a significant role in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries, the ongoing search for eco-friendly alternatives highlights the need for continued innovation and adherence to environmental standards.
