SHURFLOW TROUBLESHOOTING
Pumping Capability
The distance syrup can be delivered is limited by inherent factors (restrictions) within the inlet & outlet sides of the beverage dispensing system. Due to variances in system configuration and equipment, an accurate determination of pressure drop is difficult. Before deciding on a system’s tubing size, SHURflo recommends estimating system losses by considering the following:
•Syrup viscosity and temperature (coldplate,
•Total syrup flow rate of valve(s) connected to a pump.
•Inside diameter of the inlet/outlet tubing, fittings, bag connector, etc.
•Horizontal & vertical distance of the outlet tubing.
Vertical tubing runs will reduce total achievable tubing run length. To estimate the losses within the vertical distance, use the chart to the right. Take 1% of the distance in feet [3% if meters]. The resulting number is multiplied by the vertical distance. This product is then subtracted from the maximum horizontal distance. The resulting length is the total horizontal/vertical (horz./vert.) tubing run that is obtainable for that flow rate, tubing I.D. and viscosity.
For example:

Distances shown are the results of tests conducted at 70°F [21°C] ambient with a static pressure of 85 psi. [5.8 bar] to the pump. All distances assume a dynamic pressure of 35 psi. [2.38 bar] at the dispenser to maintain brix.
