IMPORTANT: TO THE INSTALLER. It is the responsibility of the Installer to ensure that the water supply to the dispensing equipment is provided with protection against backflow by an air gap as defined in ANSI/ASME A112. 1.2-1979; or an approved vacuum breaker or other such method as proved effective by test.

Water pipe connections and fixtures directly connected to a potable water supply shall be sized, installed, and maintained according to Federal, State, and Local laws.

CAUTION: Check the minimum flow rate and maximum pressure of plain water inlet supply line. MINIMUM FLOW RATE MUST BE AT LEAST 100-GALLONS PER HOUR. If flow rate is less than 100-gallons per hour, starving of carbonator water pump will occur. Starving will

allow water pump to overheat and will damage the pump. Overheating could occur if plain water inlet supply line flow rate drops below 100-gallons per hour. CARBONATOR CO2 OPERATING PRESSURE MUST EXCEED WATER PRESSURE BY 10 PSI. (Example: CO2 operating pressure is 80 psi, maximum water pressure can be no more than 70 psi, etc.) Water over pressure (higher than CO2 operating pressure) can cause carbonator flooding, malfunction, and leakage through carbonator relief valve. If water is exceeding maximum pressure specifications, a Water Pressure Regulator Kit (P/N 317589000) or equivalent must be installed in plain water inlet supply line.

Five and Six-Flavor Units (see applicable Figure 2 or 3)

1.Route plain water source line from plain water source up to location under the countertop.

2.Remove Unit front access panel as follows:

A.Remove drip tray from the Unit.

B.Remove two screws securing front access panel to the Unit.

C.Pull front access panel down and out to remove for access to front of the Unit.

3.Route plain water source line up through hole cut in the countertop, up across front of the Unit, to the car- bonator water pump.

4.Install FITTING, 90°SWIVEL ELBOW (item 9) on end of the plain water source line and secure with TUBING CLAMP (item 8).

5.Connect plain water source line 90°elbow to the carbonator water pump inlet fitting. Seal connection with TAPERED GASKET, BLACK (item 7).

Six-Flavor Units (see Figure 3)

NOTE: The six-flavor (see Figure 3) Unit was set up at the factory to dispense a still (noncarbonated) drink from No. 3 dispensing valve and carbonated drinks from the remaining dispensing valves.

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

2.Connect plain water source line to the Unit labeled plain water inlet line protruding out back of the Unit with ADAPTOR FITTING (item 4). This water line provides plain water to the Unit No. 3 dispensing valve which dispenses a still (non-carbonated) drink.

CONNECTING SYRUP SOURCE LINES TO UNIT

(see applicable Figure 2 or 3 and Figure 4)

NOTE: The Unit syrup inlet lines are labeled to identify the dispensing valves they serve. For example, the line labeled “S1” must be connected to the syrup source line that provides syrup to be dispensed from the No. 1 dispensing valve (No. 1 dispensing valve is the valve on the right side when facing front of the Unit).

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.
