Start-up
PLACING EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION
Before placing equipment in operation, verify that all requirements for roof mounted Remote Condenser Units (if applicable) have been satisfied. Refer to the instructions on installing the Remote Condenser.
1.Fill the refrigeration unit water bath tank with water to within 1/2” (1.27 cm) of the top of the overflow tube.
2.Open the manual water
3.Turn ON the rocker switch labeled “Refrigeration” to begin building an ice bank.
4.Turn ON the rocker switch labeled “Agitator”.
5.Ice will begin to form on the evaporator coils in approximately 2 hours.
6.The refrigeration unit will build an ice bank in approximately 4 to 6 hours.
7.If optional CO2/Water Control Panel has been installed on the refrigeration unit, refer to the installation instructions for operation and testing the circuits for leaks.
8.The carbonation circuits “A” and “B,” as well as the syrup circuits must be checked for leaks and possible cross circuits before turning ON the water supply to carbonator pumps.
9.Turn on main water supply. Set incoming regulator to 55 psi on the CO2 panel; 25 psi for the Model 11M root beer system’s internal regulator (must be lower than CO2 supply pressure). Once water is supplied to the unit, air needs to be purged from the carbonator tank. Do so by lifting press relief valve tab until water comes out of relief valve.
10.Turn on main CO2 supply. Set regulator initially to 90
– 100 psi. For the Model 11 Root Beer system, set regulator initially to 26 psi; it can be raised incrementally to 30 psi if there is excessive foaming.
11.Set
PLACING THE CARBONATION SYSTEM IN OPERATION
1.Open the CO2 gas supply valve at CO2 tanks or bulk tank. Adjust the CO2 pressure to 90 psi (6.2 bar).
2.Open relief valve on top of the carbonator tank for 4 seconds to bleed off air in tank.
3.Turn ON the water supply to unit.
4.Turn ON the switch labeled “Carbonator Pump”. Allow carbonator to run and cycle OFF.
5.Activate all valves until a smooth, continuous flow or carbonated water and
6.Turn ON switch labeled “Circulator”.
7.Allow at least 1 hour before proceeding to calibration instructions. You may complete the sanitizing instructions during this period.
Equipment Setup and Close Procedure
EQUIPMENT SETUP PROCEDURE
1.Ensure that all valve nozzles are attached to the valves.
2.Observe pressure of CO2 high pressure tank of
500 psi (34 bar) or more, or bulk CO2 tank of 150 psi or more. Primary regulator set at 90 psi (6 bar) and the secondary regulator set at 35 psi (2.4 bar).
3.Observe the control panel to verify that all pressure gauges are set at correct operating pressures.
4.Check the syrup tanks to make sure a sufficient number of tanks are connected in series to satisfy business volume.
5.Clean syrup inlet and outlet quick disconnects at the same time tanks are replaced. Rinse disconnects in clean potable water.
EQUIPMENT CLOSE PROCEDURE
1.Clean the underside of the dispensing tower around the nozzle area with a clean damp towel.
2.Pour at least 60 oz (1.8 liters) of warm water down the drain openings.
