4.1.21. Disconnect the two blue water line quick connects on the back of the collection cup.
4.1.22. Attach the collector cup quick connects together and attach the bottom separator 1
quick connect to the heat exchanger quick connect. This will ensure water flow even
if collector cup connections are not re-attached in assembly.
4.1.22.1. Caution if removing the cup in the middle of a run with the pump on this step
must be followed or the system will automatically shut down due to lack of water
flow.
4.1.23. Use caution to support and not to drop the collector cup, remove the high pressure
sanitary clamps from the bottom of the separator 1 with 5/8-in ratchet wrench.
4.1.24. Remove the collection cup from Separator #1.
4.1.25. Collect the oil from inside the collection cup.
4.1.25.1. Note: there is typically residual dry ice in the collection cup mixed in with the oil.
The dry ice will sublimate without any additional heat. It is sometimes more
efficient to remove the dry ice/oil mixture and place it in collection device (like a
Pyrex dish).
