CP-JR Still Water
Chiller System
Description
The detailed stuff: Theory of
operation
To chill the water, the incoming
filtered water is routed into the
chiller then through a water coil
that is submerged in the ice-cold
water bath. The temperature of
the incoming water is at ambient
(room) temperature as it enters the
water coil. As the incoming water
passes through the water coil the
heat is removed from the water and
chilled to a temperature acceptable
for a quality drink (34-40 degrees
target).
The chilling happens in the water
bath part of the machine. The
water bath is the sealed upper
area where water is constantly
agitated and a certain amount of
it will be transformed into ice. This
water bath and ice bank acts as
a reservoir for refrigeration only
(none the water in the bath is used
for consumption) so you can have
an ice-cold water to drink. Your
Crysalli unit will cycle itself on and
off as it maintains this ice.
Your Crysalli unit should be left
on even when not in use so it can
maintain the ice bank and cold
temperatures.
The really detailed stuff:
The following will give a
general overview of the flow of
individual circuits and a clearer
understanding of your mini bottling
plant:
An Ice Bank Control (IBC, S0513A)
senses the level of the ice in the
water bath and turns on or off
the refrigeration system. The IBC
has a sensing bulb, cap tube and
controller. The bulb is submerged
in the water bath. There is fluid in
the bulb that expands when the
bulb is covered in ice. This pushes
fluid through the cap tube that
pushes a diaphragm that activates
the switch in an open position to
shut the refrigeration off. Once ice
is dissipated from the bulb the fluid
backs off, deactivating the switch
(closing the circuit) and turns the
refrigeration back on to rebuild the
ice bank. The water that does not
freeze in the water bath surrounds
the Water Cooling Coils and is
constantly recirculating via the
submerged Agitator Pump (S0833).
The Ice Bank Control sensor and
Agitator in your Crysalli unit are
connected to and are energized
by the Liquid Level Control Board
(LLCB, part# S0068-U). This is the
communication center for the
system, telling each part when to
turn itself on or off.
Since the chilling of the water
is via contact time in the pipes
submerged in the water bath,
your system does not utilize any
pumps to boost or push the water
pressure. The cold water flowing
from the chiller uses the pressure
from your plumbing to make it
dispense. If water flow is too fast
from the faucet, utilize the flow
control arm on the side of the
faucet to turn it down. The Flow
control arm in a horizontal position
is wide open. Turning the arm up
or down a quarter position restricts
the water flow down. A full quarter
turn can completely restrict and
stop the water from flowing. On
Push Button valve models, the flow
control is achieved by loosening
and tightening the metering pin
Congratulations on the purchase
of your Crysalli system. The Crysalli
CP-JR-SW still water chiller, with
CR-12FC water filter system are a
configuration designed to dispense
bottle quality ice cold still water at
the pull of a handle or press of a
button.
The Serenity CP-JR-UC-SW and
CP-JR-SW-CT1 units consist of a
condensing unit (refrigeration), a
manual fill water bath reservoir,
water-cooling coil, and an agitator
pump. The unit will freeze over 1/3
of the water in the reservoir/bath
to create a 3 lbs ice block (bank).
This ice bank is responsible for
maintaining a 32-degree reservoir
water temp. The cooling coils are
submerged in the reservoir/bath
water to chill and maintain ice cold
product temperatures.
For proper function the Crysalli
units must have a water supply,
dedicated 120 Volt electrical supply
and free of obstruction around
the condenser coil and vents. The
Installation Kit includes water filter,
connecting lines and fittings that
must be used to ensure proper
operation.
WARNING:
Do not operate or place
a Crysalli unit in a freezing ambient
environment. A freezing ambient
environment will cause water in
unit to freeze and expand, possibly
resulting in damage to pump/
motor assembly, tank, water coil,
water bath, valve(s), etc.
