ESUVIUS OWNERS MANUAL
Eco Mode Explained
Eco mode, reduces power consumption and
temperatures inside the machine for longer
component life. It does this by selectively reducing
the temperature of the brew and/or steam boilers,
based on the Eco time set (
"Time Economy"
function in the advanced menu).
The Internal Eco timer starts counting down to 0
when there are no operations of the touch screen, or
anything causing the pump to run. Once it reaches
0, Eco mode is triggered The Vesuvius immediately
come out of ECO mode, if the brew lever is lifted, or
the display screen is touched, if not yet in Eco mode,
then the Eco countdown timer is reset.
ECO mode only operates if the "Time Economy"
option on page 20 is set to a number of minutes
greater than 0. This option is accessed via the
advanced menu.
Eco mode reduces the temperature of the brew
and/or steam boiler by the value set in the
advanced menu option "Economy DT".
If a value
of 80 is set, boiler temperatures will be reduced by a
value of 80C from their set point. Values larger than
80 cannot be set.
If full ECO mode and not just the steam boiler (eco
Steam) is selected, with a typical "Economy DT" of
67 the brew boiler might reduce from 94C, to a brew
temperature of 27C. this would mean the boiler is
effectively switched off.
Economy mode is of very
little use on a brew boiler (home environment),
as the group would cool down and require
significant time to warm up again
.
In full eco mode (both boilers), the display switches
to green when it enters ECO mode
ECO setting is most useful when restricted to
operate on the Steam boiler only. Touch to highlight
"Eco Steam" as below.
If the steam (service) boiler is set to 127
and in the
advanced menu, "Economy DT" is set to 67
, with
an Economy time ("Time Economy" value) of 4. After
4 minutes of inactivity, the steam boiler temperature
will reduce to 60C.
By setting the steam boiler to run this way, you can
walk away after steaming, knowing that the
temperature will automatically reduce after 4
minutes. This keeps the Vesuvius cooler and gives a
very rapid warm up to full steaming temperature.
60C provides optimum energy efficiency and a warm
up time reduced by 50%.
This would allow the
boiler to be ready for steaming in under 3
minutes instead of nearly 6 minutes.
The Steam boiler will come out of ECO mode, when
the brew lever is lifted, the pump runs, or the display
is touched.
There is a further economy setting in the
advanced menu called. "Time to off".
This setting
will switch the machine to standby in whatever
number of minutes has been set (max value 999),
after the machine enters economy mode. This can
be useful in a number of circumstances.
If you don't use the daily on/off timers and want the
machine to switch off if it's not being used
Or
You wish the machine to be on before you get up
and go to work, but your work pattern varies. You
can for example, set the machine to come on at 7am
with no off time and on again at 7pm and off at
11pm. You then might set a "Time to off" of 2 hours
If you are in all day and using the machine it will stay
on. If you have to suddenly leave for a meeting, the
machine will switch off after 2 hours and then switch
on again in the evening at 7pm.
