PRESSURE SYSTEM
The pressure system supplies the pressurized gas to
the kegs at a specific pressure for each keg. This
consists of a high pressure regulator to reduce the
CO
2
or mixed gas pressure from the high pressure
cylinder to 40 psi (2.8 bar). This gas is fed to the
secondary regulators to beer pumps or the optional
blender which may nitrogen with the CO
2
to help
reduce the chance of providing extra carbonation to
the beer. The secondary regulators are adjusted to the
installer calculated pressure, calculated for each keg.
This pressure is calculated to push the beer through
the conduit to the dispensing faucets and flow at a
desired 1.75 oz per second flow rate.
