Prevention of Freezing
Unit Freezing
It is recommended that the unit be sited in such a way as not to expose it to
temperatures likely to cause freezing. If the unit is to be sited in an unheated
area, it would be wise to the insulate all the pipe work and provide some form
of emergency heating, which should be controlled by a frost-stat and sited in
close proximity to the unit.
In the event of freezing up occurring, the following action is recommended:
•
Isolate unit form the mains electricity supply
•
Isolated product supply from unit
•
Apply gentle warmth to the general area of the unit and its pipe work
•
Check for obvious leaks
•
Turn on water supply whilst continually watching for leaks
•
Reconnect product supply
•
Reconnect mains electricity supply
•
Observe unit running for a short period watching out for leaks, strange
noises and the any other form of malfunction
•
If no problems are observed, then normal operation of the unit may be
resumed.
Product Freezing
A product freeze up will only occur if the line clean procedure is not followed.
In the event of a product freeze up, the following procedure should be
followed:
•
Switch the line clean to the ON position.
•
Allow the unit to run in ‘line clean’ mode for one hour.
•
Check to see if the lines are still frozen by opening the dispense tap.
•
If no flow is observed from the dispense tap, the unit should remain in
‘line clean’ mode for another hour before checking the dispense tap
again for flow.
•
When flow is observed from the dispense tap, switch the line clean to
the OFF position.
