Brew Tank Fill Tubes: Heat exchangers exit on the left side of the steam tank and copper tubes deliver the
water to the brew tanks. There will be one tube per group.
Brew Tank: Synesso ™ brew tanks are entirely stainless steel, welded internally and externally to be water
tight and thermally stable. Each brew tank has its own temperature probe and element which allows the us-
er to set different temperatures on each group, as well as operate without a group if a serious service issue
arises. Attached to each group is a 3
- way brew valve which controls the flow of water from the group head
to the brew chamber.
Brew Tank Drain Tube: Each group head is fitted with a brass fitting with a copper seal. The fitting and seal
can be removed and temporarily replaced with a short length of tube in order to drain the brew group.
Heating Element: A 2 - leg Incoloy and stainless steel heating element which provides the heat for the steam
boiler. It is controlled based on readings from the temperature probe and also protected by the thermal
overload switches, and will be shut off in the case of over
- heating or low water levels.
Low Level Probe: Detects when the water in the steam tank is very close to the element. The controller
board immediately cuts power to the heating elements, registers an “ STLW00 ” error on the display and be-
gins an audible alarm to alert the operator to the problem.
Steam Actuator Rod: This rod is pushed in when the steam handle is activated. The rod opens the internal
seal, releasing steam through the valve.
Steam Gauge: Displays the pressure in the steam tank. The gauge reads between 0 and 4 bar (0 - 60 psi).
Standard operating pressure is about 1.3 to 1.4 bar at 250° F.
Steam Shut - off Valve: Shuts off steam to the steam valve for safety during field repairs.
Steam Tube: Delivers steam from the steam tank to the steam valve to heat and foam milk.
Steam Tank Thermal Overload Switch: Cuts power to the element if the temperature exceeds 280° F. Must
be manually reset if triggered.
Temperature Probes: Send thermal data to the controller board to regulate the temperature within the
steam tank.
High level probe: Detects whether the desired water level has been reached. Water level is adjustable by
rotating the entire probe to raise the tip out of the water. The tank will then fill to the new set height.
