Title: Late model frozen Cornelius Coke Post by: johnieG on May 26, 2011, 10:52:31 pm Just got back from a service call on a late model Cornelius frozen Coke machine, & the owner found out the hard way that when you hook up the 1500 psi CO2 regulator's primary side to the 85 PSI max. syrup pumps, they tend to explode...wheeee... :wow: Cherry coke syrup EVERYWHERE! .. :tounge: It looked like a Freddy- Kruger film festival ...
just a though for people that may be interested in hooking up any carbonated soda-fountains in their homes. Please pay attention! to the "gozinta & gozouta" markings on your CO2 pressure regulators..

Wow.. sounds like a big mess! Title: Re: Late model frozen Cornelius Coke Post by: rayg on May 27, 2011, 06:40:28 am WOW, with 1500 psi, they are lucky no one got hurt!
Title: Re: Late model frozen Cornelius Coke Post by: Kilroy on May 27, 2011, 08:55:48 am WOW, with 1500 psi, they are lucky no one got hurt! I was thinking the same thing.

YIKES! :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Late model frozen Cornelius Coke Post by: stuntpilot on May 29, 2011, 06:20:43 am That's a good one! :down: :down:
Enlighten us as to how he accomplished that feat. Title: Re: Late model frozen Cornelius Coke Post by: johnieG on May 29, 2011, 09:09:06 am Easy, He was trying to hook up the second system without the "bother" of using a second regulator, even though the 1st system & it's associated syrup pumps required a higher CO2 pressure of 85PSI & the 2nd system needed only 60PSI ( the syrup pumps in this case have an inlet pressure range of 30-85PSI max.) for some reason ( as explained to me) they didn't have a "T" fitting for the secondary outlet, so they just thought it was a good Idea to remove the tank pressure gauge & attach the 2nd system at that point...and then ...Kaa-blammo
the attached diagram shows the inlet/outlets in the horizontal plain (X) are at primary side pressure, while the outlets in the vertical plain (Y) is on the secondary ( or regulated) pressure.... |
