5.4 Service & Maintenance
Caution
Installation of Superchiller and service work should only be
performed by fully trained & certified Electrical, Plumbing, &
Refrigeration Technicians.
Warning Carbonator contains CO2gas and water under pressure. De-
pressurise before performing any work on the system.
Warning ALL WIRING AND PLUMBING MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL
AND NATIONAL CODES.
Warning
SUPERCHILLER MUST BE ISOLATED FROM ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY BEFORE COMMENCING ANY SERVICE OR
MAINTENANCE WORK.
5.5 Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Warning
The Superchiller uses a CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) supply. CO2is a
heavier than air, colourless, non-combustible gas with a faintly
pungent odour.
Personnel exposed to high concentrations of CO2gas will
experience tremors, which are followed rapidly by loss of
consciousness and suffocation.
If a CO2gas leak is suspected, immediately ventilate the
contaminated area before attempting to repair the leak.

water jet could be used.
Caution
The Superchiller is not suitable for use in subfreezing
temperatures.
To prevent damage to the water supply line, turn off and drain
unit when air temperature is below zero.
The S8E Superchiller should be located in a well-ventilated, firm, level location close to
dispenser, water and electrical supplies, with easy access for servicing
Ensure sufficient clearance around Superchiller to allow good fresh air circulation through the
condenser – allow at least 200mm at rear and sides.

6.6 Connecting to water supply
Using appropriate tubing and fittings connect a 10mm water supply line from Superchiller
carbonator pump inlet to a filtered, regulated water supply. (See Postmix circuit diagram page
13-15). Installation in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZS 3500.2.
Turn on water supply, check for leaks, adjust water regulator to 172-275kpa.
Open the bypass ball valve on the carbonator relief and bypass assembly until water flows from
CO2exhaust tube; then close the bypass ball valve. For dual carbonators, repeat this operation
for each carbonator.
Caution
Maximum water supply pressure to be 275 kpa.
Normal operating water temperature should be within 7°C to
32°C.
6.7 Connecting to CO2supply
Warning
As carbon dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen; prevention of CO2
leaks is paramount. If a leak is suspected, immediately ventilate
the contaminated area, before attempting repairs.
Connect CO2supply line from regulator to gas inlet on carbonator. (See Postmix circuit diagram
page 13 – 15 for details)
Adjust CO2Regulator supplying Carbonator to 550 kpa.
Turn on CO2supply.
6.8 Filling unit with water
Remove Superchiller lid and fill water bath until water flows out overflow tube.
NOTE: Do not use water supplied from newly installed carbon filter as ice bank control operation will
be adversely affected.
6.9 Electrical Connection
This unit requires a separate 10 amp (Postmix) and a 15amp (Refrigeration) power supplies.
Check the name plate on the machine for electrical supply requirements. Use only the power
supply specified on the name plate.
Warning
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.

6.10 Plumbing the drain and CO2exhaust
The 19mm overflow drain tube exiting from the base of the tank should be plumbed to a suitable
drain, installation in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZS 3500.2.
The 6mm barb labelled as CO2 EXHAUST should be plumbed to an outside safe area.
6.11 Commissioning
Unplug carbonator and recirculation pumps power supply leads from electrical box located
under lid.
Connect Superchiller power supply lead to an appropriate 3 pin socket outlet and switch on.
Compressors, condenser fans and agitator motors should all operate.
When Superchiller ice bank is fully formed (approx. 4 hours) the compressors and condenser
fans will cycle off, but agitator will run continuously (unit has cycled off).
After Superchiller has cycled off, reconnect carbonator and recirculation pumps.
6.12 Purge System
Progressively activate each dispensing valve or Bargun connected to the Superchiller systems until
an uninterrupted flow of soda, water (where applicable), and syrup pours from each dispenser.
6.13 Sanitise System
Prepare sanitising solution:
Prepare sanitising solution in accordance with the manufacturer’s written recommendations and
safety guidelines.
Sanitising BIB System
Remove all disconnects from BIB containers.
Immerse all disconnects in warm water and clean using a nylon bristle brush. Rinse with clean
water.
Prepare sanitising solution according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Attach sanitising fittings to BIB disconnects, if sanitising fittings are not available cut fittings from
empty BIB bags.

7. Scheduled Maintenance
The following Superchiller routine maintenance should be performed at the intervals listed.
7.1. Daily
Cleaning/Sanitising
The Superchiller supplies soda water to the dispensing valves/barguns. To ensure optimum drink
quality and system performance at all times please follow cleaning and sanitising procedures for the
dispensing valves/barguns recommended by the valve/bargun manufacturer.
Checking CO2Supply
Ensure that the contents gauge on the CO2Regulator reads higher than 1400kpa on the dial. If it
does not, then the CO2cylinder is empty and must be changed using safe working practices.
Warning
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always
secure the CO2cylinder with a safety chain to prevent it from
falling over; and use appropriate protective equipment (as
defined in Clause 3.3.2 of AS 5034) to handle cylinders.
Should the valve become accidentally damaged or broken
off, a CO2cylinder can cause serious personnel injury.
7.2. Quarterly
The Superchiller should be connected to a filtered water supply. To ensure optimum drink quality and
system performance, supply water filters should be replaced every 3 months.
7.3. Half Yearly
Remove & Clean condenser filters on the Superchiller. When the environment is dirty and
dusty, the interval between cleaning the filters may need to be reduced. Clean condenser with
low pressure compressed air. When using compressed air always direct air from the fan side
through condenser. Remove all dust and foreign particles from refrigeration deck.
Caution When using compressed air always wear safety glasses.
Check that the water is level with the top of the overflow tube. Add water if necessary.
Open carbonator relief valve to purge CO2 and check leakage, close relief valve after checking.

using a soft brush, rinse with clean water.
Check recirculation pump strainers for accumulation, replace if necessary.
Fill tank with clean water until water flows out the overflow tube.
Switch on power supply and check ball position in flow indicator section of strainer. If ball
indicates flow is less than 5 litres per minute, replace pump.
Commission and purge system as per clause 6.11 and 6.12.
7.5. Sanitisation of Beverage System
To maintain optimum quality of dispensed product each Superchiller and its associated beverage
system components must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitised annually.
Prepare sanitising solution

safety guidelines.
Sanitising BIB System
Remove all disconnects from BIB containers.
Immerse all disconnects in warm water and clean using a nylon bristle brush. Rinse with clean
water.
Prepare sanitising solution according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Attach sanitising fittings to BIB disconnects, if sanitising fittings are not available cut fittings from
empty BIB bags.
Immerse all sanitising fittings with attached BIB disconnects in bucket of sanitising solution.
Operate all dispensing valves until the sanitising solution flows from the valve. Allow sanitiser to
remain in lines for fifteen (15) minutes.
Immerse all sanitising fittings with attached BIB disconnects in bucket of clean water. Operate
all dispensing valves until all sanitiser has been flushed from the system.
