An overall schematic of the three delivery systems contained in the unit are 
shown in Figure 5. The CO

2

 system is on top, the water system is in the middle 

and the syrup system is at the bottom of the diagram. The CO

2

 system interacts 

with both the water and syrup systems. It provides pressure and carbonation for 
the syrup/water product mix.

A CO

2

 tank or bulk CO

2

 supply delivers carbon dioxide gas (CO

2

) to an adjust-

able secondary CO

2

 regulator assembly that is attached to the tank as shown in 

Figure 3 and Figure 4. The CO

2

 system also supplies CO

2

 to the water boost 

pump, the expansion tank regulator and the secondary CO

2

 tank regulators.

CO

2

 enters the expansion tank regulator and is reduced to approximately 30 

psig to feed holding pressure on the expansion tank. This provides a force to 
work against the barrel pressure when the product freezes and expands.

CO

2

 also enters the secondary regulators. These regulators are used to adjust 

barrel overrun/expansion for various products. The pressure settings for various 
types of syrup are shown in Table 1. Overrun CO

2

 pressure is applied to the CO

2

 

control solenoids through preset orifices and on to the in-line check valves.

From the in-line check valve, the CO

2

 flows into the product line.
