Dispensing System
Syrup at the refrigeration unit is pressurized and pushed through cooling coils located in the
32°F (0°C) water bath and then on to the dispensing valves. The push pressure is achieved by one of
two methods. One way is by applying direct gas pressure (air or CO2) on the surface of syrup stored
in stainless steel syrup tanks (figals) which is then connected to the cooling coil. Another way is to
use syrup pumps to draw syrup out of bag-in-box containers and then push the syrup through the
cooling coils.
Cold syrup flows from the cooling coils and into the beverage conduit where it is then kept cool
by circulating carbonated water to the final point of dispensing. Activating a dispensing valve allows
syrup and carbonated water to escape through the diffuser/nozzle assembly of the valve. The actual
mixing of the beverage occurs as the syrup and carbonated water enter the nozzle. As the beverage
falls from the nozzle, it continues to mix until captured in the customers cup, where mixing is
completed.
To ensure consistent mixing, the dispensing valves are equipped with adjustable flow controls
that react to line pressure changes, opening and closing orifices to keep a constant ratio of
carbonated water to syrup.
