Getting to Know Your EasyCarb TW-164
What is the EasyCarb? The Taylor-Wharton EasyCarb is a storage and supply system for carbon dioxide gas used in carbonating soft drinks. This system differs from other carbonation system supply sources because it stores carbon dioxide, not as a gas but in liquid form. Liquid carbon dioxide requires less space to store, and liquid containers can be refilled without taking them out of your place of business.
Carbon Dioxide Safety How the EasyCarb Works Cold Gas or Liquid may cause Frostbite. Carbon dioxide is stored under pressure. If that pressure is suddenly released, such as in a leaking or broken pipe containing liquid, carbon dioxide snow and very cold gas will be released. The snow is really “dry ice”; its temperature and the temperature of the surrounding gas can be as low as -110ºF (-79ºC). Contact with your skin or eyes may cause frostbite injury.
The premier EasyCarb is the TCM. The application of the TCM is identical to the standard EasyCarb. The difference between the TCM and the standard EasyCarb is that the TCM needs an electrical power source for the pressure building system. The standard EasyCarb uses a pressure building coil with an adjustable pressure regulator to control internal pressure. The TCM uses an electric heater in conjunction with a pressure switch to build pressure as well as produce carbon dioxide gas.
Operation When your EasyCarb is installed connected to your carbonation system, it operates without the need for constant attention. Your supplier will set the unit’s controls for proper operation. The output pressure regulator setting may require occasional adjustments to meet different soft drink delivery requirements. The other valves and controls on top of the container are used only when it is necessary to turn off the gas flow for maintenance, or if the system is damaged by mishap.
The illustrations show the location of the fill line (LIQUID) valve – yellow, and the output gas (USE) valve – red. If you have a leak or other problem that will allow you to close these valves with no danger from escaping gas, move them in the direction shown in the illustrations until they are positioned as shown. Protecting the Container Do not change any Adjustments or Operate Valves on the EasyCarb.
Trouble Guide High Carbon Dioxide Consumption The following symptoms and their probable causes suggest unusual system behavior that may warrant investigation or service. • STANDARD EASYCARB Frost on the Tank Frost on the bottom of the tank is normal. Particularly during period of high usage. If frost appears continuously, check the output supply line and any equipment attached to it for leaks. If the entire unit frosts, call your supplier for service.
