Taylor-Wharton EasyCarb - Manual (Page 5)

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.
Checking Container
The contents of the EasyCarb may be checked
by observing the position of a yellow indicator
band in the liquid level gauge. This contents
gauge is located on the top of the container, in
the center of the plumbing. It is a clear-plastic
scale with the yellow band visible behind the
scale. The position of the yellow band indicates
the liquid level in the container, and reads Full, ½
Full, Empty, etc. much like your auto fuel gage.
Checking Container
In some instances, you may need to observe
the pressure inside the EasyCarb. The
container pressure is displayed on a round
gauge with a dial/pointer located on the top
of the unit (see illustrations). To be sure you
are observing container pressure, look for
the gauge with a 0-400 psig (27.6 bar/2758
kPa) scale. Pressure in the container will
vary with the demand, but should always
remain between 125 psig (8.6 bar/862 kPa)
and 300 psig (20.7 bar/2068 kPa), which is
the normal operating range of the EasyCarb.
Isolating the Gas
Some EasyCarb models have an automatic
shut-off valve to close the output from the
container if the supply line plumbing devel-
ops a leak. Damage to the fill line or supply
line may result in a gas leak, usually indi-
cated by a hissing noise or loss of pressure.
There are two valves on the container that
should be closed immediately to stop the
loss of gas.
