Frequently asked questions

The Flash Chiller is available in both remote and self-contained configurations. The remote configuration allows for the unit to be placed in a separate location from the dispensing system, while the self-contained configuration houses the condensing unit and water bath within the same cabinet.

The Flash Chiller requires a 120 VAC, single phase at 60 Hertz or 230 VAC, single phase at 50-hertz power circuit, and must be wired in accordance with N.E.C. or local ordinance.

Cleaning the condenser coil should be done during non-use periods. Unplug the unit, remove service panels, vacuum or use a soft brush to clean the fins, then use low-pressure compressed air or C02 gas to blow through the fins. Replace service panels and plug the unit back in.
