PREFACE INTERNATIONAL CARBONIC INC. has enjoyed over 53 years of manufacturing excellence in the field of carbonation and in the beverage related industry. We have had a long and proud history with quality as our standard and innovation as our goal. Originally started just after World War II in Canfield, Ohio as Carbonic Dispensers.
CHAPTER I GENERAL DESCRIPTION This chapter gives the description, theory of operation, and design data for the SPACE CADET REMOTE, (SCR) and related components. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Space Cadet is a complete self-contained remote cooling/carbonation unit which when combined with related components, will produce a variety of cooled carbonated and non-carbonated beverages.

THEORY OF OPERATION The SCR was designed to manufacture and dispense carbonated or non-carbonated beverages much like your local bottling plant that cans or bottles your favorite carbonated or non-carbonated drink. Initially water is chilled and then carbonated to dispense a quality drink. To chill the water the water is routed through a water coil that is submerged in an ice-cold water bath.

At the proper settings, the gas pressure will stop the water from entering the carbonator tank. To force the water into the tank a liquid level control and motor/pump will be used. This combination will force the water into the tank mixing the water and CO2 together. The carbonator utilizes a Soda Jet Recirculating Principle.

If cabinet is not used as a serving station it is permissible to place it in a basement, back room, or any other out of the way place. However, it is important to locate the cabinet as close as possible to the remote station in order to keep the heat loss through the insulated extended lines at a minimum.

The pressure is measured on pounds per square inch and is the reduction in pressure within the carbonated water line between the carbonator outlet and the valve inlet while carbonated water is being drawn. The amount of pressure drop will vary with the length of the line, size of the tubing used, (inside Diameter), the rise of the line, and the flow of the carbonated water through the line, (gallons per hour).
Request a written inspection report from claims inspector to substantiate any necessary claim. File claim with delivering agency, not International Carbonic Inc.! Unpack LOOSE-SHIPPED PARTS. At this time make sure all parts listed are present and in good condition.
LOCATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCR Position unit as close as possible to proper electrical source, 120V 60HZ. Position unit with a minimum of 2” space between bulkhead and cabinet for sufficient ventilation. Allow enough space between ceiling and unit for lid removal. Position unit as close as possible to water source.
INSTALL HIGH PRESSURE C02 REGULATOR, C02 CYLINDER AND LINES (FOR CARBONATED UNITS ONLY) 1. Install high pressure C02 regulator, (S-101) on C02 cylinder using a new seal gasket. MAKE SURE NEW WASHER IS INSIDE REGULATOR ASSEMBLIES COUPLING NUT BEFORE CONNECTING TO CYLINDER. WARNING-: To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always secure C02 cylinder with safety chain to prevent cylinder from falling.
INSTALL WATER FILTER ASSY. (OPTIONAL) 1. Install water filter assembly on wall or other supporting structure. 2. Connect water filter assembly to inlet of valve on water supply line using minimum 3/8" I.D. water line. 3. Connect water filter assembly outlet to SCR plain water inlet fitting using minimum 3/8"...
INSTALL DRAIN LINE Connect drain line on SCR unit with drain using 1/2” I.D. clear plastic pipe or 1/2” copper PVC to nearest outlet. Do not reduce drain connection from cabinet outlet. Be sure all connections are watertight. INSTALL B.I.B. OR SYRUP TANKS AND ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL) Place B.I.B.
CHAPTER III PREPARATION All steps in previous chapters should be understood and carried out before proceeding. PREPARING SYSTEM FOR OPERATION Be sure that electrical power is unplugged, valve on C02 cylinder is closed, and valve on water supply line is closed, and release pressure of C02 gas and water from carbonator tank. PREPARING AND STARTING REFRIGERATION UNIT 1.
ACTIVATE LOW PRESSURE C02 GAS AND SYRUP SYSTEMS (OPTIONAL) 1. Make sure high pressure C02 regulator pressure is 65 to 75 psi. 2. Make sure all B.I.B. racks or syrup tanks are full. 3. Make sure all Q.C.D.,s are in an operational position or gas and syrup quick disconnects are connected tightly with syrup tanks.
CHAPTER IV OPERATORS INSTRUCTIONS This chapter covers operator’s responsibilities for daily pre-operation check, adjustments, replenishing C02 and syrup supplies, cleaning, and sanitizing. DAILY PRE-OPERATION CHECK 1. Make sure high-pressure C02 regulator's pound per square inch indicator is not in shaded portion of dial. If so, C02 cylinder is almost empty and must be replaced. NOTE: This reading should be carried out at normal room temperature.
CHECKING WATER BATH Periodically check water level in water bath. If it is low more water should be added as instructed for maximum product cooling. This dehydration will normally not occur in normal temperate climate zones. With normal humidity the opposite will occur therefore a condensate drain is installed.

4. All connections including cylinder valve should be coated with a soap solution. If bubbles appear a leak is apparent. S. Always be sure that the low pressure adjusting screw is completely backed off before testing carbonator circuit for leaks. Otherwise, gas going into syrup tanks would cause this high pressure gauge needle to balance with pressure in syrup tanks, which would be a false indication of a leak in the carbonator circuit.
CHAPTER V SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE This chapter describes service and maintenance procedures to be performed on SCR units and related components. PERIODIC INSPECTION AND CLEANING Daily: 1. Clean any syrup from storage tanks/B.I.B. racks, connecting sockets/Q.C.D.s and general syrup storage area with warm water. 2.
SCR CABINET MAINTENANCE PERIODIC CLEANING Periodically wash all external surfaces of SCR cabinet, rinse with clean water, then wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE TYPE CLEANERS. CLEANING CONDENSER COIL IMPORTANT: Air circulation through the condenser coil is required to cool the compressor.
6. Use fiber brush and carefully clean mineral deposit from all components. 7. Wash evaporator coil with a mild soap solution. Copper cleans well with mild solution of citric acid (1 cup of citric acid for 2 gallons of water). Stainless steel cleans well with carbonated water.
S-650 S-650A S-200 WATER PUMP, “Y” STRAINER & SCREEN CARBONATOR MAINTENANCE 1. Unplug refrigeration unit power cord from electrical socket. 2. Remove lid from unit. 3. Look down into water bath (if necessary, use flashlight) and inspect carbonator tank for leak. Air bubbles will arise from place of leak, if leak is below surface of water. If leak is above surface of water soap bubbles should be used to find any leak.
SERVICING CHECK VALVES It is not recommended to disassemble the check valves unless it is absolutely necessary. As stated before this necessity would be prompted by earthquakes, disruption of water service, etc. The symptoms of a malfunctioning check valve would be: Water check valve Carbonation through out water supply, i.e., basins, toilets, etc.
REPLENISHING C02 SUPPLY 1. Close empty C02 cylinder shutoff valve. 2. Disconnect high pressure C02 regulator, then remove empty C02 cylinder 3. Install full C02 cylinder and connect high pressure C02 regulator. See installation procedure in CHAPTER II. MAKE SURE C02 CYLINDER IS POSITIONED IN UPRIGHT POSITION AND FASTENED WITH SAFETY CHAIN.
INLET C02 PRESSURE TO CARBONATION SYSTEM SHOULD NOT EXCEED 75 PSI LOW PRESSURE C02 REGULATOR The low-pressure C02 regulator setting can and will vary dramatically from one installation to the next. Variables such as distance from syrup containers to point of serving, horizontal or vertical runs, baume of product, to whether B.I.B.

SANITIZING PROCEDURES Your local health department rules and general area cleanliness should determine the frequency at which the unit should be sanitized. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: 1. Stainless Steel containers (product tanks), or large volume container. 2. CO2 Supply if applicable (Same as used with dispensing unit). 3.
TROUBLE SHOOTING IMPORTANT: Only qualified personnel should service the SCR unit and components. WARNING: To avoid personal injury and or property damage, always disconnect electrical power, shut off plain water and CO2 supplies before starting any repairs. If repairs are to be made to the carbonated water system, bleed carbonated water system pressure before proceeding.
