TROUBLESHOOTING
SHURFLOW TROUBLESHOOTING
Pumping Capability
For example:
The distance syrup can be delivered is
limited by inherent factors
(restrictions) within
the inlet
& outlet sides of the beverage
dispensing system. Due to variances in
system configuration and equipment, an
accurate determination of pressure drop is
difficult. Before deciding on a system’s
tubing size, SHURflo recommends
estimating system losses by considering the
following:
• Syrup viscosity and temperature (coldplate,
re-circ., etc.).
•
Total syrup flow rate of valve(s) connected
to a pump.
• Inside diameter of the inlet/outlet tubing,
fittings, bag connector, etc.
• Horizontal & vertical distance of the outlet
tubing.
Vertical tubing runs will reduce total achievable
tubing run length. To estimate the losses within
the vertical distance, use the chart to the
right
. Take 1% of the distance in feet [3% if
meters
]. The resulting number is multiplied by
the vertical distance. This product is then
subtracted from the maximum horizontal
distance. The resulting length is the total
horizontal/vertical (horz./vert.)
tubing run that is
obtainable for that flow rate, tubing I.D. and
viscosity.
Distances shown are the results of tests conducted at 70°F
[21°C] ambient with a static pressure of 85 psi. [5.8 bar] to the
pump. All distances assume a dynamic pressure of 35 psi. [2.38
bar] at the dispenser to maintain brix.
