2. MECHANICAL
INTRODUCTION
2.1 Pump Assembly / Spray Drive Assembly
All units designed to spray, including those with optional whippers, incorporate a
unique refrigeration design that keeps drinks consistently colder at any bowl level.
The beverage is constantly circulated through the pump housing over the cooling
evaporators.
2.2 Whipper Assembly
Jet Spray's optional, patented whipper aerates and whips the beverage before it
leaves the bowl. This exclusive whipping process is the most sanitary in the industry, keeping the beverage under refrigeration at all times, even during whipping.
Each serving is individually whipped and overruns of 35%-40% are obtained with
most specially formulated whipped drink bases.
A simple external adjustment allows the amount of overrun or foam head to be
varied as desired. The patented whipper is held securely in place magnetically and
can be easily slipped in and out of the bowl for changeover from whipped to nonwhipped drinks.
If drinks are not being whipped:
•Make sure refrigeration switch is on.
•Assure the whipper motor runs when depressing the dispense lever.
•Make sure whipper chamber assembly is located in the proper position and
resting flat on a base of bowl.
•Check whipper magnet. It should turn freely, if not, remove impella support
pin and clean all parts with soap and water.
•Check whipper switch for adjustment. If moved too far forward, an air lock
may occur, thereby breaking the magnetic lock between whipper motor and
whipper chamber assembly.
To adjust whipper switch, loosen screw to the right of the switch. Slide switch in
slot to desired location.
NOTE: When switch is moved to the forward position (out towards operator)
whipper motor will come on with very little movement of the push handle.
When switch is all the way back (towards front panel) whipper motor will
not come on, even when the handle is pushed all the way back.
2.3 Whipper Conversion
1. Disconnect power.
2. Drain bowl.
3. Remove pinch tube, bowl, dispense lever, drip tray, switch cover plate, and
front panel.
4. Install washer and standoff into the whipper motor mounts on condensate tray.
SYSTEM DETAILS
5. Install whipper motor assembly and fasten with 3 keps nuts.
6. Wire according to diagram.
NOTE: Use existing cable clamps and wire ties provided to route wires away from
sharp edges and fan blade.
7. Attach new wiring diagram to new front panel.
8. Install new front panel with existing hardware.
9. Install switch cover plate with switch to condensate tray in front of whipper
motor assembly (use 10-32 x 1 1/4” screw and spacer).
10. Attach whipper decal on raised boss of condensate tray where whipper motor
was installed.
11. Replace bowl, new dispense lever, pinch tube, and whipper chamber assembly
and drip tray. When placing the whipper assembly into the bowl, assure that it
is located into the recess directly above the whipper decal. Then insert the 90°
elbow into the pinch tube.
12. Connect power, premix product, and add product to bowls.
Certain products are not suited for spraying,
including products that have pulp and those
that foam. Jet Spray units can be retro-fitted
with circulator assemblies for pulpy or
foamy products.
•Circulator for foamy products #A1620,
including ice tea and coffee from concentrate and some juice.
•Circulator for pulpy products #S6737,
including orange juice from concentrate, fresh squeezed lemonade, and any
pulp based beverage.
There is one thermostat on all of the cold product units. This thermostat is located
against the evaporator coil of the unit. On the JT20 and JT30 units the thermostat is
mounted against the right hand evaporator coil when facing the front of the unit.
The cooling or frost pattern for the JT30 flows from the center to the left then to
the right. Upon reaching a predetermined temperature, the unit will cycle. All thermostats are factory set and normally need no adjustment.
3.2 Compressor
Moves the refrigerant through the system. Pressurizes the refrigerant for heat dissipation in the condenser and ultimately heat removal by evaporation in the bowl’s
evaporator.
3.3 Condenser
Jet Spray (Cold) Training Manual
SYSTEM DETAILS
Dissipates heat from the compressor and prepares the high pressure refrigerant for
the capillary tube and ultimately the evaporator.
3.4 Condenser Cleaning
It is very important to do this on an annual basis and as required. The condenser
can be cleaned with a brush or compressed air. There are commercial condenser
cleaners on the market that are acceptable.
3.5 Filter Replacement
The Jet Spray unit comes with a foam type filter mounted on the inside of the side
panel assembly. JT30 models have a filter mounted inside the rear panel of the
chassis. These filters should be periodically removed and washed in warm soapy
solution to remove dust and derbies.
3.6 Condenser Fan
Draws air through the condenser coils and over the compressor to facilitate heat
removal.
3.7 Dryer
Cleans and removes moisture from the refrigeration system. The dryer should
always be replaced whenever servicing or opening a refrigeration system. When
ordering a dryer, specify model number and refrigerant type (or serial number) to
insure the correct dryer is received.
There are two types of evaporators on the Jet Spray cold products, coil and dome.
It is important on both to remember to keep product above the top of the coils to
insure proper cooling of the product and correct operation of the cooling system.
Sometimes there is an ice build up around the evaporator. This is normal.
When operating a multiple bowl unit, it is necessary to have liquid above the level
of the evaporators in each bowl, this balances the refrigeration unit. Never run with
an empty bowl, fill with water if product is unavailable.
3.9 Air Flow
It is very important to make sure that there is adequate air circulation around the
machine. There should be a minimum of three inches of space all around the unit.
Refer to the installation and owners manuals for additional information.
3.10 Refrigeration Charging
Charging the capillary tube controlled system requires accurate charging equipment and technique. The amount of refrigerant in the system determines the operating pressures and temperature of the evaporators. It is necessary to utilize a
refrigerant scale or graduated charging cylinder when charging the system.
Load, ambient temperature, and operating conditions affect sealed system operating pressures. If the unit appears under charged, check for a dirty condenser. If the
unit is running constantly but not cooling, the problem may be a low charge. If a
low charge is suspected, it is recommended that the system is evaluated and leak
tested.
NOTE: Hooking up a high side hose to a system with a low charge causes a quarter
or more of the charge to backup into the hose. This results in an incorrect
reading. This is why operating pressures are not normally published.
Separate spray and refrigeration switches are located on the front of each dispenser, excluding the JS7, JW6, and JW5. There are separate switches for each
side of multi-bowl models.
These switches can be tested by checking the continuity from one terminal to the
other. They are either open or closed depending upon the position of the switch.
4.2 Spray Drive Motor Assembly
To avoid electrical shock and death, use extreme caution when the access
panels are removed and the power is ON.
The spray drive motor assembly is located under the condensate tray. It is accessed
by removing the front panel.
Jet Spray (Cold) Training Manual
Check to see if the motor shaft and magnet are rotating. Visually inspect the spray
drive motor.
If the power is ON and the motor is not rotating, check for line voltage at the terminal board.
If power is present and the motor is not rotating, the motor will need to be removed
to check for continuity.
Disconnect power to the unit before removing the motor.
The spacing of the drive assembly and the underside of the condensate tray are
very important. Current production spray drive motor assemblies do not utilize the
spacing lugs that are mounted in older units. When replacing the spray drive motor
assemblies it is important to check for existing lugs. If they are present remove as
per the instruction sheet that is included with the replacement part.
Check impella magnet. Impella should spin freely. If it does not, remove and clean
both impella and support pin.
NOTE: Check that the Impella assembly is in upright position, fins facing upward.
Sugar and solids can crystallize and cause impella to bind. Do not allow these
materials to dry on parts.
Bearing in impella could be worn causing impella to scrap the base of the bowl.
Replace the impella assembly.
NOTE: Switch must be OFF when inserting the impella into the bowl to insure
magnetic coupling.
Long pieces of pulp may plug impella and bind the impella blades. Juices with
excessive pulp must be strained in order to spray. If it is desired to retain pulp, use
the Jet-Spray Circulator #S6737 in place of the pump.
With the JS/JT/JWT series, assure that the pump housing is locked into place. If
either of the tabs located on the bottom perimeter of the pump housing assembly
are broken, the pump will not spray properly. With the TJ/EJ/J15 series, the pump
cover should be locked under all three bowl lugs. If any of these are broken the
pump will not spray properly and will vibrate and be noisy. Replace the bowl
assembly or use the Jet-Spray Circulator #S6737.
1.2 Spray Drive Motor
To check the spray power source, remove front splash panel or side panels,
depending on the model, by removing the screws. This will expose the spray drive
assembly. The drive assembly must spin freely. If shaft or magnet rubs or binds,
adjust or replace it.
The spray drive motor must run in a counterclockwise direction.
SYSTEM DETAILS
If the motor is stopped or not up to speed it will affect circulation and temperature
of the drink. Replace spray switch or spray drive motor.
Correct installation and maintenance of the impella is very important to efficient
operation and the appearance of the product in the bowl.
2.2 Breaking Magnetic Lock
The operation of the spray drive motor and impella is simple. The two magnets,
one on the spray drive motor and one on the impella assembly, “lock” these components together. When that lock is broken it creates noise and/or an improper
pumping action. The alignment of the two components is to correct and efficient
operation.
Problems that cause that loss of magnet alignment include:
•Improper product mix
•Worn bearing on the impella unit
Jet Spray (Cold) Training Manual
•Worn impella pin or shaft
•Bowl assembly not correctly seated on the chassis
•Impella installed upside down
•Pumps not being run, allowing solids to settle in the bottom of the bowl.
Both the pump refrigeration switches should be on whenever product is in the
bowl.
3. PINCH TUBE INSTALLATION
1. Remove pinch tubes from the plastic bag and wash with warm and mild detergent or soap.
2. Visually check for cuts or holes in the pinch tube assembly.
3. Wet bowl spout surface and sealing rings on the pinch tube.
4. With one hand, push back dispense lever until it touches the front panel. With
the other hand, pick up pinch tube and carefully insert tube into bowl spout
opening, and into lower handle support spout. Make sure end of tube does not
get caught on edge above handle support spout opening.
5. Push pinch tube into bowl spout opening with thumb. When end of tube passes
beyond bottom of dispense lever support spout opening, pull end of tube for
final seating of pinch tube top into bowl spout seat. Make sure the tube is free
of wrinkles. Tube should extend ¼" below support spout.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
6. Install other pinch tubes on the unit if needed.
NOTE: Do not confuse condensation drippings on the outside of the bowl as leaks.
High humidity causes more condensation.
1. Be sure the gaskets are properly placed in the grooves on the bowl and that
there are no tears or cuts in the gaskets.
2. Check for foreign material around domes where gaskets seat.
3. Check pinch tubes for holes or tears above the pinch off area, or for improper
insertion.
4. Be sure condensate washers are around bowl spouts. Condensation will run
down the bowl spout/pinch tube area giving the appearance of leaks if they are
not in place.
5. NOT COOLING
5.1 Thermostat
The thermostat is pre-set at the factory and will not normally require resetting. The
unit will automatically cycle between the high and low temperatures of the thermostat.
A continuity check of the thermostat will determine if it has failed.
Be sure to replace the thermostat capillary tube to the correct depth in the thermal
well. This is essential to the sensing of the correct evaporator temperature.
The capillary tube well is sealed with a permagum sealant to protect the bulb of the
thermostat from being affected by internal or ambient temperature changes.
NOTE: These thermostats can and often due contain a caustic solution
within the bulb and should be disposed of in a professional manner to
prevent injury or damage.
5.2 Condenser Cleaning
The condenser must be cleaned periodically to insure efficient operation. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the location. No applicable buildup on the condenser fins should be allowed.
1. Turn switch OFF and unplug the unit.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
2. Remove right or left side panel (plus back panel on JT30 model) and clean thoroughly.
3. With a stiff bristle brush or vacuum cleaner, clean condenser. Be sure no loose
dirt goes into the dispenser.
The condenser fan motor is sealed at the factory and needs no lubrication. The
motor can be checked in two ways; check for continuity, and check to see that
power is present at the terminal block or terminal strip.
5.4 Condenser Fan Blade
The condenser fan blade pulls air through the condenser. If the blade is damaged or
is not positioned correctly in the condenser shroud, the blade will not pull or push
the correct amount of air to cool the condenser coil, reducing refrigeration efficiency.
5.5 System Leak
Symptoms of a refrigerant leak include a running compressor with a hot suction
line and the compressor running excessively hot, and an increased amp draw by
the compressor. A sweep of the refrigeration system is necessary to determine if
there is a leak.
If there is a leak in the system, it must be evacuated and repaired by an certified
refrigeration technician. The system must then be pulled down to a vacuum and
recharged with the correct level of refrigerant.
