PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
ICE BANK COOLERS
Lancer ice bank beer coolers utilize a water bath with an immersed copper tube evaporator which forms a solid
bank of ice around the evaporator coil.
Immersed in this water are two stainless steel beer coils through which the beer is pushed by CO
2 pressure.
As the beer travels through the stainless steel coil it is cooled by the cold water bath. An agitator or optional
agitator/pump keeps the water moving, washing the cold water over the ice bank and over the beer coils.
An ice bank thickness control starts and stops the refrigeration system to maintain the ice bank. The machine
should be left on at all times as the ice bank control will cycle the compressor to maintain the ice bank to the
required thickness.
The ice bank cooler will dispense beer between 1°C - 4.5°C, with an incoming beer temperature of 28°C up to
the stated capacity of the machine. The colder the kegs, the higher the capacity of the machine.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 RECEIVING
A. Each unit is tested and thoroughly inspected before shipment. At time of shipment the carrier
accepts the unit and any claim for damages must be made with the carrier. Upon receiving the
units from the delivering carrier, carefully inspect the carton for visible indication of damage. If
damage exists have the carrier note it on the bill of lading and file a claim with the carrier.
1.2 UNPACKING
A. Carefully unpack the dispenser from the shipping carton.
1.3 UNPACKING INSTALLATION KITS (IF SUPPLIED)
A. Inspect kits for concealed damage and if evident notify delivering carrier and file a claim against
it.
B. Each kit contains a list and an assembly drawing showing the correct assembly of the parts.
1.4 SELECTING A LOCATION
W
ARNING
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE SPECIFIED CLEARANCE WILL CAUSE THE COMPRESSOR TO
OVERHEAT AND WILL RESULT IN COMPRESSOR FAILURE.
All refrigeration equipment should be installed to provide adequate ventilation and ease of service.
A. Allow at least six (6) inches around the machine to enable adequate airflow (integral machine
only). The chiller should be installed so that it can be pulled out to check the machine and
agitator without disconnecting any lines.
B. Install on a flat, level surface with the dispense point as close as possible to the machine, for
example directly above is ideal. Kegs should be as close as practical to the machine, without
hot air from refrigeration equipment, dishwashers, ovens, etc. warming the kegs or lines. Keep
the lines from the keg to the machine as short as practical, while still allowing easy tapping of
kegs.
C. A 10 to 15 amp power outlet should be located within nine (9) feet [approximately one (1) meter]
of the machine. A water supply for filling and cleaning of the ice bath and beer system would
be an advantage, but not essential. CO2 supply should be located close by. A waste pipe to
enable connection of the overflow from the machine, is not essential, but certainly makes a
better installation and is a lot easier for draining the water from the ice bath.
1.5 CONNECTING TO PRODUCT SUPPLY
A. Connect the product supply lines from the keg to the cooler and cooler to the dispense point
(see installation diagram).
B. If water recirculation lines are used to chill python or fonts, connect water recirculation lines to
appropriate ports on the agitator pump.
C. Check all connections for leaks.
1.6 FILLING THE UNIT WITH WATER
A. After installing the chiller as described above, fill the ice bath with clean water until level
reaches the overflow.
1.7 CONNECTING TO ELECTRICAL POWER
WARNING
THIS UNIT MUST BE PROPERLY ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED (EARTHED) TO AVOID
POSSIBLE FATAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR. THE
POWER CORD IS PROVIDED WITH A THREE PRONG GROUNDED PLUG. IF A THREE-HOLE
GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET IS NOT AVAILABLE, USE AN APPROVED METHOD TO
GROUND THE UNIT.
A. Remove the side panel where the power cord receptacle is located and check the serial
number plate of the dispenser for the correct electrical supply requirements. Use the dispenser
only on the power supply specified on the serial plate.
B. Connect the power supply cord to a properly grounded outlet. The agitator motor/pump should
start. The compressor and condenser fan motor have a five (5) minute start delay. While
waiting for the ice bank to form, connect CO2 regulator to CO2 bottle (use a fiber washer). Turn
on CO2 supply and set regulator to 26-35 psi (or as advised by brewery). Fit tapping heads to
kegs, ensure all taps are closed and all lines are connected. Depress tapping head levers to
tap kegs. Place just over tap outlets and draw beer into coils until solid beer is seen at the tap.
Wait for the machine to cycle off, then you will have a full ice bank and will be able to dispense
beer to the chillers rated capacity. This will take a variable length of time depending on
conditions.
C. Once the ice bank is built, the refrigeration compressor and condenser fan will cycle off but the
agitator/pump will run continuously.
2. SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
2.1 WEEKLY
A. Clean and sanitize beer lines to remove protein build-up, which can cause off-taste and
foaming (see Section 3 or follow recommendations from your brewery).
B. Remove front condenser vent panel. Clean condenser.
2.2 EVERY SIX MONTHS
A. Pull the machine out and clean behind and underneath. Check refrigeration area for any loose
components or noises (i.e., fan motor rattling).
2.3 EVERY TWELVE MONTHS
A. Disconnect the unit from the power.
B. Drain the water bath and flush with warm water to remove ice.
C. Inspect evaporator and product coils for scale or other deposits that could inhibit heat transfer.
Clean as required.
D. Inspect agitator blade for deposits or wear.
E. Inspect pump (if used) for blockage or build up.
F. Refill water bath and reconnect power.
3. CLEANING & SANITIZING ICE BANK SYSTEMS
3.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
A. Because Ice bank Systems often use kegs at ambient room temperature, beer spoilage can
occur more rapidly due to yeast growth and bacteria. The cleaning process is most important
and cannot be over stressed.
B. Contamination is often first noticed by yeast sediment in the lines from the keg to the ice bank,
as these lines are warm or at least at the surrounding air temperature.
C. These lines are normally clear PVC tube, and are the only window available to look inside the
system. If these lines are cloudy and dirty, you can be sure the system is contaminated which
will result in poor quality beer and off-taste.
D. If this is the case, clean the lines as described below. After cleaning, fit a new keg, as the part
full keg removed from the contaminated system will only re-contaminate the cleaned system.
3.2 CLEANING PROCEDURES
THE CLEANING PROCEDURE BELOW IS A GUIDE ONLY AND MAY NOT COMPLY WITH
BREWERY PROCEDURE. PLEASE CONTACT BREWERY FOR THEIR CLEANING
PROCEDURES.
WARNING
MOST CLEANING SOLUTIONS ARE CAUSTIC BASED. PLEASE ENSURE THIS PRODUCT IS
USED WITH CAUTION.
A. Mix approved cleaning solution (as advised by brewery) with warm, not hot, water in cleaning
can or bottle. Remove tapping heads from beer kegs. Fit to cleaning can. Press down tapping
lever. Sanitizer will now pressurize system. Open taps and pour until one (1) gallon (3.8 L) of
sanitizer is drawn from each tap. Let the system soak for 30 minutes.
