•The P1PV & P1PVCD Series coolers are designed for connection to a supply of potable water.
The cooler should not be connected to water supplies of unknown bacterial quality or those that
are not already fit for human consumption. The machine should only be connected to a potable
drinking water supply.
•This unit is suitable for indoor use in domestic, commercial & industrial locations. They should
not be sited in locations where they may be subjected to rain or snow.
Cooling System:
•The P1PV & P1PVCD Series coolers use the OASIS Pressure Vessel Direct Chill (PVDC)
cooling tank system. The cooling tank is manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel which is noncorrosive and inert.
•The cold water temperature is preset at the factory at approximately 7°C (45°F) – the water
temperature is controlled by a thermostat that is located on the back of the unit. Cold water
temperatures may be adjusted via a slotted screw on the body of the control (can be accessed
through the hole in the metal panel in the filter compartment). Turning this screw in the
clockwise direction will make the water colder (and vice versa).
Ambient Water Circuit:
•The water in the ambient water circuit is not cooled - the temperature of the water will be the
same as the temperature of the water that comes out of the building water supply and the
ambient room temperature. The ambient water should be flushed after long periods of non use.
Hot Water System:
•The P1PV & P1PVCD Series coolers use a two-piece hot tank to aid in cleaning out scale. The
hot tank is manufactured from 304 Stainless Steel which is non-corrosive and inert.
•The hot water temperature is preset at the factory at approximately 88°C (190°F) – the water
temperature is controlled by a thermostat that is located on the hot tank. Hot water temperatures
may be adjusted via a slotted screw on the body of the control (can be accessed through the hole
in the metal panel in the filter compartment). Turning this screw in the clockwise direction will
make the water hotter (and vice versa).
Compressor:
•The compressor uses the hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant R134a which is a non-Ozone depleting
substance with a Global Warming Potential of 1,300. The
compressor is controlled by an electromechanical thermostat
that controls the temperature of the water in the direct chill
unit.
Cup Dispenser:
•The P1PVCD Series contains an integrated cup dispenser built
into the top of the cooler. This is the only difference between
the P1PV Series and the P1PVCD Series.
•The drip tray supplied with the P1PV coolers is fitted with a self-drain facility. To put the selfdrain facility into service, follow the instructions listed below:
o Remove the drip tray from the cooler
o Remove the grille from the drip tray
o Using a 8mm (5/16”) diameter drill, drill a hole through the bottom of the drip tray stem
o Fit a flexible hose of 10mm (or 3/8”) inner diameter onto the stem
o Route the hose through the partition to the rear of the unit – you can run this hose directly
to a main water drain or connect it to a storage vessel that will need to be emptied at
regular intervals
Water Pipe and Fittings:
•All water connection fittings are made by the John Guest Company and are approved to NSF
standards 51 and 61. The machine is connected to the water supply by a ¼” female bulkhead
fitting.
•The entire internal water circuit and all the components which come in contact with water are
food grade NSF / WRAS approved
Mounting Feet
•The unit is supplied with 4 mounting feet (packed inside the filter compartment). These can be
used to level the cooler on uneven surfaces. To install the feet, simply screw them into the 4
threaded holes in the metal base of the cooler
Water Valves:
•Control of water dispensing is achieved by means of mains AC electrical solenoid valves.
Three valves are used – two for cold water and one for ambient or hot water (depending on
model). The valves remain open when the customer pushes the dispense button for a drink
Panels:
•All external molded panels are made from ABS plastic. The material used is UV resistant and
meets all CE and UL requirements for fire safety. All metal panels are made from galvanized
steel which is then painted. The galvanized coating provides increased resistance to rust and
corrosion.
•Tri Palm International supplies spare parts for all of its watercoolers. For European service,
please check the OASIS web-site at www.oasis.ie for full illustrated parts breakdowns that give
full details of all replacement parts. For service from the United States, refer to the Tri Palm
International web-site www.tripalmint.com
Pre-Delivery Inspection:
1. Examine the packaging for signs of damage – report any damage to the carrier.
2. Remove the carton from the cooler – cut the strapping tape and lift the carton from the cooler. Store
the carton and corner posts for repacking the cooler prior to shipping it to the customer.
3. Remove the shipping bag from the cooler
4. Carry out a general inspection of the cooler, ensuring that :
a) There are no marks or physical damage to the cooler
b) All accessories are present
c) All wires and electrical connections are in place at the back of the cooler
d) All tubes and water connections are in place
e) That the cooler is clean and dust free
5. Install your filtration system (see relevant section in this manual)
6. Flush out the water cooler
a) Connect the water supply to the bulkhead fitting at the rear of the unit
b) Make sure the hot tank switch is off, if applicable, then connect the unit to a power supply
c) Caution: The unit is now live and suitable safety precautions should be taken
d) For models with hot tanks, the two buttons on the front left of the cooler face must be pressed at
the same time to dispense hot water. Press the dispensing button for hot water and keep the
button depressed until the water from the outlet runs clear – note that it will take some time to
bleed all of the air from the hot tank.
e) If your model is a Cook N’ Cold model, press and keep the button depressed for ambient
temperature water until the water from the outlet runs clear.
