 Application: Treating water from a filtration system is injected with CO2 to provide carbonation. It is then fed to a proportioner where syrup is added to produce the soft drink.
Where In Process?: The flow of carbonated water is maintained at a constant rate as it passes over the cooling coils to ensure uniform cooling before it is blended with the syrup in the proportioner.
Why Flow Rate is Critical?: The treated water must be cooled from approximately 85 degrees to a constant 45 degrees to get proper mixing and processing.
What Alternatives Were Considered: Flow control valve.
Main Reasons for Choosing Kates: Past experience - Maintaining a constant flow regardless of pressure fluctuations is critical to achieve uniform cooling.
