1INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE

The BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH provide an economical, precise means of supplying mixed beer

gas to “push” the beer to the tap within restaurant and bar establishments. Beer brewers have established

recommended Carbon-Dioxide (CO2) and Nitrogen (N2) mixed gas ratios to protect the kegged product quality,

eliminating over-foaming or under-carbonation, while increasing the keg life. Precise mixed beer gas lowers

operational costs, increases yields/profits, and ultimately provides a higher level of customer satisfaction. This

system can also be used for wine or specialty mixed drink dispensing systems.

South-Tek System’s line of BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH products consist of an internal a) N2

generator, b) compressor, and c) CO2/N2dual output gas blender (the N2-GEN™ 14KPH does not come with a gas

blender). Since air is comprised of ~79% N2we simply and cost-effectively separate the N2from the air. Nitrogen

is an inert gas (non-combustible), which is even used to package food products for increased shelf life. The N2is

“generated” by our pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology, where compressed air cycles back and forth

between two beds. As needed, the high purity N2is then forwarded to the integral McDantimTM dual output gas

blender (only in the BeerBlast™ 14KPH and 7KPH model) which precisely blends the N2with the CO2from the

restaurant/bar’s in house storage cylinder/tank. The standard CO2/N2blends available are 60% / 40% and 25% /

75%. The blends are accurate to within 2%. Custom CO2/N2blends are available if desired.

**The installer and the user should read this manual in its entirety.

1.2 AUDIENCE

This manual is intended for Installer/Restaurant/Bar Operator/Supervisory Staff and should be read in its entirety

prior to operation.

Please contact your local Beer Gas provider for any operation and maintenance first prior to contacting the

manufacturer.

1.3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Before personnel attempt to service the unit, ensure the power switch has been turned to the off position, and then

disconnect the unit’s external power cord from the building electrical power supply if possible. Always follow

specific manuals from STS when servicing your system.

The BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH produces a gas blend of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Nitrogen (N2)

at a low flow rate, which quickly dissipates into the air. CO2and N2gases are not poisonous but they should not be

directly inhaled, since in high concentrations, they can cause asphyxiation. Ensure that the unit is installed

within a well-ventilated room, one that is not sealed off from normal living space air changes.

All personnel involved with installation, operations, and maintenance of the BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™

7/14KPH must follow safe working practices, OSHA, and local health/safety code regulations during the installation,

operation, and maintenance of the unit.

2SAFETY GUIDELINES

2.1 GENERAL

Correct use of the BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH is important for your personal safety and for trouble-

free functioning of the BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH. Incorrect use can cause damage to the

BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH / 7KPH or can lead to incorrect gas supply.

7/14KPH to prevent accidents and damage to the BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH.

Contact your supplier if you detect a problem that you cannot solve with this manual.

Only use the BeerBlast™ 7/14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7/14KPH in accordance with its designed purpose.

3SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

3.1 KEY FEATURES

The BeerBlast™ 7KPH and 14KPH / N2-GEN™ 7KPH and 14KPH key features include the following:

-Air compressor

-Air Filters

-Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

-Pressure Swing Adsorption Beds

-Safety Relief Valves

-N2Storage Tank

-Automatic Pressure Cut-in/Cut-out

-McDantimTM dual output gas blender (only in BeerBlast™ 7KPH and 14KPH model)

-STS Patented Blast-Off (optional)

Air Compressor:

The air compressor is designed internally to the cabinet and features engineered dampening system to reduce

vibration and noise throughout the cabinet. It is an oil-less compressor with a pre-filter attached to the air input.

The recommended replacement on the pre-filter is 1000 run hours or 1 year (whichever comes first). Dirtier

environments may be required to be changed out more frequently. Consult your supplier for a different filter

maintenance schedule if you are installing the generator in dirty environment.

Air Filters:

The generator has two filters after the air compressor: the particulate and coalescing. The Particulate has a 5

micron filter that will catch any of the larger particles. The Coalescing has a 0.1 micron filter that will catch the

remaining smaller particles. Both filters feature and autodrain that will drain the water captured after the air

compressor. The drain is plumbed to the outside of the cabinet where the end-user can then connect ¼” tubing

and drain to a safe location.

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):

There’s an integrated PLC within the cabinet. It features smart and efficient coding to maximize the performance

of the generator. It controls the timing and sequencing of the valves to effectively move compressed gas

throughout the system. It also has a smart feature to automatically go into different “modes” based on the

current run stages. It comes with a visual screen that will display run hours and alarms.

Safety Relief Valves:

Safety Relief Valves have been placed throughout the system for maximum safety. They are designed and put

in place to minimize failure of other components. They all come with an ASME stamp.

N2Storage Tank:

A N2Storage Tank is housed inside the cabinet with manual ball valves and gauge. It is plumbed to an external

manual ball valve so that the end-user will not have to do any plumbing within the cabinet.

Automatic Cut-In/Out:

The generator comes with a built in pressure switch that is tied into the PLC. This will provide a low voltage

signal back to the PLC to put the system in a “Standby Mode” when the tank is full of Nitrogen.

McDantimTM dual output gas blender:

Precisely blends N2with CO2from the restaurant/bar’s in house storage cylinder / tank. The standard CO2/N2

blends available are 60% / 40% and 25% / 75%. The blends are accurate to within 2%. Custom CO2/N2blends

are available if desired.

Patented Blast-Off Detection (optional):

The Blast-Off Leak Detection will provide the end-user with an alarm when it detects characteristics of a leak

somewhere on the system. It will trigger an audible alarm, display it on the screen, and the end-user can tie into

the dry contact so that the alarm can be relayed back to the Building Management System (BMS).

3.4 SYSTEM OPERATIONS

The system has three standard run modes –Run, Cool, and Standby. When the power switch is turned on, the

controller will automatically determine which mode to enter and will display the current run mode on the screen –

“Run” in Green, “Cool” in Yellow, and “StdBy” in Yellow.

“Run” mode is when the BeerBlast™ 14KPH / N2-GEN™ 14KPH is producing nitrogen and feed it to the storage

tank. It will run through a couple cycles and then enter into a “Cool” mode for one cycle. This prevents the internal

air compressor from overheating and over working. The system will automatically enter “Standby” mode when the

tank is fully pressurized (65-75 psig). It will remain in “Standby” mode until the tank pressure falls 7-10 psig.
