You guys really need a manual so you can learn the names of the different items on the refrigeration deck! The fan and coils on top are the condensing coil and fan. The coils below the deck is the evaporator the motor with the rusted shaft should have a nylon blade on it to circulate the bath water. Your unit has a great frost line, but the real test would be to fill the water bath and let it cycle but before you do that you need to make repairs to the circulater blade.
The little fan doesn't cool the motor, it makes the ice bank form ice on the exterior of the inner coils.It blows air straight down so ice doesn't form inside the coil.The white box,is called ice bank controller. It turns the stat on and off when the ice is thick enough around the coils.
Don't know about the cooling system, but it might be cool to take some of the syrup/water mixers and hook them up to various food colored waters and to show how adjusting the ratios on the valves creates different shades of color in the mixture.
That's a nice little unit, a bit less complicated than the large style one's that use ice/ice makers. They use the melting ice to cool the soda (not so effective), but have a way to enable/disable co2 to each dispenser so you can have both carbonated, non-carbonated beverages.
When my McDonald's had one of those machines before we got new ones we would clean the dispenser (the black piece covering the 'mixer' as you guys called it) we would take the mixer off and make the machine dispense... only one problem: the mixer also creates the 'steady' stream of soda... so we made a huge mess :P
he mentioned it quickly, there's an adjustment at the top (under the cover that has the name of each drink), one for water and one for syrup. They're the vaguely diamond-shaped pieces with the circle in the center.
Can't wait to move to GR. I'd love to be involved in some autopsies! Don't hold your breath. I've got obligations here in Seattle for the next 3 years.
it took me a second to realize the intro wasn't in english but in Dutch (or rather, Flemish). I'm dutch myself so i can understand it without problems :D
I dont want to tell you guys how to do your job..but if it was me I would of disconnected the power to that thing before taking the compressor/condenser/evaporator assembly out. Remember Safety ALWAYS FIRST!
My first idea for the chiller unit would be some sort of cooling system for a computer. Put a heat exchanger and a waterproof fan/impeller in the cold box and run the other end to the CPU and GPU(s)
Man i would love to visit your lab.. i'm a huge computer geek and i'm sure i could provide a lot of help.. also have quite a few things i could donate.
Thats full of R11, its a chiller. I sure hope you recapture the R11 and DO NOT vent it. Its the same principle used in a Supermarket chiller so you could put it in a tank grab some old car radiators a water pump and a few fans plum everything up and whalla!! Home made AC.
Turn tank and coil into computer case. liquid cooled PC, you wanted get a nice dual CPU board, a few SSDs maybe 3 do a a raid 5 setup on them, and make a liquid cooled server.

Fixing an old soda machine. this vid helped a lot

Some questions. How do the concentrates get sucked? Where do they mix? Where is the carbonation happening? How is the system under constant pressure?

i'm so nerdy that i'm loving watching this right now. I love you guys.
Turning a refrigeration compressor on its side it lets oil into the valves. & turning it on immediately will run the compressor.
Why did you decide to leave it plugged in while you were working on it?

I would have put it back together and put it to work.
Or sell it. I for one have always wanted one.
Why is it still plugged in
I still need to know how to turn up the syrup at the fountains that are weak tasting?

That little motor is a stirrer for the water bath. If that stirrer weren't there, the water bath would freeze up.
put a larger version of that phase changer (heat exchanger) in a swimming pool. loads of fun.

Unplugg it unplugg it unplugg it!
All these weird shaped tubings should be great for making some steampunk thingie.
You start unscrewing it while the power is connected. How smart is that??
I dont want to tell you guys how to do your job..but if it was me I would of disconnected the power to that thing before taking the compressor/condenser/evaporator assembly out. Remember Safety ALWAYS FIRST!
Perhaps use it for a constant temperature cold bath for the chem-lab?
Red screws are called flow controls,coke is 80 percent water and 20 percent syrup and co2.
That valve you have is called a LEV valve...the white nozzle inside the big nozzle is called the diffuser.

That little refrigeration unit would make for a good cooler.
When I see Chris throwing stuff behind his back, I always think of the Swedish chef muppet.
How did it smell Chris?
It's a series of tubes.
A Boden refrigerated hat, for thinking in hot environments!
A bit heavy on the cervical vertebrae, but hey!
Man i would love to visit your lab.. i'm a huge computer geek and i'm sure i could provide a lot of help.. also have quite a few things i could donate.
Unplug the darn thing before you start turning screws!
The syrup is properly got so much sugar/acidic value that its pretty hostile to microbial life. Hence the lack for scuzz.
you called that a condenser fan
WHY DO YOU GOTTA SCREAM AND GET LOUD...GESSHHH...?
This is funny stuff. That's not how you want to take it apart.
evaporator fan?? the evaporator coils chill the water bath you mean the condenser
Super computer cooling LOL
Holy Crap Batman Look at the giant heatsink LOL
warom inees een nederlandse intro?
It would make a nice liquid cooler for a rack of servers.
Use for cooling the water for a water cooled computer
Put a fan in the middle AIR CONDITIONER!
chaotic good? dare I say based?

cool.
Opps now for the real show .....Put it all back together..
Cool een intro in het belgie's :p
water cool a whole bank of computers with it
Those mixing units look like little robots...
i am sure i have seen something that needs thing in brewing ale beer :D
Make a beer keg chiller for Belgium draft party...then take it apart.
water cooler for a fish tank.
I wish the guy would stop shouting for no reason.
make HUGE water cooling system for a computer :P
phase cooled solid state teslacoil!!!!
put it in a portable cooler and,boom! its now a water-cooler! ......get it .....WATER COOLER???? OK.
phase cooling a cpu or something with one of these!!!!
Turn tank and coil into computer case. liquid cooled PC, you wanted get a nice dual CPU board, a few SSDs maybe 3 do a a raid 5 setup on them, and make a liquid cooled server.
McDo? Kfc? x)
this hurts watching... i worked att coca cola servicing this machines... :P
