3. OVERVIEW

3.1 Product Description

The UF-1 and UFB-1 valve provides accurate flow capability and dependability. The UF-1

and UFB-1 valves are capable of flow rates of 1 ½ to 3 ounces per second (high flow), 2 to

4 ounces per second (UFB-1), or 3 to 4 ½ ounces per second (ultra flow). The valve flow

control modules are the only parts that differ in the three versions.

Note: The flow rate is also dependent on the capacity of the dispensing, cooling, and

carbonation systems. An ultra flow capacity valve will not make up for a slow

system flow rate or inadequate supplies of cooled water and syrup. The following

is a list of Cornelius units and the valve flow rates they support:

INTRODUCTION

UF-1 and UFB-1 Valves Training Manual

There are four varieties of UF-1 and UFB-1 valves:

• The cup activated valve dispenses by means of a lever engaged by the cup.

• A push button valve has a press and hold button on the front cover of the valve.

• The OptifillTM valve dispenses with an activation lever but stops after the liquid fills

the cup and touches the lever

• A portion control valve has four programmable drink size buttons that provide timed

deliveries, top off, and a manual dispensing button.

The UF-1 and UFB-1 valves are the same as described above with minor differences for

juice applications. In the UF-1 and UFB-1 valve concentrate enters the nozzle assembly

higher providing a better mix of concentrate and water in the cup. In addition, the orifices

for concentrate are larger to avoid clogging. The concentrate diffuser is gray allowing for

easy identification.

Note: The beverage (syrup) diffuser must be installed in order to use a diversion tube to

ratio the concentrate valve.

Note: Concentrate valves have only one hole in their sleeve and are only offered in fast

flow capacities of 1.5 to 3.0 oz./sec.

INTRODUCTION

UF-1 and UFB-1 Valves Training Manual

A side water lever kit can be added to a valve

allowing for dispensing of water without syrup or

concentrate. The side water lever can be added to

either a carbonated drink valve or a noncarbon-

ated drink valve.

Post-mix valves control:

• the ON–OFF of syrup and water,

• the flow rates of syrup and water,

• the mixing of the two ingredients as they pour into the cup, and

• in some instances - dispensed portion.

SYSTEM DETAILS

1. WATER

1.1 Water Quality

Water quality issues have an affect on dispensing valves. Chloramine, a combination of

chlorine and ammonia is responsible for some degradation of rubber components.

Chloramine is used in many U. S. water supplies. Its affects can be minimized by install-

ing and maintaining a water filtration system.

Ultra pure water affects the sensitivity of the Optifill™ valve. Because ultra pure water has

less mineral content, it reduces the conductivity of the water keeping the circuit open and

overfilling the beverage container.

1.2 Water Flow

The size of the orifice in the piston varies depending on whether the piston is used for

syrup or water, and whether it is high flow or ultra flow valve.

Note: The notched water piston on the Ultra Flow and UFB-1

valve. results in at least one orifice in the sleeve

always open. This eliminates pulsating and smooths

water flow at higher flow rates.

In operation the liquid flows through the knife–edged orifice in the bottom of the piston

and then out the orifices in the sleeve. The outlet orifice size in the sleeve is regulated by

the position of the piston. In the illustration, the piston is restricting approximately 1/2 of

the outlet orifices.

SYSTEM DETAILS

UF-1 and UFB-1 Valves Training Manual

The position of the piston inside the sleeve is determined by the upward pressure of the

liquid against the base of the piston and the downward pressure of the spring inside the

piston (not shown here). The pressure of the spring is regulated by the adjusting screw.

If the pressure of the liquid increases, the flow rate through the knife–edged orifice will

increase. The piston is moved upward closing off more of the outlet orifices. The same

flow rate is thereby maintained.

1.3 Adjusting Flow Rates

Flow rates of the water and syrup are adjusted based on the desired ratio. For example: if

the desired ratio is 5:1, then the flow rate of the water is 5 times that of the syrup.

If the desired finished drink total flow rate is 3.0 ounces per second, then the water flow

rate is 2.5 oz./sec and the syrup flow rate is 0.5 oz./sec. (The water at 2.5 oz./sec is five

times the 0.5 oz./sec syrup flow rate.)

Note: Always adjust water within its range.

1.4 Calculating Flow Rates

The most frequent ratio is 5:1. The charts above list the breakdown for many ratios and

flow rates. It is useful to be able to calculate flow rates when a chart is not available.

An example of calculating the water and syrup flow rates given the finished drink flow rate

and the water to syrup ratio:

Given:

1. Finished Drink Flow Rate = 3.0 oz./sec.

2. Water to Syrup Ratio = 5 to 1

To calculate Water Flow Rate:

1. Calculate the Total Portions = Water Portion + Syrup Portion

(example 5 + 1 = 6)

2. Calculate Syrup Flow Rate = Finished Drink Flow Rate ÷ Total Portions

(example 3.0 oz./sec ÷ 6 = .5 oz./sec)

3. Calculate Water Flow Rate = Finished Drink Flow Rate – Syrup Flow Rate

(example 3.0 oz./sec - .5 oz./sec = 2.5 oz./sec)

Prove the calculation is correct by adding water flow rate of 2.5 oz./sec + syrup

flow rate of .5 oz./sec = finished drink flow rate of 3.0 oz./sec.

Water flowing at 2.5 oz./sec and syrup flowing at .5 oz./sec achieves a ratio of 5:1

and 3.0 oz./sec. flow rate.

UF-1 and UFB-1 Valves Training Manual

2. SYRUP/CONCENTRATE

Syrup should always be precooled before setting the ratio. Syrup takes a path through the

valve parallel to the water path. It is introduced in the block, travels through a syrup flow control,

banjo, valve head and out the nozzle. Note, concentrate is not cooled.

High sugar syrups are more viscous (thicker) than diet syrups and consequently have more

pressure drop within a system. This pressure drop results in less flow at the valve and therefore a

slower fill time. Increasing the pump pressure will help overcome the pressure drop caused by

high sugar syrups.

3. SETTING RATIOS

If the ratio varies and must be adjusted often, it is probably the result of a restricted syrup

system. It is then time to clean and sanitize the syrup tubing and cooling coils and check for other

problems such as syrup pumps, etc.

Note: Try raising the pressure on the pump before cleaning.

Set the water flow rate first, then adjust the syrup to the desired ratio. This gives the most

accurate valve flow setting possible. Measure the ratio and adjust the syrup flow, if necessary.

This will result in uniform flow, better carbonation retention, and improved drink quality.

When using a ratio cup always take these

precautions to ensure accuracy:

• After installing the separator tube, open

the valve to fill the syrup tube before

starting the ratio test.

• Clean the cup thoroughly between tests

so there is no carry–over from one test

to the next.

• Fill the cup to approximately 3/4 full

and use approximately the same quan-

tity for each test to ensure accurate set-

tings.

• Take another sample to verify the set-

tings.

5. CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL

All UF-1 and UFB-1 valves have a 24 volt solenoid that should be powered by an 80 kVA rated

transformer. Voltage at the coil with the solenoid energized should be 22 and 27 VAC.

5.1 UF-1 and UFB-1 Portion Control Valve

The UF-1 and UFB-1 Portion Control Valves are push and release

that dispense for a programmed duration. There are four settings:

small, medium, large, and extra-large. There is also a Cancel/Pour

rectangular button with red and green arrows. If this button is

pressed during dispensing, the flow stops. If the valve is not dis-

pensing and the button is pressed, the valve dispenses as long as the

button is held.

The portion controls are factory programmed to the following default settings:

Portion Control Valve Programming

To set the amount of beverage dispensed, follow this procedure:

1. Press the hidden program switch until the PGM light turns on. (This light shows

only when the programming mode is turned on.)

2. Put desired amount of ice in cup. Press and hold a portion button until the

desired level in the appropriate sized cup is reached. Release the button.

3. Continue with other portion buttons that need programming. Portion buttons

may be reprogrammed as many times as necessary. Only the last time values

entered for each button will be saved when exiting the programming mode.

4. Press the program switch until the PGM light turns off.

NOTE: The portion control valve does not have a top-off function.

NOTE: When in programming mode, press and release any of the portion size but-

tons to return to the factory portion settings.

NOTE: Portion controls will not operate below 22 volts. This is known as the

“brown-out feature”.

5.2 UF-1 and UFB-1 OptifillTM Valve

The OptifillTM Valve is activated by pressing a cup against the dispens-

ing lever. The valve dispenses only until foam from the cup touches the

lever*. If a top-off delay is set, the valve will dispense again after a pre-

set delay. This “topping-off” fills the cup after the foam settles. The

top-off delay is can be adjusted from 0 to 15 seconds, the factory

default is 2 seconds.

*Note: A metal rivet in the valve body supplies electricity through the

beverage being dispensed. When the foaming beverage comes

in contact with the metal dispensing lever it completes the elec-

trical circuit and the flow module closes the dispensing valve —

even though the lever is still activated.

Note: The cup must stay in place against the lever for the top-off to operate.

Note: A slanted cup rest must be used with an OptifillTM valve.

OptifillTM Valve Programming

The OptifillTM module provides a timed dispensing function to set water flow

rates. To access this function:

1. Press the program switch until the LED turns on.

2. Hold a graduated cup under the valve nozzle without touching the lever. Press

the large rectangular switch. The valve dispenses for 2 seconds. The dispensed

liquid divided by 2 equals the oz./sec dispensed rate.

3. Press the program switch to exit the program.

4. To program the top off function follow this procedure:

5. Remove the front valve cover.

6. Press the program switch until the LED turns on (can be seen from the top of

the module.)

7. Place cup against the lever for initial dispensing. When the foam touches the

lever the valve stops and the LED flashes.

SYSTEM DETAILS

UF-1 and UFB-1 Valves Training Manual

8. When the foam in the cup has lowered, press and release the large rectangular

button. The valve dispenses a top-off and shuts off when the foam again

touches the lever. The LED is now on steady.

9. Press the program switch until the LED turns off.

10. If you wish to disable the top-off, follow steps 1 through 3. Remove the cup

from the lever. This will enter a zero value for the delay time and disable the

top-off fill. Press the program switch for 3 seconds.

Note: The OptifillTM valve does not have an adjustment for sensitivity.
