Overview
From August 2024 on, an updated “Gen 2” chiller version is introduced for the Bevi Standup 2.0 units. This document describes the key differences between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 chillers, and how to properly identify the chiller version.
Machine Compatibility:
- Both Gen 1 and Gen 2 chillers will be compatible with all Bevi Standup 2.0 models.
- Remove & Replacement procedures will remain the same between both versions.
- Water system is unchanged, and all tubing connections are the same size and in the same locations.
Key Differences & Details:
OLD "Gen 1” Chiller: FRU P/N #105311-01
- Metal top cover.
- Both Min and Max Ice Sense Pins.
- Gen 1 Chillers have both Min and Max Ice sense pins that detect the level of ice growth in the ice bank.
- Ice Bank Level Float Switch.
- Gen 1 Chillers use a float switch to detect when the ice bank is full or low.
- Recirculation Pump Bracket.
- Larger metal bracket to secure the Recirculation pump in place.
NEW "Gen 2” Chiller: FRU P/N #110369-01
- Molded plastic top cover.
- No Max Ice Sense Pin.
- Gen 2 chillers will only have a Min Ice pin, and will no longer include a Max Ice pin.
- Ice Bank Level Sense Pin.
- Instead of using a float switch like the Gen 1, Gen 2 chillers will now use a level sense pin to detect the Ice Bank level.
- Dedicated transfer pump tube hole.
- There is now a dedicated hole to allow you to more easily feed a pump tube into the ice bank to properly drain the ice bank.
- Ice Bank Fill tube connection.
- The push-to-connect fitting for the Ice Bank Fill tube is now a molded stand off on the plastic top cover.
- Updated compressor and condenser. (not pictured)
How to Identify Chiller Type:
Method 1: Physical identification.
- Looking at the top panel of the chiller itself will help you determine if it is a Gen 1 or Gen 2 chiller.
- Metal top cover for Gen 1.
- White plastic cover for Gen 2.
- Gen 2 Chillers also have white molded foam insulation, visible with the back panel removed.
Method 2: Software Identification.
- The Chiller Sensor Harness is pinned differently between Gen 1 and Gen 2 chillers which allows the software to automatically detect which version is installed.
- When accessing the Troubleshooting Tools menu within the service panel, you can find the Chiller Version in the Chiller data.
- Chiller version will be listed as “Bevi Chiller (Gen 1)” or “Bevi Chiller (Gen 2), or “Unknown”.
- If chiller version is Unknown, please contact Bevi Support at 866-704-2384 for assistance.
Method 3: Using the Well.
- From the Well unit page, you can find the chiller version in the Machine Identifiers section.
