SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
The 9 Core Functions of the BKON Unit:

1. Fill
2. Rinse
3. Vacuum
4. Purge no water
5. Purge with water
6. Blowout
7. Drink Preparation
a. Preparation Vacuum
b. Preparation Water
8. Start / Initialization
Fill - adding water at the correct temperature into the brew cylinder for beverage production
Rinse - adding water to the brew cylinder after beverage cycle is complete to rinse away beverage ingredients
Vacuum - decreasing the atmospheric pressure inside the brew cylinder, also called infusion
Purge no water - expelling the contents of the brew cylinder by increasing the atmospheric pressure inside the brew
cylinder
Purge with water - used to preheat the brew cylinder after an idle period
Blowout - removes water from the air / water separator after each beverage
Preparation Vacuum - applying a small amount of vacuum to the brew cylinder. This small amount of vacuum does
two things;
1. Air leak check before water enters the brew cylinder
2. Pressure buffer, when the water first enters the cylinder a small amount of water will flash
into steam due low atmospheric pressure. The pressure buffer prevents an over pressure
event.
Preparation Water - heating water to the correct temperature before introducing it to the brew cylinder and
Start / Initialization - daily start up of the unit and initialization of the software

The 5 Beverage Functions

1. Prewash
2. Fill
3. Infusion
4. Steep
5. Dispense
Prewash - adding a small amount of water to wash the tea leaves (mostly darker teas)
a. Preparation water
b. Preparation vacuum
c. Fill
d. Purge no water
Fill - adding the correct temperature water to the brew cylinder
a. Preparation water
b. Preparation vacuum
c. Fill
Infusion - decreasing the atmospheric pressure of the brew cylinder
a. Vacuum
Steep - giving the beverage time to brew (flavor extraction)
Dispense - expelling the beverage from the brew cylinder to the cup. By increasing the atmospheric pressure inside
the brew cylinder the check valve inside the purge valve is forced open allowing the brew cylinder to
empty
b. Purge no water
c. Blowout
Beverage functions will vary both in the number of times used and in the amount of time they are engaged. These two
variations are based on the programmed beverage recipe.

The blue pie shapes represents a negative pressure inside the

brew cylinder, a vacuum, also called an infusion cycle.
Vacuum (Depth / Holding Time)

The two numbers inside the blue box represents negative
pressure amount and the time the pressure is held.
40 In this example the unit decreases pressure inside the brew
17 cylinder to -40 kPa for 17 seconds.
Kilopascals (kPa)
100 kPa = 1 bar
= 14.5 psi
= 29.5 inHg
The red pie shapes represents a positive pressure inside the

brew cylinder, also called a purge cycle.
Purge (Depth / Holding Time)

The two numbers inside the red box represent the positive
pressure amount and the time the pressure is held.
In this example the unit increases pressure inside the brew
30 cylinder to 30 kPa for 15 seconds.
15 Kilopascals (kPa)
100 kPa = 1 bar
= 14.5 psi
= 29.5 inHg

Water Injection (Fill / Rinse)

Water quantity is measured in milliliters (ml)
250 In this example a total of 300 ml of water is injected into
50 the brew cylinder. 250 ml of water is injected through the fill
valve (V3) and 50 ml through the rinse valve (V4)
Atmosphere Pause
5 This is the amount of time in seconds that the unit pauses to
allow the beverage to brew or steep.
Beverage Temperature
205° For this example the beverage temperature is programmed
for 205° F
Starting point and order of sequence

The black vertical line is the stating point for the beverage
cycle. The arrow is the order of sequence.
