ABSTRACT:
A removable ice bank probe assembly includes a guide tube mounted through an opening in the deck of a refrigeration unit and secured to an evaporator coil of the unit disposed within a water bath of a post-mix beverage dispenser. The removable assembly also includes an elongated rod for supporting an ice bank probe at a bottom end thereof and a transverse arm at the top end thereof which fits in a key slot in the top of the guide tube in order to accurately align the probe assembly within the refrigeration unit. The upper transverse arm may be gripped by the fingers of an operator to quickly remove the probe when repair or servicing is needed. The probe may then be easily reinserted into the guide tube and positioned via the transverse arm and slot in a proper alignment with respect to the evaporator coils which form the ice bank which it monitors. In addition, an ice bank probe protection bracket includes a wire form cage which surrounds the ice bank probe secured to the evaporator coils of a removable refrigeration unit in order to protect the ice bank probe during servicing of the refrigeration unit.
