Warnings and General Safety

WARNI NG

Beware of electricity around liquids!

Ensure power supply packs and power cords are placed well away

from any potential spills and pooling condensation.

WARNI NG

When plugging the 12V Power Supply Pack into the front of the unit, ensure the

plug is in the correct orientation, and that the groove in the plug matches up

with the key in the 12V DC Power Connection

WARNI NG

The pump starts when the Temperature Control Panel (STC-1000) is powered on.

DO NOT power up the controller until you are ready to prime the pump with

coolant OR the unit is already primed and ready to operate.

WARNI NG

Do not operate the unit with the pump running dry for extended periods

as this will dramatically shorten the life of the pump.

WARNI NG

Although it is highly unlikely that coolant will make its way into the wort/beer,

we recommend the use of food-grade glycol diluted with water for the coolant.

Keg King sells food-grade glycol for this application.

Please read the entire manual before operating.

Introduction

The Thermentor King (released in 2021) is a low-cost system designed to use a glycol mixture

for controlling temperature in small fermenters and kegs.

It has a generous capacity for heating (150 watts) that will keep a fermenter warm on the coldest

days.

Cooling 30 - 35 liters of liquid inside a proper insulating jacket will achieve approximately

20 - 22°C (36 - 40°F) of temperature differential to ambient depending on configuration.

The unit is controlled by an industry standard STC-1000 temperature controller which allows

the user to set their desired temperature.

This innovative design from the Keg King Engineering Department incorporates a small priming

reservoir with an integral pump which pushes the coolant through an enhanced Peltier

cooling/heating unit.

A thermal cutout will stop the system if temperature of the liquid exceeds 40°C (104°F).

The unit is designed to work with 12 volts DC and can be powered with a mains 25A 12V DC

power pack. It may also be powered by batteries, solar or a mix of these that can provide 12

volts at 25 amps or more.

NOTE: Power packs must carry local approvals of the power

authorities in your jurisdiction.

Instructions

Power ON:hold for 5 seconds. Power OFF: hold for 3 seconds

During normal operation, the screen displays the real-time temperature (RT)

The controller switches between heating and cooling modes.

Cooling Mode: when RT ≥ST (set temperature) + F2 (hysteresis value)

During Cooling mode, the Cooling Indicator is illuminated.

If the Cooling Indicator is flashing, it indicates the cooling equipment is undergoing the

compressor / cooling delay (not necessary for this unit).

When RT ≤ ST the cooling stops, and the Cooling Indicator is no longer illuminated.

Heating Mode:when RT ≤ ST (set temperature) –F2 (hysteresis value)

During Heating mode, the Heating Indicator is illuminated.

When RT ≥ ST, the heating stops, and the Heating Indicator is no longer illuminated.

Example:

ST is set to 10°C, and F2 is set to 3°C

Cooling Mode starts when RT ≥ 13°C and stops when RT ≤ 10°C

Heating Mode starts when RT ≤ 7°C and stops when RT ≥ 10°C

Initial Setup

Also check out our Thermentor King video on YouTube

Fermenter / Keg Preparation

1. Wrap the fermenter / keg vessel in a thermally efficient

insulating jacket.

2. The jacket is recommended to have high quality

insulating foam at least 5cm thick.

3. Keg King offers various insulating jackets to suit their

conical fermenter vessels.

If you make your own insulation, ensure the sides and

bottom have no gaps for cool air to leak from.

4. Position the vessel where it is going to stay, as it will be

more difficult to move once connected to the

Thermentor King.

Constructing the Coolant Circuit

You will need to acquire tubing with ball lock (liquid) disconnects to make the coolant circuit

between the Thermentor King and a cooling coil in your fermenter or Keg.

This tubing should be as short as practically possible and be fully covered by foam pipe

insulation (available from hardware stores etc.).

It is recommended that the “Flow and Tell” visual flow indicator be added to the coolant tubing

(best position is close to the Coolant Outlet), so that it will be obvious that the coolant is flowing

through the circuit at a reasonable rate.

1. Cut the coolant tubing to the

required lengths

2. Cut the pipe insulation to the

required lengths, allowing extra

length to cover connections

3. Thread the coolant tubing into the

pipe insulation.

4. Connect a section of coolant tubing

to each side of the cooling coil as

shown in the diagram to the right

5. Optionally, connect the “Flow and

Tell” to the coolant tubing as shown

in the diagram to the right

6. Connect disconnects to the coolant

tubing as shown in the diagram to

the right
