More Information
Summary:A combined carbonator-dispenser of post-mix beverages includes a storage tank for carbonated water in which a selected pressure of carbon dioxide gas is maintained, and to which still water is added which normally is at line pressure, through a flow control, and to which carbon dioxide gas is added at a still higher pressure. The still water and the carbon dioxide gas are combined in a mixer and the mixture passes through a turbulator enroute to such storage tank. The storage tank is refrigerated by a refrigerant line that encircles the tank in heat-exchange relation therewith, and the water line passes through the bore of the refrigerant line enroute to the mixer. The direction of water flow is counter to that of the refrigerant flow, and a portion of the water line and a portion of the refrigerant line are disposed above the uppermost level of carbonated water. A syrup line encircles the refrigerant line, there being one such syrup line for each flavor to be dispensed. The space above the carbonated water in the storage tank is directly coupled to the space above syrup in the syrup storage tank, so that any tendency for pressure to increase in one of such tanks is absorbed in part by the space above the liquid in the outer tank or tanks.
