Description

The invention relates to a mixed beverage production apparatus having a first dispensing container, which is adapted to receive a first liquid having a first freezing point and provided by the mixed beverage generating apparatus a first liquid and which communicates with an output unit of the mixed beverage generating apparatus for directing the first liquid from the first Output container is connected to the output unit. The mixed beverage producing apparatus has at least one separate second dispensing container configured to receive a second liquid having a second freezing point different from the first freezing point and to be added to a mixed beverage by the mixed beverage generating apparatus and communicating with the dispensing unit of the mixed beverage producing apparatus for guiding the mixed beverage second liquid is connected from the second output container to the output unit. In addition, the invention relates to a household refrigerator with such a mixed beverage generating device as well as a method for producing a mixed beverage.

From the DE 196 15 106 A1 For example, a method and apparatus for continuously producing soda water or soda-like water is known. There, a device is disclosed in which in different separate containers different liquids such as lemonade, beer, wine can be present. Each container is connected to its own tap and is thus separated from the other container. Generating and dispensing a mixed beverage of different liquids in the containers is not possible in the interior of the plant itself. The taps are also far apart, so that a simultaneous introduction of liquids from different taps in a drinking vessel is not possible.

From the WO 2007/141321 A2 is a household refrigerator known, which is designed as a beverage device for dispensing a drink on this household refrigerator itself.

In addition, cold drinks machines are known in which alcoholic mixed drinks, such as cocktails, can be issued.

In such mixed beverage production apparatus for producing refrigerated mixed drinks, the temperature control is an essential factor.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a mixed drink generating apparatus and a domestic refrigerator as well as a method for producing a mixed drink, with which or in which the preparation of cooled mixed drinks is improved.

This object is achieved by a mixed drink generating apparatus, a household refrigerator and a method according to the independent claims.

A mixed beverage producing apparatus according to the invention comprises a first dispensing container which is designed to receive a first liquid having a first freezing point and which can be added to a mixed beverage by the mixed beverage production apparatus. This first dispensing container is connected to an output unit of the mixed beverage producing apparatus. As a result, the first liquid can be conducted from the first dispensing container to the dispensing unit, wherein the beverage can then be dispensed via the dispensing unit. The mixed beverage producing apparatus further comprises at least one second dispensing container separate from the first dispensing container. The second dispensing container is configured to receive a second liquid having a second freezing point different from the first freezing point and to be added to a mixed beverage by the mixed beverage producing apparatus. This second dispensing container is connected to the dispensing unit of the mixed beverage producing apparatus for passing the second liquid from the second dispensing container to the dispensing unit.

In particular, it is provided that the mixed beverage generating device has a first, to the first output container separate storage container, which is designed to store the first liquid. The first storage container is connected to the first dispensing container for passing the first liquid from the first storage container to the first dispensing container.

In addition or instead of this, provision is made in particular for the mixed beverage generating device to have a second storage container which is separate from the second output container and which is designed to store the second liquid. The second storage container, which is separate from the first storage container, is connected to the second discharge container for passing the second liquid from the second storage container to the second discharge container.

It is therefore provided in a particularly advantageous manner that the mixed beverage-generating device in addition to the two separate dispensing containers at least one additional, to separate storage container, in which then a to be introduced with the corresponding dispensing container liquid can be stored separately. By such a division, in which the liquid in two different containers of the mixed beverage Generating device can be introduced, special advantages can be achieved with regard to the individual preparation of a specific single liquid. Thus, on the one hand, the demand-based temperature control can take place and, on the other hand, both the demand-oriented provision of the liquid in the dispensing container, which is then connected in particular directly to the dispensing unit, can be ensured. In addition, by such a configuration, a certain supply storage can be made possible, so that the amount of liquid to be provided can be increased. By also providing two containers for a single liquid and also two separate receiving possibilities for this specific liquid, a higher flexibility and variability can also be achieved with regard to individual storage times of this liquid in the mixed beverage production apparatus. This then also allows, for example, an improved storage with regard to an undesirable deterioration in the quality of the liquid and, for example, an undesirable hygienic influence of this specific liquid.

In a further particular advantage is thereby achieved that an efficient and fast and also controllable cooling of the respective container and thus also the particular existing liquids is made possible without it by filling the container and a concomitant cooling the warm in relation to introduced Liquid to an interruption of the issue of a drink, especially the mixed drink, would come. As a result, relatively large quantities can be produced and dispensed in relatively short time intervals as a mixed drink, which are always provided under the same conditions, so that high demands can also be made here with regard to tempering and taste.

In an advantageous manner, it is provided that the mixed beverage production device has the two dispensing containers as well as the two storage containers.

A storage container is not directly connected to the dispensing unit but only indirectly via the dispensing container. This applies in particular to the first and the second storage container.

In particular, it is provided that the mixed beverage-generating device has a refrigeration cycle in which the first dispensing container, the first storage container, the second dispensing container and the second storage container are connected or thermally coupled. As a result, the abovementioned advantages can be taken into account to a particular extent and a cooling of the respective containers can be very individual and tailored, so that corresponding improvements in the cooling and provision of the liquids also take place in the event that the liquids are contained therein. In particular, then individual cooling scenarios for each different liquids can be achieved, so that here too the variability and flexibility of the mixed beverage production is increased.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the refrigeration cycle has a first evaporator, which is thermally coupled to the first dispensing container. This allows a very fast and needs-based and thus also the individual requirements very finely dosed calculation supporting cooling of the first dispenser container. Moreover, such a design also achieves a very direct cooling of the first evaporator, which is thus to be generated with little loss of cooling power and thus little energy loss. In particular, the refrigeration cycle is thus one in which the refrigerant circulates. In particular, the refrigeration cycle also has a condenser and a compressor or compressor.

Additionally or instead, it can be provided that the refrigeration cycle has a second evaporator separate from the first evaporator, which is thermally coupled to the first storage container. The corresponding advantages also apply here, as they result in the above-mentioned preferred embodiment of the thermal coupling between the first evaporator and the first dispensing container.

It is then advantageously made possible for individual cooling capacities for the first dispensing container and the first storage container to be provided independently of one another, so that the first liquid can be tempered individually in terms of quantity and / or depending on the container in which it is placed, especially can be cooled. Thus, individual cooling scenarios result, for example, in that a first liquid is present both in the first storage container and in the first dispensing container. However, an individual cooling scenario can also be created if only very little first liquid or no first liquid is contained in the first storage container, but a first liquid is still present in the first output container. Depending on the respective loading of the first storage container and the first dispensing container with first liquid, the most varied scenarios may then arise in order to achieve corresponding cooling of the first liquid, in particular then to prepare a preliminary cooling in order to then also depend on the respectively requested quantity first Liquid to spend a desired amount of first liquid at the desired temperature immediately and this then also several times later and possibly also in larger quantities at the same temperature to enable.

In particular, it is additionally or instead also provided that the refrigeration cycle has a third evaporator, which is likewise designed separately from the first and / or second evaporator and / or further evaporators. This third evaporator is thermally coupled to the second output container. In a further advantageous embodiment, additionally or instead, it can be provided that the refrigeration cycle has a fourth, in particular separate, evaporator, which is thermally coupled to the second storage container. The then achievable advantages that result from the thermal coupling of the third and / or fourth evaporator with the second output container and / or second storage container, correspond to the advantages, as already above for the thermal coupling of the first two evaporator with the first output container and / or the first storage container have been set forth.

In particular, therefore, the evaporator of the respective containers are connected in the refrigeration cycle.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the first dispensing container and the first storage container are connected in series with each other in the refrigeration cycle or thermally coupled accordingly. Additionally or instead, it is preferably provided that the second dispensing container and the second storage container are also connected in series and thus in a series circuit to each other in the refrigeration cycle or are arranged. By respective individual series connections of the output container and a storage container to each other, very efficient cooling possibilities arise, in particular when the refrigeration cycle has corresponding evaporators, which are thermally coupled to the respective containers. As a result, producible cooling capacities can be individually controlled and transmitted to the respective containers, so that here as well as rapid and individual cooling, energy-efficient operation of the mixed-beverage production device is achieved.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that, viewed in the flow direction of a refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle upstream of the first evaporator, a first expansion valve is arranged in the refrigeration cycle. In particular, this expansion valve is a temperature-controlled expansion valve. It may be provided that a temperature detection takes place in the flow direction of the refrigerant after the first evaporator, in particular at an outlet of the first evaporator. By an expansion valve, in particular in temperature-controlled expansion valve, the refrigerant distributions and evaporation temperatures in a vaporizer can be controlled very individually and precisely, so that even then the necessary cooling can be done very quickly and accurately. In addition, then again very energy-efficient cooling is possible.

In addition or instead of this, it can be provided in an advantageous embodiment that, viewed in the flow direction of a refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle before the second evaporator, a second expansion valve, in particular a temperature-controlled expansion valve, is arranged in the refrigeration cycle. Again, it is advantageously additionally or instead provided that viewed in the flow direction of a refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle upstream of the third evaporator, a third expansion valve, in particular a temperature-controlled expansion valve, is arranged in the refrigeration cycle. In a further advantageous embodiment, in addition to or instead of the fact that, viewed in the flow direction of a refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle before the fourth evaporator, a fourth expansion valve, in particular a temperature-controlled expansion valve, is arranged in the refrigeration cycle. For the further embodiments with the second, third and / or fourth expansion valve, the corresponding advantages, as they have already been mentioned above for the first expansion valve, then individually apply again.

In a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the four containers, namely the first dispensing container, the first storage container, the second dispensing container and the second storage container are connected in series with each other in the refrigeration cycle, and viewed in the flow direction of a refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle, the first Dispensing container at the first row position, the first storage container at the second row position, the second dispensing container at the third row position and the second storage container at the fourth row position are arranged. In such a specific series arrangement of the individual containers to each other then the respective occurring evaporation temperatures of the refrigerant can individually act on the container and thus individually temper the then each therein liquids.

Thus, it is advantageously provided that when the first liquid has a higher freezing point than the second liquid and the first liquid in the first dispensing container and / or in the first storage container is included, in this advantageous embodiment with the specific series arrangement the highest Evaporating temperature of the refrigerant acts on the first output tank or the first output container and thus also acts on this first liquid, if it is contained therein. The then successively decreasing or lower evaporation temperatures of the refrigerant, as they then act in a further order on the first storage container, the second output container and the second storage container, and in which in the fourth row position then the lowest evaporation temperature of the refrigerant is present, also very individual and advantageous cooling scenarios.

Especially when, in addition, the temperature-controlled expansion valves are present, the refrigerant distributions and evaporation temperatures in the individual evaporators can be regulated individually and precisely.

Thus, for example, it may also be provided if there are no liquids in the dispensing containers and thus no first liquid in the first dispensing container and no second liquid in the second dispenser container, then that both the first dispensing container and the first storage container corresponding to the first Liquid can be used as storage tanks or storage containers. The same also applies to the second liquid with regard to the storage possibilities in the second dispensing container and in the second storage container. Preferably then existing valves are each open between a dispensing container and a storage container and then there is a respective same evaporation temperature. In particular, the evaporation pressure for the respective container for the first liquid or for the second liquid is set via valves in the direction of flow of the refrigerant, viewed in front of the respective dispensing containers.

This therefore means that in the case where no first liquid is present in a first dispensing container, both the first dispensing container and the first storage container with the first liquid are used as a cooling container. Accordingly, this also means that in the case where no second liquid is present in a second dispensing container, both the second dispensing container and the second storage container with the second liquid are used as a cooling container.

Moreover, it is also possible that after a dispensing of beverages via the dispensing unit, the first dispensing container, which can receive the first liquid or else the second dispensing container, which is provided to receive the second liquid, with the supply of respective liquid from the respective associated storage container, namely the first storage container or the second storage container, is filled and then the respective storage container with respective warmer, fresh liquid is filled. It may then be provided, for example, that the first storage container is then filled with warm, fresh first liquid, in particular water. Accordingly, in addition to or instead of then then the second storage container with warm second liquid, in particular alcohol or an alcoholic liquid, are filled.

In these exemplary cases can then be set via the respective expansion valve of the respective output container, an evaporation temperature very close or corresponding to the liquid temperature to the temperature of each liquid to be considered, namely the first liquid, for example water, or the second liquid, for example alcohol or a alcoholic liquid.

By a valve arranged in the refrigerant circuit in the refrigerant circuit upstream of the storage container in the refrigerant circuit valve, a lower temperature is set to then cool down the liquid, which was introduced as a warm, fresh liquid.

It can also be provided that a target temperature is set and achieved both in a dispensing container and in a storage container if no drinks are to be dispensed. In such an embodiment, the evaporators of all containers are then preferably brought to an evaporation temperature close to the temperature of the respective liquid. In particular, a valve is then opened between an output container and a storage container.

In a valve between the first storage container and the second output container then the two pressure levels and thus the two different target temperatures for the respective containers and thus both the first liquid and the second liquid can be realized.

It is here in this circuit, the mass flow and thus the cooling capacity for the two evaporators, which are thermally coupled to the first dispensing container and the first storage container, determined by an evaporator, which is thermally coupled to the second storage container or the second dispensing container. In such an embodiment, in which the containers are all arranged in a series connection to each other, then each individually associated evaporator of the refrigeration cycle can be operated at 100% RED, which counteracts a lower mass flow. This is advantageous because normally the duty cycle relative to the compressor of the refrigeration cycle is indicated. When a However, if the compressor is operated with 100% RED, this does not yet mean that all evaporators are also supplied with refrigerant at 100% RED and thus 100% of the compressor run time.

In a further advantageous alternative embodiment, it is provided that a series connection of the first dispensing container and the first storage container are connected in a parallel circuit in the refrigeration cycle parallel to the series connection of the second dispensing container and the second storage container or thermally coupled therein are arranged accordingly.

In such a parallel connection of the respectively provided pairs of containers that part of the circuit and thus that branch of the parallel circuit, in which the first liquid is to be provided, and thus concerning the first output container and the first storage container, operated with a significantly higher cooling capacity than in the alternative mentioned above Series connection of all four containers to each other.

It can be provided that in such a parallel circuit in a first partial circuit of the parallel circuit in the flow direction of the refrigerant in the first partial circuit after the first storage container, a first stop valve or a first check valve is arranged and / or in a second partial circuit of the parallel circuit in the flow direction of Refrigerant in the second partial circuit considered after the second storage container, a second stop valve or a second check valve is arranged. The generation of the individual cooling capacities as well as the independent operation and thus the independent cooling of the respective containers and thus also the liquids possibly contained therein is thereby improved or efficient.

If, structurally, there is no 100% blockage of the circuit with expansion valves, it can preferably be provided that an additional stop valve can be installed in each of the parallel partial circuits upstream of the first expansion valve.

It is preferably provided that the first storage container is a cooling container, in which the first liquid is coolable to a target for output to the output unit target temperature and / or the second storage container is a cooling container, in which the second liquid to a for output to the output unit intended target temperature is coolable. As a result of this configuration, the respectively additionally existing storage containers can store the respective liquid and already cool very precisely to a very defined desired temperature, so that the respective liquid is already cooled accordingly when it is forwarded to the respectively associated dispensing container and from there into the dispensing unit.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the refrigeration cycle is designed such that the target temperature of the first storage container is between 0.8 ° C and 8 ° C and / or the target temperature of the second storage container between -8 ° C and -20 ° C, especially between -13 ° C and -17 ° C, is.

This is particularly advantageous when the first liquid has a freezing point greater than 0 ° C and the second liquid has a freezing point smaller, in particular significantly lower than 0 ° C.

In particular, the first liquid is water and / or the second liquid is alcohol or an alcoholic liquid. In such a configuration alcoholic mixed drinks can be produced in a variety of ways and varied.

It is preferably provided that the first storage container is connected to the first discharge container with a first delivery line, in which a first delivery pump for conveying the first liquid from the first storage container to the first output container is connected. As a result, the liquid is actively promoted by a corresponding feed pump and it can thus be forwarded relatively quickly large quantities. It may additionally or instead also be provided, in particular, that the second storage container is connected to the second dispensing container with a second delivery line, in which a second delivery pump for conveying the second liquid from the second storage container to the second dispensing container is connected. The corresponding advantages apply here analogously.

In a further alternative embodiment, provision can be made, in particular, for the first storage container to be connected to the first discharge container with a first delivery line, and for an inner volume of the first storage container to be greater than an inner volume of the first delivery container, the first storage container thus for the first dispensing container in the first dispensing container Mixed beverage generating device is arranged, that the first liquid is conveyer pump-free and thus without the presence of a feed pump and only based on the gravitational force from the first storage container in the first output container is conductive. It may additionally or instead also be provided that the second storage container is connected to the second output container with a second delivery line and an inner volume of the second storage container greater than an internal volume of the second dispensing container, wherein the second storage container is arranged to the first dispensing container, that the second liquid is conveyer pump-free and thus without the presence of a feed pump and only based on the gravitational force from the second storage container into the second dispenser container is conductive. In these embodiments, then a component, namely a feed pump, saved, so that here, too, the energy required for the operation of the feed pump is not incurred.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided in this alternative design that in the first delivery line, a first flap is connected and the delivery of the first liquid is realized by the birdbath principle and / or in the second delivery line, a second flap is connected and the conveying of the second liquid realized by the birdbath principle. This creates a very simple way to spend the respective liquids from a storage container to a dispenser. The birdbath principle is also relatively robust, so that a permanently high functionality is given. In addition, a very needs-based and quantitatively defined liquid line can be made from a storage container to a dispensing container.

Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for producing and dispensing a mixed beverage with a mixed beverage production device according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof. In the method, a first liquid in a first storage container is directed to a first output container of the mixed beverage producing apparatus connected thereto and a second liquid in a second storage container of the mixed beverage producing apparatus is directed to a second output container of the mixed beverage producing apparatus connected thereto, and depending on the the mixed beverage to be produced and dispensed, the first liquid is led from the first dispensing container to an outlet of the mixed beverage producing apparatus and / or the second liquid is passed from the second dispensing container to the dispensing unit of the mixed beverage producing apparatus.

In particular, the dispensing of the beverage to be produced, in particular of a mixed beverage, at the dispensing unit is then also controlled via the control unit.

Preferably, the second liquid is alcohol or an alcoholic liquid. Especially with these specific embodiments can thus be produced and issued very demand-oriented mixed alcohol beverage with the mixed drink generating device and an alcoholic mixed beverage.

It is therefore even in these embodiments avoidable that too extensive subsequent addition of cooling elements, such as ice cubes would be required in the already issued mixed drink, in order then to achieve a desired consumption temperature of the mixed beverage.

The mixed drink generating device 7 includes an output unit 20 in particular with a single outlet 21 , It can preferably be provided that for the discharge of each liquid from a container each have their own outlet is present. In addition, it can also be provided that this mixed drink to be produced, which can be produced from at least two different liquids and thus mixed, can additionally be admixed with an additive in powder form or gel form or other liquid form. For this purpose, it may be provided, in particular, that a capsule holder 22 is formed, in which a capsule having said additive can be used. When dispensing the mixed beverage, this ingredient or additive is then removed from the capsule and the mixed beverage in particular before the over the outlet 21 added to the drinking vessel.

In addition, it can be provided in particular that the mixed beverage generating device 7 a capsule storage 23 or a capsule bearing has. In this capsule storage 23 One or more capsules can be stored so that they are always available close to the device itself. In an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that this capsule storage 23 Is cooled, so that the capsules therein can be stored cooled accordingly.

It is preferably provided that the capsule storage 23 can be opened by a push-push mechanism and, for example in the form of a sliding bearing in the form of a rail then the capsules contained therein are freely accessible and can be easily removed, for example, from above.

In addition, it can also be provided that the mixed beverage generating device 7 a cartridge for admixing carbon dioxide in the mixed beverage has. In addition the accessibility to the cartridge exchange over at least one existing entrance is 15 allows. In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the mixed beverage generating device 7 is connected to a household appliance external water connection, so that a supply of water is possible, for example via a domestic water network. This has the additional advantage that a liquid to be added to the mixed beverage as water is not present in a large-sized container in the mixed-beverage production device 7 must be stored, but that this container can then be dimensioned smaller and can be refilled according to demand and situation adapted. It can then also be provided that such a water supply for producing the mixed beverage does not come from the tank or the container used to hold this liquid in the mixed beverage production device 7 is provided, is supplied, but in addition to or instead also directly from this line to the output unit 20 and thus also to the outlet 21 can be performed.

Thus, especially in the production of hot drinks instead of a cold drink, the energy required for heating is reduced because the initial temperature of the water is higher. Should a carbonation of the mixed beverage then be desired, this can be done by adding carbonated cold water contained in the mixed beverage generating device 7 is cooled, or be made possible by a carbonated second liquid, which is then present in the second container, take place.

In particular, it is provided that the mixed beverage generating device 7 a first container, in which then a first liquid having a first freezing point, in particular water, is kept or stored, in order then to provide it as needed for generating and dispensing a mixed beverage. The mixed drink generating device 7 moreover comprises a second container separated therefrom, which is designed to receive a second liquid, which differs from the first liquid, and which has a freezing point different from the first liquid. In particular, the first liquid is water and the second liquid is alcohol, so that the mixed drink may also be an alcoholized mixed beverage.

In an advantageous embodiment, wherein the mixed beverage generating device 7 is designed not only for dispensing a cooled mixed beverage, but also for dispensing a hot beverage, at least one heater is provided. This is preferably close to the outlet 21 attached to minimize heat loss and the least possible heat input to the inside of the household refrigerator 1 to allow. The heater can be the conduit of the outlet 21 to contact. This heater may also preferably be part of an insulation of the capsule mechanism and thus the capsule receptacle 22 represent. To avoid a heat input in the household refrigerator 1 it is advantageous to thermal insulation on the additional heater to the output unit 20 to install. With appropriate thermal insulation, for example, by an airgel, the heat is dissipated mainly to the outside into the environment. Since the heater is only activated for a short time when a corresponding hot drink is to be generated and dispensed, the heat conduction through the lines that lead to the outside is significantly higher than the heat conduction through the insulation to the inside. In addition, it is advantageous if the insulation has a high heat capacity or contains a thermal storage material, for example a phase change material. The waste heat of the heater is preferably buffered in such a configuration in the material, temperature peaks can be reduced and overall the heat input to the inside can be significantly reduced. This thermal storage can with the externally visible surfaces of the output unit 20 be thermally connected. This increases the temperature of these surfaces and a possible condensation of moisture can be prevented.

It may also be provided that lines of outlets 21 in the output unit 20 , which are designed to dispense one or more liquids, are equipped with Peltier elements that allow an active cooling or heating of the lines. If, after the dispensing of a hot beverage by a user, a cold drink is desired, the situation arises that the lines of the dispensing unit 20 can still be warm. The cold water or the cold alcohol from the containers mentioned heat up, so that the finished cold beverage has a higher temperature than desired. This can be counteracted by the Peltier elements since the lines always have the same temperature due to cooling. Thus, it is then achieved that a cold drink or a hot beverage regardless of the temperature of the previous dispensed beverage has the user's desired temperature.

By the respective mentioned cooling possibility of the capsules in the capsule storage 23 Also, the shelf life of the capsules can be prolonged at low temperatures.

Preferably, this is also designed in particular as a drawer capsule storage 23 thermally insulated in the front region, for example with an EPS (expanded polystyrene) component or a PU (polyurethane) component or an airgel component in order to reduce the incidence of heat. As a result, the front side visible surface of the capsule storage 23 be thermally insulated so that no undesirable cold temperatures occur that would be uncomfortable for a user when attacking or touching.

Through the in 2 embodiment shown is at the first output container 28 achieved a maximum evaporation temperature of the refrigerant, up to the second storage container 43 decreases, at which then the lowest evaporation temperature of the refrigerant occurs. By the particular temperature-controlled expansion valves 35 . 38 . 48 and 51 can the refrigerant distributions with a respective evaporation temperature in the individual evaporators 33 . 34 . 46 and 47 regulate. So it can be provided, for example, if no liquids in the output containers 28 and 41 are present, the first output container 28 and the first storage container 30 be used as a cooling container. However, the same can also be provided if no second liquid 42 in the second output container 41 is present, so that in this case then the second output container 41 and the second storage container 43 be used as a cooling container. In particular, then the expansion valve 51 open and there is always a same evaporation temperature. The same is true even in the case when the first output container 28 and the first storage container 30 each used as a cooling tank, so even then the expansion valve 38 is open and same evaporation temperatures in the evaporators 33 and 34 given are.
