Abstract

A convertible multiflavor postmix beverage dispenser comprising a refrigeration module housing (212) and a separate dispense module housing (210), removable connecting means for connecting the housings together to operate as a one-post unit and for separating the housings from each other to operate as a two-piece unit, a vent arrangement that has one air flow (229,230) when the refrigeration and dispense modules are attached and a different flow (233,230) when the modules are separated, and a water circuit in which the soda or carbonated water is cooled again downstream from the carbonator and in which the soda is continuously recirculated, but not through the carbonator, when the refrigeration module is remote. <IMAGE>
