Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for enriching water with CO gas for producing carbonized water in a storage container, which is cooled with cooling lines of a cooling circuit in the reservoir for cooling its content and for forming an ice jacket in the wall area
- a circulating pump is arranged inside, through which CO gas from the head region of the pre-
- CO gas can be supplied in the head area and from the carbonized
- CO-containing soft drinks by mixing carbonated
- prepared water can be prepared and dispensed with an appropriate beverage concentrate.
- the beverage con Soda water to be admixed is fed into the storage container by enriching it with water
- CO gas supplied namely from a CO gas storage container
- cooling the carbonator serves on the one hand to improve the carbonation and on the other hand as a prerequisite that the final prepared and dispensed beverage has the desired low and essentially constant temperature.
- the carbonator is expediently cooled by means of a cooling system which is able to build up an ice jacket in the side region of the side walls of the carbonator, which ice jacket is formed to a certain extent by the circulated water.
- "cold capacity" is stored and the cooling system need not be designed to be extremely powerful, as is necessary in the case of flow cooling. would be agile. Arrangements with a corresponding structure are known (DE-A-40 25 986.2).
- a shut-off valve is opened in a line connected to the bottom area of the carbonator and the cooled, carbonated water is removed for this purpose. Since the water is cooled in the area of the cooling coils in the vicinity of the freezing point with regard to the ice coat being formed, there is a certain risk that ice particles or parts will get into the area of the outflow opening and block it . Ice formation in this area itself is rather impossible, since because of the special behavior of the water with regard to its specific density in the vicinity of the freezing point, the somewhat warmer water would sink downward, and since the outlet opening is expediently in the vicinity of the an Circulating pump radiating some heat is arranged.
- the ice Due to the circulating movement of the water, which is necessary or at least useful for the carbonization and for the uniform formation of the ice jacket on the walls, however, the ice can become detached or floating or floating ice in the upper areas with a particularly open discharge channel in reach its area.
- a device that meets these requirements is characterized in that the circulation pump within the Storage container, which is used to produce carbonized water by enriching water with CO gas
- a device with measures according to these features according to the invention is characterized in that the sufficient carbonation of the water with CO gas is accomplished and / or supported in the operating phases of the circulating pump
- the carbonized water can stratify according to its natural density, whereby the somewhat warmer water sinks down and the somewhat colder water together with any ice particles that may be present or ice particles rise to the top, the ice particles and ice particles tending to come together and lie against the ice jacket in the upper region of the carbonator.
- the clocking of the circulating pump can be carried out by a timing control circuit that functions simply in terms of control technology.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the on-time of the circulation pump is approximately 1 to 2 minutes and the ratio of the on-time to the off-time is approximately 1:10 to 1:20. It turns out that an on-time of one to two minutes within on-off cycles from 1:10 to 1:20 is sufficient re-carbonation of the water and is able to achieve a sufficiently uniform ice jacket design.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that when carbonized water is removed from the storage container or when fresh water is supplied to the storage container, the circulation pump is put into operation during this phase including a follow-up phase. A follow-up phase of approximately 2 to 4 minutes is expedient. Then the control cycle starts again, in which the circulation pump is switched on for 1 to 2 minutes and the switch-off time between the switch-on phases is 10 to 20 times as long.
- Fig. 1 shows a cooled storage container for the preparation and for the preparation of carbonated water with a circulation pump and
- FIG. 2 shows a similar storage container, but additionally with cooling coils inside this storage container and on this storage container for cooling another medium.
- a storage container 1 is suitable and intended for use in devices for the preparation of soft drinks by admixing an appropriate concentrate to carbonated water or possibly also to normal water. Via a feed line 2, the storage container is required
- Fresh water and 3 CO gas supplied via a feed line Fresh water and 3 CO gas supplied via a feed line.
- a sufficient amount of carbonated and cooled water is taken in portions via an outlet line 4 to prepare a refreshing drink.
- the sufficient Karbonisie ⁇ tion is at least supported by a circulation pump 5, which sucks the CO gas located there from the head region 6 of the storage container 1 via an intake pipe 7 and mixes it into the stored water 8 at the level of the circulation pump 5. This CO gas is largely in the water
- the circulation pump 5 is driven by an electric motor 9.
- the cooling of the water supply takes place via evaporator coils 10 of a cooling system, not shown, in such a way that an ice jacket 11 builds up in the interior of the storage container 1 in the area of the evaporator coils 10, which rest on the wall of the storage container 1 with good thermal conductivity .
- the thickness of this ice jacket 11 is monitored by an ice sensor 12, from which the refrigeration cycle and thus the cooling capacity is controlled.
- this ice jacket 11 has the effect that the reservoir of water 8 is cooled to a very constant temperature in the immediate area of the freezing point without very sensitive detection and evaluation measures, and the temperature is essentially maintained when water changes take place , ie when carbonized water is withdrawn via the outlet line 4 and - controlled by a water level sensor 13 - warmer water is supplied via the inlet line 3.
- the ice jacket degrades relatively quickly around sub-areas, which then be built up again by cooling power supplied via the evaporator lines 10.
- a known measure consists in preventing icing of the outlet opening by arranging it in the vicinity and / or below the circulating pump, the heating, in particular of the drive motor 9, having a positive effect against icing.
- this measure may not be sufficient against floating ice particles.
- the electric motor 9 is driven intermittently.
- An operating phase of approx. 1 to 2 minutes is followed by a rest phase of approx. 10 to 20 times the length.
- the circulated water 8 calms down and ice particles and ice particles floating in this water, because of their lower density, endeavor to reach the area of the surface of the water in order to unite there and / or in the edge areas. are enough to put on the ice jacket 10.
- these hazard elements are thus neutralized.
- the circuitry measures are arbitrarily simple and can be implemented, for example, in that a signal is derived from the water level sensor 13, which sets a counting chain into an initial situation during a water inflow, which causes the power supply switch 15 to the electric motor 9 to be closed . If the water level sensor 13 detects that enough water has been refilled, the water supply via the feed line 2 is blocked and the counting chain 14 begins to run off. For a time range of 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the design of the counting chain, the switch 15 remains closed, in order to be opened thereafter until the counting chain has reached the upper setting value, after which it can be switched back to the initial situation and run through again .
- Fig. 2 shows a modification of a Vorratsbehalters according to Fig. 1, wherein the reservoir l l only in the upper wall region with evaporator coils 10 'acted is so that the ice sheet is also preferably formed in the upper region of the storage container 1 '.
- the circulation pump 5 'and its drive motor 9' there are coils 16 through which other water to be cooled is passed through the carbonized water. Due to the resting phases of the circulation pump, the slightly warmer water 8 'due to its greater density collects in the lower zones of the storage container 1', so that a risk of icing in the coils 16 is also prevented.
