Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to the food industry, in particular to commercial equipment, and can be used for dispensing beer and other beverages from isothermal containers.
- An apparatus is known for dosing and dispensing frothing liquids from isothermal containers, the apparatus comprising a system for delivering compressed gas with a pressure regulator, a surplus pressure release valve, a liquid level gauge, a cooling system comprising an evaporator, valves of liquid delivery and an additional container communicating with the isothermal container through a separating valve (see Inventor's Certificate SU No 1142435, class B 67
D 1/00, from 3 October 1983). - A disadvantage of the known device is the limitation of functional capabilities, since its construction does not make its use in a multipoint dispensing system possible with preservation of all the initial parameters of the beverage.
- A beer-dispensing device is known, comprising an isothermal container with beer, a beer supercharge system, a cooling system and a dispenser, equipped with a system of pipelines with cocks for delivering beer to be dispensed and a pipeline for feeding the beer to the dispenser (see patent JP 2703006 B2 2166092A, from 15 December 1988, class B 27
D 1/08, published in "Inventions of the World," issue 34, No. 2/99, p. 39). - However, this known device is not capable of preserving all the initial parameters of the beverage when it is used in a multipoint beer-dispensing system, especially when dispensing non-filtered beer, requiring an especially strict temperature mode during all stages of dispensing.
- The prior art closest to the claimed invention in respect to technical essence is a beer-dispensing device comprising a container for the beverage, a cooling system and a dispenser equipped with a pipeline system with cocks for delivering the beverage for dispensing and with a main pipeline for dispensing, a dispenser made in the form of a closed circuit and provided with a pump for circulating the beverage along it and with a cooler (see PCT application - WO 97/28082, class B 67
D 1/08, from 3 February 1997). - However, this known device is not capable either of providing preservation of all the initial parameters of the beverage in a multipoint dispensing system because of the absence of control of the homogeneity of beverage flow, and this does not exclude the delivery of an excessive amount of foam to a consumer.
- Furthermore, due to the absence of a holding valve in the beverage-delivery pipeline, the possibility exists for a return of the beverage from the circuit to the dispensing pipeline.
- Furthermore, the construction of the known device cannot provide the necessary convenience during the use thereof in a multipoint dispensing system.
- The object of the invention is to develop a device that provides preservation of the initial parameters of the beverage in a multipoint beer-dispensing system and also convenience in operation as a result of simplifying the delivery of beer to a consumer with the necessary control of its quality.
- This object is attained in a beer-dispensing device comprising a cooling system, at least one isothermal container for a beverage, to which a dispenser is connected through a main beer-delivery pipeline, the dispenser being equipped at outlets with a system of subsidiary pipelines with beer-delivery cocks for dispensing, in that in accordance with the invention, the dispenser is made in the form of N closed circuits, where N is a whole number, and is provided with a pump for circulating beer along the dispenser and with a beer cooler, and a holding valve is arranged on the main beer-delivery pipeline.
- Furthermore, a flow homogeneity sensor may be arranged on the main beer-delivery pipeline and an electromagnetic valve is arranged on each outlet of the aforesaid closed circuits and is functionally connected to the aforesaid flow homogeneity sensor, and also a holding valve may be arranged in each closed circuit, and in addition to this the device may be provided with a beer supercharging system.
- Furthermore, in accordance with the invention, a flow meter that is functionally connected to a registrar of the amount of beer is arranged for each cock for delivering beer for dispensing, and an electromagnetic valve is functionally connected to the registrar of the amount of beer.
- The essence of the invention is that the realization of the dispenser with N closed circuits provided with a pump for circulating beer along the dispenser and a cooler and insertion of the holding valve and flow homogeneity sensor makes it possible to ensure the necessary temperature conditions in all the distribution circuits and to exclude the entrance of off-standard beverage with an excessive amount of foam.
- The arrangement of the holding valve on the main beer-delivery pipeline in the dispenser excludes the return of beer from the dispenser circuit and ensures normal functioning of the multipoint beer-dispensing system.
- The presence of the flow homogeneity sensor excludes the delivery of off-standard beer to a customer.
- Fig. 1 shows a beer-dispensing device, and Fig. 2 shows a variant of its embodiment with N = 2 closed circuits.
- The beer-dispensing device (Fig. 1) comprises an
isothermal beverage container 1 for the final beer product, asystem 2 for pressurization of the beer, acooling system 3 with apump 4, adispenser 5 connected to theisothermal container 1 by amain pipeline 6 for delivery of beer to thedispenser 5 and equipped with system of pipelines withcocks 7 for delivering beer for dispensing. Aholding valve 8 is arranged on thepipeline 6, and thedispenser 5 may be made in the form of N closed circuits, where N is a whole number, and equipped with apump 9 for circulating beer along it, and with abeer cooler 10 connected to thecooling system 3. - The
beer cooler 10 can be made in accordance with the "tube in tube" principle or in the form of a plate heat exchanger arranged on a separate section of thedispenser 5 or along the whole circuit thereof, including themain pipeline 6 for delivering beer to thedispenser 5 and pipelines withcocks 7 for delivery of beer from thedispenser 5 for dispensing. - A variant of the device (Fig. 2) has a dispenser with N = 2 circuits and additionally contains a flow homogeneity sensor 11 arranged in the
main pipeline 6 for delivering beer to thedispenser 5, and anelectromagnetic valve 12 functionally connected to a flow homogeneity sensor 11 andcorresponding flow meter 13 andregistrator 14 of the amount of beer, which perform the role of a unit for calculating the amount of the beverage. Theflow meter 13, for example, of the MAC 435 type, serves to convert the beverage flow into electrical pulses, and theregistrator 14, for example, of the "Rescontrol" type, Finland, converts the electric pulses from theflow meter 13 into the amount of consumed beverage, for example, into "ml." - Furthermore, a
holding valve 15 for providing one-way flow through the circuit is arranged in each closed circuit. The closed circuits of thedevice 5 may have at least onegeneral pipeline 16 in which apump 9 is arranged, a cooler 10 andindividual pipelines 17. Thegeneral pipeline 16 is connected to aninput 18 of thedispenser 5 to which the second output of themain pipeline 6 is connected, and theoutputs 19 of thedispenser 5 are made by outlets from theindividual pipelines 17. - Each of N
subsidiary pipelines 20 is connected by one outlet to acorresponding output 19 of thedispenser 5, and theelectromagnetic valve 12, functionally connected to the flow homogeneity sensor 11, is arranged on at least onesubsidiary pipeline 20. - Furthermore, the
electromagnetic valve 12 may be functionally connected to a corresponding unit for calculating the amount of the beverage if fixed delivery of the beverage is required. - The
beer cooler 10 may be made according to the "tube in tube" principle or in the form of a plate heat exchanger on a separate section of thedevice 5 or along all of its circuits. - The
main pipeline 6 andsubsidiary pipelines 20 can also be provided with coolers which may be connected to thecooling system 3. - In order to expand the functional capabilities, the system may be provided with at least one additional container for the beverage (not shown in the drawing) that can be arranged with the possibility for its connection to at least one dispensing
cock 7 arranged on a bar. - The final beer product, cooled by the
system 3, is fed from theisothermal container 1 under the pressure of thesystem 2 along thepipeline 6 through theholding valve 8 and theflow homogeneity sensor 9 to theinput 18 of thedispenser 5, where it circulates in its circuit under the action of thepump 9. Thecooler 10 provides maintenance of the temperature of the beer in thedispenser 5, from which it is poured into a customer's container along the pipelines withcocks 7 through theelectromagnetic valves 12 andflow meters 13. Theholding valve 8 excludes the return of beer from the dispenser to theisothermal container 1. - The flow homogeneity sensor 11 reacts to the appearance of gas bubbles in the flow (foam) and sends a signal to all the
valves 12, which close at that signal and thus stop the delivery of beer from thedispenser 5. This process takes place when theisothermal container 1 is emptied or when the temperature conditions of storage are disturbed, this resulting in the appearance of foam in a pipe, and thus the delivery of off-standard beer to a customer is eliminated. The arrangement of aflow meter 13, functionally connected to theregistrator 14, on eachcock 7 makes it possible to take the consumption of beer into account, and in some cases, relate them functionally to theelectromagnetic valve 12, and dose the beer during dispensing. - The
flow meter 13 provides information on the number of revolutions of its turbine to theregistrar 14 which acts on theelectromagnetic valve 12 when it reaches a predetermined number of revolutions. - This makes it possible to arrange the
cocks 7 on each table in a restaurant and thus simplify the servicing of customers with the necessary control of the beer quality. - The arrangement of the
holding valves 15 makes it possible to maintain stable pressure in the zone of suction of thepump 9, in spite of changes in the consumption of beer from thedispenser 5. - The possibility for operative connection of an additional container for the beverage to the dispensing cocks of a bar makes it possible to expand the range of beverages without the expensive re-equipment of the system, wherewith the additional container for the beverage may be made in transport embodiment.
- Thus, in the proposed device a reliable workability is achieved under conditions of a multipoint beer-dispensing system with maintenance therein of the initial parameters of the beverage.
- The aforesaid device makes it possible to simultaneously carry out independent dispensing of different beverages, using containers with different beverages, connecting
corresponding dispensers 5 to them through the main pipelines, thus ensuring the necessary stability of the parameters of the beverage and corresponding dispensing cocks are connected to outlets of the dispenser through subsidiary pipelines. - The indicated advantages of the proposed beer-dispensing device provide the possibility for broad use in the food industry.
