- the Flow guiding device is in particular a Strömungsleitrahmen or baffle 40 a, the in perspective in Figure 5 and in cross-section in various embodiments in FIG 6 is shown.
- this baffle frame 40a Decisive for the function of this baffle frame 40a is on the one hand its position relative to the lowermost evaporator tube 14a in the ice bank 30 or to the lowest layer of evaporator tubes 14, if these, for example, on the walls 24 of the container 20th circulate.
- decisive for the function of the baffle frame 40a are the Shape and dimensions of the frame profile. Basically, the shape of the profile must be in the lead substantially rectangular deflection of the water flow (see Figures 3, 5 and 6), assuming that the main flow before the deflection parallel to the Container bottom 22 extends, as described above with respect to Figure 1.
- the rectangular deflection of the water flow S causes the Water after the deflection substantially to the entire evaporator or Eisbank components 16 along and substantially parallel to this flows.

- shapes should be appropriate Figures 6 (B) or (C) are selected.
- the upper leg 42 passes over an essentially arcuate intermediate piece in the lower leg 44 via.
- the radius R decisively influences the Quality of the diversion, and he is preferably to choose as large as possible.
- the upper leg 42 passes over an oblique intermediate piece in the lower leg 44, wherein the slope at an angle ⁇ opposite the container bottom 22 and the lower leg 44 is inclined.
- the angle ⁇ should preferably be approximately equal to 45 °, and the slope should be as long as possible.
- the angle ⁇ should preferably be approximately equal to 45 °, and the slope should be as long as possible.
- Taylor-Goertler longitudinal vortices in the flow be induced.
- Such longitudinal vortices may be at a superposition of a wall boundary layer arise with centrifugal forces, as in the present case in the overflow of the baffle given is.
- Such longitudinal vortices can in particular have a positive effect on the Have heat transfer.
- the upper leg 42 of the frame 40a may in turn be aligned parallel to the evaporator / ice bank surface 16, i. he forms the same angle with the lower leg 44 of the frame 40a as between Evaporator / Eisbank constitutional 16 and container bottom 22 is formed.

If the angle ⁇ is chosen to be greater than 90 °, the leaching effects occur in the ice bank as explained above with reference to FIG. As a result, the inventive Task can not be sufficiently solved, and the effectiveness of the flow guide would be lifted at least in part. If the angle ⁇ is less than 90 ° is chosen, the object of the invention is also not sufficiently solved since the water flow immediately after the deflection of the evaporator / Eisbank vom 16 would replace and remove them. This would be the heat transfer between Water and evaporator in turn deteriorates, bringing the performance and efficiency the beverage cooler would in turn be reduced.
- the minimum distance of the Strömungsleitrahmens 40 from the evaporator coil results from the minimum distance X between evaporator tubes 14 and the (not shown) beverage-carrying pipes.

- the embossing or the projection is 50 radially disposed at the outermost position of the container bottom 22, ie in the lower, outer corner of the container, so that they are just below the evaporator surface or the Ice bank 30 is located.
- the radially inner leg of the embossing 50 can to a certain extent form the extension of the evaporator / Eisbank materials 16 down, with a deflection the water flow S up again through this parallel to the Evaporator / Eisbank materials 16 aligned legs is effected.
- Strömungsleitrahmens 40 has opposite projections or embossments 50th in the container bottom the advantage that the operation of the beverage cooling device more individual and more flexible can be done by putting in the same cooling device as needed different sized Strömungsleitrahmen 40 can be used.
- embossments 50 rigidly and integrally connected to the container 20.
- the Production of Strömungsleitrahmens regardless of the beverage cooling container, manufacturing technology easier than the production of the embossments or protrusions in the container bottom. In the case of circulating in the container evaporator tubes or coils must also the embossing in a corresponding manner continuously circulate on the container bottom, which manufacturing technology can also be problematic.
- the beverage cooling device according to the invention are the evaporator / Eisbank lake in essentially arranged on the container walls, and they extend substantially to the Container bottom.
- the radially arranged within the evaporator surfaces frame profile can In this case, rest on the bottom of the container.

- the container wall 24 forms together with the outwardly facing evaporator surface 16 so to speak a guideway or channel for the particular partial water flow. How to proceed has already been explained, by this embodiment, the heat transfer surface of the Ice bank 30 and the evaporator approximately doubled. In favorable cases, the flow around Ice surface even more than doubles.
- a second Frame profile 40b may be provided below and at least partially radially outside the ice bank 30 or the evaporator / Eisbank lake 16 is arranged.
