Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for producing carbonated Water with a water flowable container and one in the container mouthful carbonic acid feed.
- water is carbonated to produce a beverage.
- the water is introduced into a container by means of a nozzle.
- CO 2 is additionally introduced into the container.
- the CO 2 can dissolve in the container in the water.
- the water flowing out of the container is then carbonized.
- This carbonated water can be used directly as a drink.
- a beverage concentrate is added to the carbonated water.
- water can be carbonized by atomizing it in a CO 2 atmosphere. When the water is atomized, CO 2 diffuses into the water droplets. In this way carbonized water (soda water) is formed.
- the degree of saturation of the water with CO 2 depends to a large extent on the CO 2 pressure and the temperature of the water injected.
- the invention has for its object a generic device to improve.
- Claim 1 provides in particular that the CO 2 feed line is assigned to the bottom region of the container.
- the head area of the container has a CO 2 drain for the removal of CO 2 not dissolved in the water. This CO 2 is led into the water through the CO 2 supply in the bottom area.
- a gas compressor lies between the CO 2 discharge of the head of the container and the CO 2 supply of the bottom of the container. With this gas compressor, the CO 2 accumulating in the head area of the container can be extracted.
- the tank has two level sensors to keep the water level at a certain level.
- a level sensor responds when the water level falls below a minimum level.
- the other sensor responds when the water level exceeds a maximum level.
- the water is supplied via the top of the container.
- the water is drained from the bottom of the tank.
- the carbonic acid supply is formed by a porous hollow body.
- This porous hollow body can be a filter cartridge made of ceramic or plastic.
- the porosity of this hollow body is preferably between 20 and 60 ⁇ m.
- the carbonic acid can be supplied continuously. However, it is also envisaged to supply them at intervals.
- two or more containers are strung together.
- the water inlet and level sensors are preferably arranged in different containers. The consequence of this is that the water level in the area of the level sensors is not disturbed by incoming water, which could lead to a falsification of the level measurement values.
- the CO 2 sucked out of the head region of the container by the gas pump is returned to the feed line in the region of the container bottom.
- the feed line opens into the porous hollow body, which is attached to the bottom of the container.
- the CO 2 comes out of the hollow body through the walls of the porous hollow body and rises in the form of microscopic bubbles in the water. It is partially dissolved in water.
- the excess CO 2 collects in the head region of the container in order to be suctioned off and returned in the manner described.
- the container 1 has a cylindrical shape, the cylinder axis extending in the vertical.
- the vertical length of the container (height) is at least 400mm.
- the mouth of a CO 2 channel 15 is located in the center of the bottom 3 of the container 1.
- the CO 2 channel 15 opens into a CO 2 feed, which has the shape of a porous body 2.
- the porous body 2 has the shape of a tube closed at the end.
- the CO 2 flowing into the cavity of the body 2 can emerge from the hollow body 2 through the pores of the porous body 2.
- the pore size is approximately 20 to 60 ⁇ m.
- a water supply line 11 This forms a nozzle through which the water can flow into the container 1.
- a water drain 12 At the bottom 3 of the container 1 there is a water drain 12. Through this water drain 12, the water enriched with CO 2 is fed to an output device, not shown, in the form of a spout.
- the control of the water supply in the head area 1 "of the container 1 is carried out by means of a solenoid valve 17.
- the level sensor 7 detects the maximum level of the water level 9.
- the level sensor 8 detects the minimum value of the water level 9.
- a gas compressor 6 can be controlled.
- This gas compressor 6 sucks CO 2 from the head region 1 "of the container 1 by means of a CO 2 discharge 5.
- an almost constant CO 2 volume 10 remains above the water level 9.
- the through the CO 2 5 dissipation by means of the pump 6 sucked CO 2 is fed to 2 -Einspeiseön 15 by a CO 2 passage 25 a CO, which opens into the CO 2 supply.
- a CO 2 feed from a CO 2 bottle or the like opens into the CO 2 feed line 15.
- a check valve 16 is connected between this and the feed line 15 in order to prevent the gas compressor 6 from conveying CO 2 in the direction of the storage bottle.
- FIG. 2 and 3 shows a device which has the same elements as described with reference to FIG. 1 were discussed above.
- this device has a second Container 14 on.
- This container 14 is connected to the container 1 in such a way that both containers communicate with each other and a common water level 9 have.
- the one with the reference number in FIG. 3 is used 23 designated water drainage channel 23 and other, not shown Channels.
- the overall height is reduced.
- the CO 2 discharge takes place via the two openings 5 in the area of the head 4 of the container. These two openings 5 are connected to one another via a CO 2 channel 24.
- the CO 2 passage 24 is located on the suction side of the pump 6.
- CO 2 is the two CO 2 fed to injection account.
- Each container 1, 14 has a CO 2 supply on the bottom side 1 ", 14". However, only the container 14 has a water inlet in the form of a nozzle.
- the other container 1 has the two sensors 7, 8.
- the check valve 16 in the CO 2 feed line is integrated in the device housing made of metal or plastic.
- a check valve 26 for the water supply line is also integrated into the housing.
- the solenoid valve Located in the direction of flow immediately before the check valve 26 the solenoid valve 17.
- the solenoid valve is a pellet valve.
- a cylindrical valve cone 19 sits on a valve seat 18.
- On the valve cone 19 engages a lever 21 which is pivotable about a bearing 22.
- On the power arm the lever 21 engages an electromagnet 20 in order to energize the Lift valve plug 19 off the valve seat.
- the valve cone is held by a spring 19 otherwise pressed onto the valve seat 18.
- the water drain 12 has a solenoid valve at the end. If this solenoid valve opens, water can flow out of the container 1 through the drain 12. Water is introduced into the container through the nozzle 11 and the opening solenoid valve 17. The water introduced is essentially CO 2 free. The water emerging from line 12 is enriched with CO 2 . The CO 2 is supplied by a check valve 16 from a CO 2 bottle or the like. The CO 2 flows through the channel 15 in order to exit through the porous hollow bodies 2 into the water and to partially dissolve therein. CO 2 which is not dissolved in the water collects in the head volume 10 in order to be sucked off there in the pump 6. The extracted CO 2 is returned to the CO 2 channel 15 via the return line 25.
