Definitions
- the invention relates to a home consumption keg for liquid food and in particular for beer with a barrel body and a fitting integrated in the wall thereof for filling, cleaning and / or emptying the keg as well as an automatic supply of CO 2 when required and a Bavarian tap in Area of the particularly cylindrical circumference of the keg for tapping the liquid food out of the keg.
- Bavarian tapping is understood to mean a closure element arranged laterally in the barrel body, which is provided so that a manual tap is hammered into this cylindrical closure element, the closure element opens in the process, and the tap itself is then responsible for opening or closing the barrel body.
- home consumption keg means in particular beer kegs for domestic use with long-term repeated tap dispensing without loss of quality of the drink.
- Keggy which has an integrated C0 2 tank that is filled with liquid carbonic acid.
- the Keggy requires a special tap head, which is structurally complex and very expensive to buy. It also requires considerable technical effort when refilling the CO 2 tank with liquid carbonic acid.
- party kegs which consist of a five liter tin can and are therefore very small.
- the party keg cannot be closed again and fills with air when it is tapped, which means that a beverage that remains in the barrel for a long time, particularly beer, can quickly become stale, since on the one hand the carbon dioxide from the beer into the interior filled with air of the party keg diffuses and on the other hand the oxygen from the air diffuses into the beer.
- a party barrel with Bavarian tapping which, like the well-known wooden barrels, is arranged in the circumferential area near the bottom of the barrel.
- the object of the present invention is to develop the home consumption keg described at the outset and to improve it even further in order to provide a barrel for domestic use which has improved consumption properties.
- a riser pipe is connected to the Bavarian tap.
- the riser pipe has the advantage of providing a long throttle path between the interior of the barrel and the tap, which - for example with an inside diameter of the riser pipe of approx. 2 mm - results in a large flow resistance, resulting in a low Reynolds number and ultimately a laminar one Current results, so that the beer can be tapped with adequate foaming.
- the riser pipe ensures that even using the well-known and very simple tapping technology, the tap result is good. The reason for this lies in the flow conditions within the riser pipe, although it is of course advantageous to make the riser pipe as long as possible before the Bavarian tap.
- the Bavarian tap is therefore expedient to arrange the Bavarian tap at a distance from the lower end of the barrel body when tapping (or from the filling valve technology arranged there) and in particular in the upper half of the barrel body when tapping (the actual barrel bottom in the preferred embodiment described in more detail later), so that the riser pipe extends into the can extend the opposite head region over a considerable height, which leads to a further increase in flow resistance.
- a special side effect of this Bavarian tapping is that for the first time it is now also possible to place a beer glass under the tap, which is on the same level as the keg. It is therefore not necessary to have a special device for storing the glasses be arranged below the barrel, as there is enough space under the tap for a glass to be filled and further glasses can then be arranged in a simple manner next to this glass on the tap table.
- the riser pipe should preferably have a substantially increasing profile to improve the flow conditions and cleaning.
- the keg has an integrated reducing and / or non-return valve for connecting a CO 2 container, this valve preferably being adjustable or preset so that it has an internal pressure of 0.8 to 1, 2 bar inside the barrel guaranteed.
- An external CO 2 container can then be connected to the valve or - and this is another feature essential to the invention - the keg has an integrated CO 2 container which contains a sufficient amount of CO 2 for completely emptying the keg.
- the user of the keg actually needs nothing more than a simple hand tap to tap in the simplest way a beer that corresponds to the professional conditions, which has neither an excessive foaming, nor becomes stale after shorter or longer standing times, because the necessary pressure for tapping or filling the cavity that forms in the interior of the barrel is carried out by C0 2 , which is stored in the CO 2 tank integrated in the keg. At the same time, contamination of the drink by ambient air is avoided and the kegs remain moist and clean on the inside.
- CO 2 in the CO 2 container is gaseous. This makes filling the used keg with CO 2 much easier than if it were in the liquid state, because then the filling quantity of the C0 2 would have to be checked by means of a complex volume measurement.
- CO 2 becomes liquid at 20 bar, for example, only from -10 ° C, so that the volume to be filled must be calculated taking into account the weight, taking into account pressure and temperature.
- the reducing and / or non-return valve is arranged in the upper barrel body area when tapping, this has the further effect that the CO 2 is supplied where it is needed, namely above the liquid level. So it does not first have to flow through the liquid, in particular the beer, when feeding from below and possibly cause foaming, but instead simply fills the upper area of the barrel interior, in which there is no longer any drink (beer).
- the integrated CO 2 container in the upper barrel body area when tapping, expediently being surrounded by an upper collar ring or a jacket and being protected from the environment.
- the fitting is advantageously arranged in the lower barrel body region when tapping, on the side opposite the reducing and / or check valve.
- the position of the fitting when tapping is unimportant as it is no longer required.
- it should be located on the lower side of the barrel body to simplify access to the barrel interior and to enable the use of a conventional keg cleaning and filling machine.
- the riser pipe runs laterally next to the fitting in the bottom area of the barrel body, the “bottom area” being related to the state when the tap is being drawn, that is to say the side with the fitting Fitting extending riser pipe may not be possible to use the barrel in the orientation to the tenon in which the fitting is at the top, since the riser pipe inside the barrel would run up to the top of the barrel and its end would soon be above the liquid level.
- Figure 1 shows an inventive home consumption keg in a sectional side view
- FIG. 2 shows the top view of the C0 2 container of the home consumption keg from FIG. 1.
- the home consumption keg 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a barrel body 2 made of two deep-drawn half-shells, which are welded together at a weld seam 3.
- the keg has a fitting 4 known per se with a connected filler pipe 18 in the upper region shown in FIG. 1, which, however, forms the bottom region of the keg when tapping. That is, FIG. 1 shows the state for transporting the keg, while for filling and tapping the keg 1 "has to be turned upside down" so that the fitting is then in the bottom area.
- a check valve 5 is provided, through which the gaseous CO 2 stored in a CO 2 container 6 can flow into the interior of the barrel after pressure reduction in a reducing valve.
- the top view of the CO 2 container 6 can be seen even better from FIG. 2: There, the fixed preset reducing valve 7 can also be seen at one end of the C-shaped bent CO 2 container and a connecting pipe on the other side of the CO 2 container 8, which connects the C0 2 container via a pressure measuring button 9 to a central unit 10 and finally to a high-pressure valve 1 1 for filling the CO 2 container.
- the reducing valve 7 is connected to the check valve 5 and thus to the interior of the barrel via a connecting pipe 12.
- the barrel body has an upper collar ring 13 and a lower collar ring 14, which give the keg a secure stand or make it stackable and also protect the CO 2 fitting and the fitting against external influences.
- the collar ring 14 shown at the bottom in FIG. 1 is the upper collar ring when pegging, while the collar ring 13, which is shown at the top in FIG. 1, represents the lower collar ring when pegging.
- the collar ring 14 thus surrounds the CO 2 container and protects it against external influences.
- a Bavarian tapping 15 is provided, which is integrated into the cylindrical peripheral wall of the barrel body and, starting from this, radially inwards extends.
- a riser pipe is provided which, starting from the radial extension, extends in the axial direction and extends to the bottom region of the barrel.
- the riser pipe 16 is arranged so spaced from the axial axis of the barrel that it leaves the area of the fitting 4 free, in order not to hinder the cleaning of the inside of the barrel through the opening 17 of the barrel, which is filled by the fitting.
- the free end of the riser pipe is located almost entirely at the bottom of the keg next to the fitting and the filling pipe 18 connected to it, and can take up the beer from there and thereby empty the keg completely.
- the riser pipe has an inner diameter of only approx. 2 mm in order to achieve the greatest possible flow resistance and thereby to produce a laminar flow of the beer, which leads to extremely low foaming even when using simple taps.
