  • the cooling source By means of the cooling source, the drink is cooled down.
  • a thermostat ensures a predetermined desired temperature.
  • the well-known beverage dispenser has the disadvantage that it builds for a very high and thus the installation options are limited. On the other hand, it requires a lot of energy to ensure a predetermined temperature. Furthermore, the problem is the surrounding around the beverage storage container forming moisture, which is an undesirable source of germs and bacteria. Furthermore, the structure, in particular of the beverage storage container, very expensive, since this consists of a variety of parts, which is necessary by the seals on the one hand and by the wet cooling principle on the other side.
  • the cold transfer means is designed for surface contact with a Fluidgefässaussenwand so as to cool the fluid through the vessel wall through.
  • the cold transfer medium is formed only near the area of the next volume of liquid to be dispensed to bear against an upside-down vessel.
