  • the present invention has the object to provide a device for cooling drinks available, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned in the prior art.
  • the inventive device for cooling drinking water is based on the features of the preamble in that the flow direction of the cooling liquid of Flow direction of the drinking water is opposite.
  • the device according to the invention offers the possibility of drinking water cooling in a continuous process. That is, if necessary, the user can open a shutter of the drinking water pipe so that the water is cooled in real time by the cooling liquid flowing in the opposite direction.
  • each fresh water zapfbar which has the advantage that hygiene problems that might occur in a stockpiling of water, be avoided. This also facilitates cleaning. Also, the algae problem often occurring in reservoirs is avoided.
  • the applied counterflow principle achieves a high cooling capacity. Since meltwater is used as the coolant, very energy-efficient cooling is possible. In addition, a freeze of the system is not possible, whereby the otherwise required defrost heater and the cooling circuit control can be avoided. This considerably reduces the manufacturing costs.
  • the fact that the drinking water in the inner tube of the drinking water pipe is feasible, fewer couplings are required, which improves the hygienic quality of the water passage. Overall, the device has a very compact design, which reduces the manufacturing cost and space requirements.
  • the device for cooling drinking water to a control circuit which causes, when drinking water is removed, the pump is activated. If the pump is activated, the increased cooling capacity is enhanced by the increased heat exchange with the drinking water to be cooled.
  • the device has a central control, by means of which a desired temperature of the drinking water is programmable.
  • the device may have a control panel in a preferred embodiment.
  • This may have a display and / or a keypad in another preferred embodiment. This allows the operator to his desired
  • the central controller checks the temperature of the Drinking water at the desired temperature. If cooling is required, the pump is activated, which causes more cooling of the drinking water.
  • the ice maker is connected via an automatic control loop with the device, so that when a defined temperature of the cooling liquid is exceeded, automatically ice is added.
  • a latent heat store is used. As a result, the cooling capacity is significantly reduced while reducing energy consumption.
  • the latent heat of fusion of a latent heat storage is much greater than the specific heat capacity of the same amount of a substance without heat conversion.
  • water is used as phase transition material. This is of particular advantage because the specific phase transformation enthalpy of water is particularly high and the processing is straightforward.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif (1) de refroidissement d'eau potable, comprenant au moins une arrivée d'eau (2) et une évacuation d'eau (3), un réservoir (4) pour liquides, une conduite d'eau potable (5), par laquelle l'eau à refroidir peut être conduite, ainsi qu'une conduite de fluide réfrigérant (6), par laquelle un fluide réfrigérant (7) peut être conduit, l'eau potable pouvant être refroidie par le fluide réfrigérant (7) s'écoulant dans la conduite de fluide réfrigérant (6) et le réservoir (4) présentant une pompe (8), au moyen de laquelle le fluide réfrigérant (7) peut être déplacé dans la conduite de fluide réfrigérant (6). L'invention se caractérise en ce que le sens d'écoulement du fluide réfrigérant (7) est opposé au sens d'écoulement de l'eau potable. La présente invention permet un refroidissement d'eau potable rapide et efficace et offre des possibilités améliorées en termes d'hygiène et de maniabilité.
