Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a cooling system for domestic and office use, in the context of dispensing of liquids.
  • Object of the present invention is solving the aforementioned problems of the prior art by providing a hermetic carbonator with triple coil, capable of gassing and cooling water quickly and efficiently.
  • Another object of the present invention is allowing the complete sanitization of the water tank, filling it completely with sanitizing agent.
  • the main advantage of the above invention is the possibility of obtaining cold and sparkling water faster than current systems and with less energy expenditure.
  • the sanitizing agent can be circulated throughout the system, obtaining a complete sanitizing action.
  • Another advantage is the ease of installation that results from the integration of the components inside the tank. By presenting only a smooth steel wall, positioning within a casing or furniture is simplified.
  • the hermetic closure of the tank prevents water contamination by external agents or its overturning in the environment surrounding the device.
  • the liquid cooling system 1 for domestic and office use of the invention comprises a tank 2 designed to contain:
  • the first coil 3 becomes double to ensure a greater flow of water, with an 8-mm diameter stainless steel pipe wound on three diameters and in contact, to deliver 2 liters of cold still water continuously at an average between + 8 °C and + 12 °C.
  • Reducing the diameter of the evaporator coil also allows having the right compromise between cooling capacity, cooling speed and low risk of excessive ice formation.
  • the first coil 3 is designed to make cold water flow and the second coil 5 is designed to contain refrigerant gas designed to cool water passing through the first coil 3 and/or water contained in the tank 2.
  • the tank 2 of the liquid cooling system 1 for domestic and office use is hermetically closed.
