Abstract

A drinks dispenser suitable for holding a plurality of wine boxes, for example, is provided with a refrigeration unit (100) facilitating the cooling of wine dispensed from each of said plurality of wine boxes. The unit (100) comprises a generally upright cylindrical direct expansion tank (101) having a chamber (102) filled with refrigerant which exhausts as vapour through port (106) to be returned at the same pressure in liquid form through inlet port (115) of capillary tube (107). Temperature within chamber (102) is sensed by a thermostat sensor (not shown) inserted into the upper extend of blind bore tube (111). Liquid is chilled by passing through one of a plurality of cooling conduits (114, 115, 117) the interior bores of which are isolated from the refrigerant in chamber (102). Chilling liquid will inevitably lead to a rise in temperature of the refrigerant within chamber (102) and once a predetermined temperature is sensed a refrigeration pump associated with the direct expansion tank (100) will be actuated.
