Description

The utility model relates to devices for preparing and portioning drinking carbonated water saturated with carbon dioxide, and intended for use in catering establishments, in administrative and industrial premises, preferably in "hot shops" and other similar places.

A device for the preparation and dispensing of carbonated drinks, containing sequentially located storage tank for liquid, cooler, mixing chamber, device for dispensing syrup, interconnected through the liquid phase by a piping system with shut-off valves, a carbon dioxide source connected to the piping system of the gas phase, associated with a device for dispensing syrup, and means for dispensing carbonated drinks, in which the storage tank is installed above the cool elem, the mixing chamber is an ejector with the connected liquid piping and gas phases. (see RF patent No.2010543)

A disadvantage of the known device is the design complexity and the associated low reliability of the device.

The closest set of essential features to the claimed device is a device for simultaneously cooling and carbonating a liquid, containing a closed vessel with inlets for supplying liquid and an outlet for dispensing carbonated water, a pipeline for supplying carbon, which is equipped with a recirculation pipe for collecting insoluble in liquid carbon dioxide and its supply to the compressor and the refrigerator installed in series in it, with one end of the pipe the wire is connected to the vessel above the surface of the liquid, and the other under the surface of the liquid to supply carbon dioxide under its surface, (see RF patent No. 2051886)

A disadvantage of the known device is that when the carbon dioxide is compressed, its temperature rises significantly (up to about 250 ° C) and to cool it before feeding it into the carbonizer, a refrigerator of high power and, correspondingly, a large weight and dimensions is required.

The objective of this utility model is to create a small-sized device for the preparation of carbonated drinking water saturated with carbon dioxide.

The problem is solved by creating a device for the preparation of sparkling water, containing a carbonizer with an outlet for dispensing sparkling water, in communication with a water source and a carbon dioxide source, a refrigerator and a high pressure pump, in which, according to a utility model, the carbonizer and the evaporator of the refrigerator are placed in a container, filled with liquid.

Placing the carbonizer and the evaporator of the refrigerator in a container filled with liquid increases the efficiency and efficiency of cooling the drinking water supplied to the carbonizer under high pressure and, accordingly, reduces the capacity of the refrigerator, as well as its weight and dimensions. Considering that the dimensions and weight of the entire device mainly depend on the dimensions and weight of the refrigerator, reducing the dimensions and weight of the refrigerator provides the creation of a lightweight, small-sized device for the preparation of sparkling water.

It is advisable that the carbonizer was communicated with the water source through a coil placed in a container filled with liquid concentrically with the carbonizer.

The communication of the carbonizer with a water source through a coil placed in a container filled with liquid concentrically with the carbonizer further improves the efficiency and efficiency of cooling the water supplied to the carbonizer and, therefore, reduces the weight and dimensions of the device’s refrigerator as a whole.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings, where Fig. 1 shows a general view of the device, Fig. 2 is a top view, Fig. 3 is a section along B - B, and Fig. 4 is a view along arrow A.

The housing 1 of the device is made of removable metal panels painted with waterproof epoxy polyester enamel. A vertical partition 2 is installed inside the housing, dividing the internal space of the device into two parts. A thermally insulated container is installed in the front of the housing 1, for example, a bath 3 filled with a cooled liquid, preferably water, and closed with a lid. Inside the bath 3, the evaporator 4 of the refrigerator, the coil 5 for water, the carbonizer 6 and the agitator pump 7 are concentrically located. The compressor of the refrigerator 8, the condenser-fan unit 9, the high pressure pump 10, controller 11, thermostat 12 and the inlet manifold are installed at the rear of the device 13. Outside on the housing 1 there is a filter 14 for cleaning water directed to the carbonizer 6, an outlet pipe 15 for dispensing sparkling water with an electromagnetic valve 16 (under the protective cover), a pan 17 with a glass washer 18 (on the front panel). An overflow pipe is installed on the side surface of the housing 1 under the shield 19, the cover 20 of the housing 1 is equipped with a lock 21 to prevent unauthorized persons from opening the device.

The device operates as follows, through the input manifold 13, the device is connected to a carbon dioxide cylinder, water line and sewage system (or drain tank). Then the bath 1 is filled with water until its level is between the Min and Max marks on the overflow pipe located under the shield 19, then the water supply to the bath 1 is stopped and the device is connected to the power supply using the power cord 22, as a result of which the power supply through the thermostat 12 is supplied to a compression-type refrigerator, including a compressor 8 (on R-134A freon), a compressor-fan unit 9 and an evaporator 4. When the refrigerator is in operation, the water in the bath 3 is cooled by evaporation of the refrigerant circulating in the evaporator e 4, placed in the same bath 3, to improve heat transfer, the water in the bath 3 is constantly mixed with a stirrer pump 7. The process of cooling water in the bath 3 with freezing a certain amount of ice (at the maximum setting of thermostat 12) lasts 2-3 hours, after which thermostat 12 turns off the refrigerator. Then, the water coming from the water supply network is additionally purified in the filter 14 and, first, it is supplied to the coil 5 by the high pressure pump 10, and from the coil 5 to the carbonizer 6. The coil 5 and carbonizer 6 are placed in a bath 1 with chilled water. In the carbonizer 6, water is dispersed, saturated with gaseous carbon dioxide, which is supplied to the carbonizer 6 from the cylinder, and is also cooled. The water level in the carbonizer 6 is maintained automatically by means of a high pressure pump 10, the operation of which is controlled by the controller 11. Carbonated water is discharged from the carbonizer 6 through the outlet pipe 15 after pressing the button that opens the electromagnetic valve 16.

Compared with the known, the claimed device has less weight and dimensions due to higher efficiency and efficiency of cooling sparkling water.
