Definitions
- This invention relates to the beverage industry, and has as its primary object the provision of means whereby carbonated water may be dispensed while retaining a very large percentage of the carbonation it originally held within the carbonator itself.
- Case Serial No. 513,577 disclosed a capillary nozzle of the so-called grooved type, which type was an improvement over the first, in that it was found possible, by using grooved type passages, to increase the size of the passages from approximately .002 inch to .01 inch, which increase in size was found to be extremely beneficial from a practical operating standpoint, although it was also thought that an even further enlargement of said passages would be most desirable.
- the present application discloses means for accomplishing this.
- An object of my invention is to provide a capillary nozzle which will dispense carbonated water with a minimum loss of carbonation between carbonator and the discharge end of the nozzle.
- Another object is to provide such a nozzle which will dispense carbonated water with a minimum of foaming.
- Another object is to provide cheapness of construction in such a nozzle.
- a still further object is to provide economy of operation and a minimum of working parts in a capillary nozzle.
- Another object is to provide a capillary nozzle which will not become stopped up because of the presence of foreign matter in water.
- Another object is to provide a nozzle of the instant type, which may be readily cleaned.
- Fig. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a nozzle embodying my invention, associated with a source of carbonated water supply;
- Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, in which the water is flowing through the nozzle;
- Fig. 3 is an enlarged view, principally in vertical cross-section, showing in detail the helical threads of the nozzle structure per se.
- the underlying principle of the capillary nozzle is that the passages are of such design as to use up in friction, substantially all of the pressure energy of the fluid flowing through the nozzle, and to do this while maintaining streamline flow in the fluid.
- the rate at which the pressure energy of the liquid is used up varies directly as the length of the capillary passage, and inversely as the fourth power of the diameter of the capillary passage. From this, it is apparent that it is mathematically possible, without changing the loss of pressure energy of the liquid, to increase the diameter of the passage, if a compensating increase in the length of the passage is made.
- I0 is a carbonator filled with carbonated water under pressure
- H is a threaded boss at the bottom of said carbonator, said boss having in it a liquid pasage I 2, and a valve seat l3.
- I4 is an outer sleeve
- I5 isthe capillary plug upon the surface of which are formed a plurality of V-shaped helical capillary passages 16.
- Capillary plug 15 is preferably a shrink fit within the outer sleeve l4, and may be permanently retained in the position shown after the shrink assembly.
- I! is a valve on the end of a valve rod 18, said valve and valve rod being forced upwardly against the valve seat [3 by means of avalve spring I9.
- valve rod l8 is a nozzle piece which may be screwed onto the lower end of the valve rod l8.
- valve seat I3 is thus uncovered, which results in carbonated water escaping from carbonator l0, through liquid passage I2 into chamber 2
- the water passes through V- shaped helical capillary passages l6, and as a result of the fluid friction in these passages, and the change of angular velocity necessitated by the helical shape of the structure, the pressure energy of the liquid is substantially used up, and the carbonated water exits from the lower end of the helical capillary passages at approximately atmospheric pressure, and at relatively low velocity.
- the carbonated water retains a very large percentage of the carbonation it originally held when within the carbonator itself.
- the water passes through the nozzle piece 20, and thence into a. glass or other designated receptacle below.
- the arrangement of the capillary passages in the form of a helix has a distinct and new advantage over that described in my original disclosures as referred to heretofore.
- the prime object of the multiple-thread capillary is to use up the potential energy of the liquid in friction and to avoid as much as possible the conversion of this potential energy into velocity energy.
- the capillary element may consist of three parallel threads having 60 enclosed angle with an altitude of .042 inch and a width at the widest point of the V of .065 inch. The threads are on the outside of a cylinder of approximately 1 inches 0. D.; and the entire capillary element has an actual length in this instance of inch.
- Fig. 3 The enlarged structure shown in Fig. 3, omits the valve illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, in order that the basic nozzle structure may be more clearly evident.
- Control means in the liquid passage l2, or elsewhere, may be employed to govern the flow of fluid to the nozzle, this arrangement being preferable in certain applications.
- Carbonated water dispensing apparatus comprising in combination, a tank for the storage of a body of carbonated water under pressure, a conduit through which carbonated water may flow from the tank, a valve for controlling the flow of carbonated water through said conduit, and means, positioned posterior to said valve, defining a channel to receive carbonated water issuing from said conduit under tank pressure when the valve is open and to conduct the same to a discharge port open to the atmosphere and from which port the carbonated water may pass directly into a receiving vessel, said channel being substantially uniform in cross section throughout and of such length and cross sectional area 76 that turbulence is substantially prevented, loss of carbonation minimized and the pressure energy of the carbonated water substantially exhausted in overcoming frictional resistance to flow before it reaches said discharge port, so that the carbonated water is delivered at low velocity and without substantial foaming.
- Carbonated water dispensing apparatus comprising in combination, a tank for the storage of a body of carbonated water under pressure, a conduit through which carbonated water may flow from the tank, a valve for controlling the flow of carbonated water through said conduit, and means, positioned posterior to said valve, defining a plurality of channels adapted to receive carbonated water issuing from said conduit under tank pressure when the valve is open and to conduct the same to discharge ports open to the atmosphere and from which ports the carbonated water may pass directly into a receiving vessel, each of said channels being substantially uniform in cross section throughout and of such length and cross sectional area that turbulence is substantially prevented, loss of carbonation minimized and the pressure energy of the carbonated water substantially exhausted in overcoming frictional resistance to flow before it reaches said discharge port, so that carbonated water flowing through said conduit and channels is ultimately delivered from said ports in streams which issue at low velocity and without substantial foaming.
