Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages, in particular water, of the type comprising the features set out in the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a saturator for beverage gassing, in particular for water, of the type comprising the features set out in the preamble of claim 12.
- the present invention aims at producing and/or providing apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages, in particular water, for installation in refreshment premises of public and/or private facilities.
- these apparatus are usually arranged so that they are able to draw from a common water distribution system, the necessary water amount for dispensing room-temperature water, cooled water and/or gassed water.
- such a type of apparatus is hydraulically connected to the water distribution system by one or more fitting devices.
- fitting devices Usually associated with the fitting devices is filtering means for retention of undesired substances present in the water running therethrough.
- the apparatus also contemplates the presence of a saturator for water gassing which is hydraulically connected to the filtering means through a feeding circuit, and a cooling system operatively associated with the saturator to cool the water being gassed.
- the feeding circuit ensures the hydraulic connection between the saturator and a common dispenser through which the treated water can be drawn off.
- the water from the filtering means is first submitted to cooling to be then gassed. Cooling is carried out by a refrigerator of the coil type, active on a water-storing tank hydraulically interposed between the filtering means and the saturator.
- the refrigerator has the additional task of cooling the water contained in the saturator and keep it to a low temperature, said saturator being usually incorporated, to this aim, into the storage tank.
- the saturator comprises a hermetically sealed collecting container plunged into the water contained in the refrigerator tank and arranged to partly house gassed water and partly carbon dioxide under pressure .
- Water gassing takes place within the collecting container and is carried out by admission of a vertical jet of atomized water from the refrigerator tank.
- the admitted water jet penetrates into the water mass present within the collecting container carrying along the overlying carbon dioxide.
- this operation generates many water turbulences promoting further dissolution of the carbon dioxide.
- US Patent 3 259 273 an apparatus for treatment and distribution of gassed water is disclosed.
- the coil of a refrigerator is provided to be directly immersed in the gassed water present in a collecting container of a saturator in such a manner that the latter is cooled from the inside.
- the feeding water of the saturator is led thereinto by a heat exchanger of the coil type wound around the collecting container of the saturator, so that the water running therethrough undergoes a pre-cooling by heat exchange with the water present in the saturator.
- the Applicant has found that the present apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages are susceptible of improvements under different points of view, above all in connection with the quality of the water supplied by them, as well as in terms of compactness and manufacturing and marketing costs of the apparatus themselves .
- ungassed water can stay in the storage tank for a long period of time thereby facilitating bacterial proliferation that will impair quality.
- the saturators present in known apparatus are not able to meet high demands for gassed water because the collecting containers of these saturators have reduced volumes. This limitation is due to different factors. Firstly, the saturator housed in the storage tank must have reduced sizes so that sufficient room is left to the water to be cooled in the refrigerator. In addition, the gassing operation is made easier if carried out on reduced water amounts.
- the present invention aims at solving the problems found in the known art by proposing an apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages, in particular water, which is compact, ensures an excellent quality of the dispensed water and has reduced manufacturing and marketing costs.
- the aims of the invention are also achieved by a saturator for beverage gassing, in particular for water, having the features set out in the characterizing portion of claim 12.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of an apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages, in particular water, in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective representation of a saturator for beverage gassing, in particular for water, which is diametrically sectioned and is part of the apparatus shown in Fig. 1;
- - Fig. 3 is a plan representation of the saturator referred to in the preceding figures, sectioned along line III-III in Fig. 2.
- an apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages, in particular water, in accordance with the present invention has been generally identified by reference numeral 1.
- apparatus 1 comprises a dispenser 2 hydraulically connected, by a feeding circuit 3 and one or more fitting devices 4, to means 5 designed to feed at least one beverage.
- the beverage is water and the feeding means 5 consists of a water distribution system.
- Apparatus 1, upstream of dispenser 2 further comprises a saturator 6 hydraulically associated with the feeding circuit 3 and a refrigerator 7.
- Saturator 6 is arranged to gas the water from the water distribution system 5, while refrigerator 7 carries out cooling of same.
- Apparatus 1 is also preferably provided with filtering means 8 operatively associated with the feeding circuit 3 immediately downstream of the fitting devices 4, in such a manner that the water from the water distribution system 5 is purified before reaching any component of the apparatus itself.
- filtering means 8 may consist for example of one or more filters of a composite structure utilizing the properties of active carbons of vegetable origin and is therefore particularly adapted to reduce chlorine, possible suspended substances, disagreeable smells and tastes.
- the purified water from the filtering means 8 is then conveyed to saturator 6 by means of a main duct 9 of the feeding circuit 3 extending between the fitting devices 4 and dispenser 2.
- saturator 6 comprises a container 10 for collection of gassed water which has a cylindrical conformation of a substantially circular section.
- Saturator 6 further comprises first admission means 11 operatively associated with container 10 for introduction thereinto of a gas of a predetermined pressure value.
- admitted to container 10 is carbon dioxide from a bottle or other appropriate feeding means operatively associated with apparatus 1.
- the first admission means is further provided with a valve device
- the pressure detector 11a possibly of the adjustable type, arranged to cause admission of carbon dioxide to container 10 when pressure within said container lowers under a predetermined minimum value.
- the pressure detector 11a consists of a one-way flow valve which at all events can be replaced with a pressure sensor or any other device for pressure detection.
- second admission means 12 operating on the main duct 9 for introduction thereinto of water from the filtering means 8.
- the second admission means 12 operates through an upper wall 10a of container 10, at an off-centre position with respect to a longitudinal axis "X" of the container itself.
- the second admission means 12 comprises at least one delivery nozzle arranged to form two jets 12a, 12b of preferably atomized water.
- a first jet 12a is oriented in an inclined direction with respect to a vertical reference direction and obliquely intercepts the surface of the underlying water mass.
- a second jet 12b is on the contrary arranged to inject a second substantially vertical water jet into container 10, which jet perpendicularly intercepts the surface of the underlying water.
- Water jets 12a, 12b pass through the water mass present in container 10 carrying along the overlying carbon dioxide and generating a series of turbulences causing dissolution of said carbon dioxide in water.
- the combined action of the first and second jets 12a, 12b greatly promotes gassing of the water present in container 10.
- the first jet 12a directed obliquely of the surface of the water mass causes a rotatory motion of the water around the container axis
- the second jet 12b carries out a deep stirring-up action of the water mass itself. This combined effect advantageously enables all parts of the water mass to be submitted to the gassing action of jets 12a, 12b.
- At least one waterline sensor 13 is operatively associated with the container 10 of saturator 6, and operatively connected with the second admission means 12 to selectively operate starting and shutting off of same when the waterline of the gassed water is below or above a preset value, respectively.
- Water introduction through nozzle 11 can be made easier by the action of a hydraulic pump 14 operating on a second length 9b of the main duct 9 upstream of saturator
- means 15 for exit of the gassed water consisting of a dip tube 15a for example that draws the water to be dispensed from the bottom of container 10.
- refrigerator 7 comprises a coil 7a passed through by a cooling fluid from a refrigerating system known by itself and therefore not shown in the drawings.
- Coil 7a extends externally of and around the container 10 of saturator 6, following a helical course, and preferably adheres to a side wall 10b of the saturator itself. Consequently, coil 7a cools container 10 that in turn cools the gassed water contained therein.
- a heat exchanger 16 hydraulically connected to the main duct 9 and immersed in the gassed water contained in saturator 6.
- the heat exchanger 16 comprises at least one coil 17 having a substantially helical extension.
- coil 17 has an inlet portion 18 to receive the water at room temperature from the filtering means 8, through a first length 9a of the main duct 9.
- the inlet portion 18 is followed by a central portion 19 at which the circulating water is submitted to cooling by heat exchange with the gassed water present in saturator 6.
- the central portion 19 is connected to an outlet portion 20 from which the cooled water comes out flowing into the second length 9b of the main duct 9.
- the central portion 19 of coil 17 preferably has a plurality of turns 19a that, seen in plan view, have a polygonal shape.
- Each polygonal turn 19a lies in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the other polygonal turns 19a and, with respect to the turns adjacent thereto, has an angularly offset orientation around a common winding axis.
- the feeding circuit 3 finally contemplates the presence of two offtake ducts 21, 22 hydraulically connected to the main duct 9 to bring ungassed water at room temperature and cooled ungassed water respectively to dispenser 2.
- the cooled ungassed water from saturator 6 reaches dispenser 2 through a third length 9c of the main duct 9.
- a solenoid valve 24, 25, 26 or other similar drive device to draw off the corresponding water for use or drinking.
- the offtake duct 21 for the ungassed water at room temperature is connected to the first length 9a of the main duct 9 extending between the filtering means 8 and the heat exchanger 16, so that at least part of the water coming from the water distribution system 5 and previously filtered runs through said offtake duct 21.
- the offtake duct 22 for cooled ungassed water is connected to the second length 9b of the main duct 9, preferably upstream of pump 14, to draw off the cooled water from the heat exchanger 16.
- the third length 9c of the main duct 9 is directly connected to the exit means 15 of saturator 6. Consequently, when the solenoid valve 26 is operated, the gassed water comes out through the dip tube 15 by effect of the inner pressure of container 10, and reaches the dispenser 2 through the third length 9c.
- the apparatus for treatment and distribution of beverages being the object of the present invention enables quality preservation of the water to be dispensed.
- the ungassed water is no longer subjected to long residence periods, as it happened in the known art, in huge storage tanks, with consequent risks of bacterial proliferation.
- the water reaches the dispenser 2 or saturator 6 directly from the water distribution system, after instantaneous cooling through the heat exchanger 16 plunged in the gassed water.
- the sizes of apparatus 1 have been greatly reduced and at the same time the container 10 for collection of the gassed water of saturator 6 has been greatly enlarged, thereby enabling the high demand for gassed water to be met.
- the increase in size of container 10 has consequently also brought to an increase in the contact surface between the gassed water mass contained therein and the overlying carbon dioxide, thereby further promoting dissolution of carbon dioxide.
- This feature also enables the gassing device to be operated to a reduced operating pressure as compared with the known art.
- Use of a less powerful hydraulic pump 14 than required in the known art is therefore possible, and the pump itself may be even eliminated by utilizing the water-supply pressure from the water distribution system alone.
- the overall dimensions of apparatus 1 can be further reduced, which will bring about reductions in the manufacturing and operating costs.
- the particular structure of the coil 17 of the heat exchanger 16 greatly promotes heat exchange between the cooled gassed water and the ungassed water at room temperature.
- arrangement of polygonal turns 17a angularly offset with respect to each other, as above specified enables the coil length to be increased, bulkiness being the same, and consequently the heat exchange surface to be increased as well, while the contact regions due to overlapping of contiguous turns are reduced to a minimum.
- Another advantage resulting from this configuration is due to the fact that, in spite of the presence of coil 17, the water being gassed is free to circulate within container 10.
- offsetting between one turn 17a and another defines a series of passage loops that can be passed through by the water following a labyrinth path.
