Definitions
- the invention relates to an impregnator for displacing a non- or low-gas liquid with gas according to the preamble of claim 1 and according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention further relates to a Druckkompensator- arrangement for dispensing equipment according to the preamble of claim 21, an impregnator for inline fumigation dispensing systems with such a pressure compensator arrangement according to the preamble of claim 35, as well as a dispensing system with a pressure compensator arrangement according to the preamble of claim 37.
- the invention also relates to new uses of a corresponding impregnator.
- Impregnation in the sense of the invention is the dissolution of gases in liquids, i. the impregnation of liquids with gases.
- Such impregnators are used to impregnate liquids in beverage dispensers or beverage precursors with gases or to dissolve gases in the liquids and thus produce ready to drink drinks only in the dispensing system.
- liquids to be impregnated are lemonades, (-sirupe) and, in particular, a low-carbon or low-acid beer precursor.
- suitable impregnating gases are, in particular, carbonic acid (to be more precise: CO 2 ) and nitrogen (more precisely N 2 ), for example to produce a bubbly lemonade and in particular a carbonated beer.
- carbonic acid or “carbonated” is admittedly lent in beverages, more precisely, however, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is added, which binds for the most part only physically in the liquid and no chemical reaction to carbonic acid (H 2 COs) received.
- CO 2 carbon dioxide
- the velocity (Mi) at which a state of equilibrium is established in a liquid depends on the concentration gradient, the diffusion coefficient for gas, the absorption coefficient, the surface, the length of the transport path, the prevailing pressure and the temperature.
- Efficient mass transfer systems must therefore have a large surface area at which the mass transfer can take place, provide great turbulence for the shortest possible transport routes, and provide high pressure and low temperatures in order to achieve the most efficient and rapid mass transfer possible.
- bubble-forming systems such as stirring systems, loop reactors or injection systems
- high equipment costs pressure vessel, pressure pump, cooling system
- high operating costs have in the tap beverage beverage enforced with carbonic carbonators or impregnators of the type described.
- impregnators are often used in inline fumigation dispensers in which the beverage precursor is conventionally sucked out of a bag with piston pumps from a tank and more recently also with diaphragm pumps, so that the impregnator is exposed on the input side to the pressure surges of the piston pump and no constant fluid pressure can be achieved.
- the volume flow which enters the mixing cell per unit time, depends essentially on the dispensing speed with which the tap taps the drink. As the dispensing speed changes, the pressure drop from the gas supply side to the mixing cell is also changed, so that the opening degree of the gas supply and the liquid supply fluctuate although the external pressure is set to a fixed value. As a result, the volume flows entering the mixing cell also change, so that the gas-liquid mixing ratio can deviate from the optimum for dissolving the gas in the liquid at the respective pressure in the mixing cell.
- a beverage is conveyed from a beverage container via a beverage supply line to a usually higher-lying dispensing tap.
- the beverage supply line consists of a dispensing line
- in dispensing systems with inline fumigation or on-side Druckbegasungsbran can also be arranged in the beverage supply line one or more impregnators, with a beverage precursor is enriched example with carbon dioxide.
- mixing valves for syrup with an inline-fumigated water can also be in the beverage supply line and a buffer container in which the water is gassed under a carbon dioxide atmosphere.
- a certain delivery pressure is required.
- this is provided, for example, via a pressurized gas (eg carbon dioxide), the pressure of which is applied to a beverage keg or a beverage container, so that the beverage is pushed up via the decanting line to the tap.
- a pressurized gas eg carbon dioxide
- Impregnator is provided to a low-carbon or -lose beverage pre-product in the dispensing system with carbonic acid or the like.
- a pump is arranged downstream of the beverage container with which the beverage preparation pumped from the beverage container to the impregnator and carbonated there, ie with carbon dioxide (more precisely, carbon dioxide) is added, and then transported as a drink with dissolved carbon dioxide to the tap.
- carbon dioxide more precisely, carbon dioxide
- a displaceable throttle body is arranged in the feed line of the tap, the position of the tap can adjust via an adjusting screw so that the throttle body releases an annular gap of a desired thickness and thus change the resistance and can be adapted to the desired conditions.
- the taper adjusts the tap to a desired flow rate, for example, according to whether it has large vessels such as e.g. 11-Mußugs or small vessels, such as 0.251 Cola glasses want to fill and after the liquid to be tapped, for example, light beer in contrast to wheat beer.
- Such an impregnator is proposed for example in DE 198 51 360 A1. It is a Rohrsiebkarbonator, in which a plurality of mixing screens are lined up in a mixing cell designed as a tube to the gas and liquid supply can be connected. The mixing screens in their entirety provide the desired large surface area at which the mass transfer can take place upon dissolution of the carbonic acid in the beverage precursor.
- a Rohrsiebkarbonator can also be found in the patent application DE 100 55 137 A1.
- US Pat. No. 3,761,066 also shows such a tubular sieve carbonator in which the supplied gas and water have to pass through a plurality of wire mesh mixing valves: gas is supplied from the side, water from above. The gas passes through a filter and a subsequent nozzle or baffle plate in a Vorverwirbe- lungsk, in which the liquid enters, namely through openings in the circumference of a cylindrical perforated plate. The resulting flow enters through apertures in a conical perforated plate in the actual impregnation. There are arranged cylindrical wire mesh rings, wherein between the individual wire mesh rings each plates are arranged so that the flow drives a slalom through the wire mesh and thereby impregnated.
- the annular wire mesh elements can also be formed from any material suitable for use in the carbonator shown with (liquid) permeable properties.
- Rohrsiebkarbonatoren are not only relatively expensive in terms of material costs, but also in terms of the corresponding complex assembly due to the high number of metal screens.
- a further object of the present invention is to further develop a smooth impregnator such that a good mixing result is achieved with high reliability.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a pressure compensator arrangement for a dispensing system with such a pressure compensator arrangement or an impregnator with such a pressure compensator arrangement, with which the dispensing pressure almost independent of the need or from the dispensing amount or the dispensing mass flow almost is constant and pressure fluctuations are at least muted.
- the pressure in the beverage supply line or, if provided, the outlet pressure of the impregnator is to be reduced to the usual tapping pressure in conventional dispensers, in particular beer dispensers, for example max. 3 bar, in particular max. 2.5 bar.
- an impregnating body is arranged in a mixing cell of the impregnator, into which a gas inlet and a liquid inlet discharges and out of which leads an outlet for the liquid-gas mixture, such that the passage of the liquid and the liquid Gas must pass through the mixing cell forcibly through the impregnating through, wherein the impregnating body consists of a porous material, that is a porous solid.
- the porous or Pore-containing solids may be made of any pore-containing material having a large surface area, for example sintered materials, woven, knitted, woven or felt solids, or sponges or foamed materials or the like.
- hollow fiber module of hollow plastic fibers which can be made in size of a hair, would be conceivable.
- These materials are cheap and in particular the sintered solids with great uniformity of the pore size and arrangement produced so that not only economic aspects advantages are achieved, but also with regard to the quality of the impregnation or carbonization of the gas to be impregnated, in particular carbonizing liquid.
- the material used for the impregnating body are all of the above-mentioned materials.
- the or one of the impregnating body is made of a sponge, of foamed material or foam or of a body consisting of hollow fibers, have many advantages, since these materials have a high porosity at each Having material adjustable, relatively large number of pores and average pore size and thus have large phase boundaries with low flow resistance and sufficient resistance to material rinsing.
- the foam is particularly advantageous for the foam to have the cell structure of a reticulated filter foam which is almost 100% open-celled. Due to the reticulation, the cell membranes are almost completely removed, leaving only one framework. This ensures a very low flow resistance. The phase boundary surfaces are thus no longer located at pores completely enclosed by material walls, but at cells which are merely enclosed by a material framework and otherwise open-walled.
- the foam is advantageously compressed in the carbonator, in particular from originally 150 mm to 8o mm in length.
- the foam impregnation body is compacted and the number of cells increases to about 170,000 cells / cm 3 .
- the impregnation body is advantageously designed as a disk filling the diameter of the mixing tube, so that the liquid, but also the gas, must forcibly flow through the impregnation body and dissolve on the large surface at the pores of the solid. It is advantageous that this solid can be easily introduced into the mixing cell, but also can be easily removed from it again, so that on the one hand cost-effective production and on the other hand maintenance of the impregnator at the predetermined by the hygiene rules intervals is easily possible. A flushing of bulk material is thus effectively avoided without the high cost and the constructive and assembly-related effort as in a Rohrsiebkarbonator incurred.

- appropriate fixing means may be provided, such as a perforated plate or a grid which holds the impregnating body in position and with which the impregnating body is optionally compressed.
- a further advantageous development relates to a high-frequency or ultrasonic vibration device which acts on the interior of the mixing cell and thus serves as additional impregnation device or as impregnation support device.
- the vibration device could, for example, be attached to the wall of the mixing cell, have ultrasound generators distributed over the entire circumference of the mixing cell and / or an ultrasound unit arranged in the mixing cell. Due to the vibrations generated by high-frequency vibration and the cavitation caused, high turbulences and thus short transport paths during mass transfer are achieved in the mixing cell. It is particularly advantageous that the ultrasound application takes place under the pressure prevailing in the mixing cell of the carbonator or impregnator (eg 3 to 5 bar) and in the medium flowing through.
- the invention is not limited to an impregnator with a impregnating body. Rather, several impregnating bodies can be arranged in series in the mixing cell. In this case, each or some of the impregnating body may consist of different materials, so that the mixing properties of the impregnator can be better matched to the particular liquid, gas or desired starting composition.

It would also be conceivable, for this purpose, to connect a plurality of impregnators in series such that the passage of a preceding impregnator with the liquid feed of a subsequent impregnator is connected so as to provide a impregnation plant for mixing a liquid with a plurality of gases. Such impregnators with a plurality of gas connections can advantageously be used to displace a non-or only weakly CO 2 -containing beer precursor with CO 2 and nitrogen. Nitrogen is added to beers - at least in non-polluting countries - for better foam stability, whereas CO 2 has to be added to beer precursors that are not or only weakly CCK-containing.

- the coupling according to the invention of the opening degree of the gas inlet with the degree of opening of the liquid inlet it is thus possible to set a mixing ratio suitable for the impregnation process in the mixing cell interior for different dispensing speeds.
- the coupling can be linear or degressive or progressive with the pressure rising. If the liquid inlet opens wide, the gas inlet also opens correspondingly wide so that, for example, the carbon dioxide required for impregnating a non-carbonated beer precursor flows.
- the opening degree of the gas inlet also decreases correspondingly, so that, in turn, a mixing ratio of gas and liquid suitable for the impregnation operation in the mixing cell is established.
- the liquid inlet closing element reduces the opening degree of the liquid inlet, and thus the gas inlet closing element coupled thereto, corresponding to the opening degree of the gas inlet.
- the gas inlet closing element reduces the degree of opening either in the same ratio, or according to the appropriate impregnation process (mixing ratio variation over the pressure), as predetermined by the liquid inlet closing element.
- the liquid inlet valve will release the liquid inlet to a certain degree, depending on the existing at any time pressure drop from the liquid inlet to the mixing cell the coupling of the gas inlet valve and the gas inlet is opened accordingly wide.
- the liquid inlet closing element is biased towards the liquid inlet side and integrally connected to the gas inlet closing element, so that a displacement of the liquid inlet closing element is transmitted to the gas inlet closing element.
- the unit thus formed may be formed in the manner of a piston valve, when the mixing cell head or the head piece of the impregnator is constructed like a T-piece, i. when liquid inlet and gas inlet are aligned. It is thus possible in a structurally simple manner to establish the inflowing liquid mass flow as well as the incoming gas mass flow as a function of the pressure gradient from the liquid inlet side to the mixing cell.
- an electrical coupling of the closing elements could be provided.
- a piston slide unit consisting of the gas inlet closing element and the liquid inlet closing element in the manner of a directional control valve could also be used in a mixing head in which two parallel inlet channels in lead the mixing cell interior.
- a closed position could be provided, in which the spool seals both the gas inlet channel, and the liquid inlet channel, and an open position in which the spool is pushed with one or more openings penetrating it both in front of the liquid and gas inlet opening, so that the respective inlet is released.
- a T-piece type mixing head with aligned liquid inlet channel and gas inlet channel is preferred, in which the piston slide formed by liquid inlet closing element and gas closing element sits directly in the liquid inlet channel and the gas inlet channel and by displacement in the direction of the gas inlet both the gas inlet and the liquid inlet desired degree releases.
- a displacement towards the liquid inlet closes both the gas inlet and the liquid inlet.
- this response to the pressure drop from the liquid inlet to the mixing cell could be accomplished by the gas inlet closing element being a gas flared conically expanding piston located in a likewise tapered gas inlet channel section and a piston slide section having the liquid inlet closing element connected is.
- the diesstechniksseinlasssch enjoyedelement may be a tapered to the liquid supply side slide, which is located in a tapered also to the liquid supply side fluid supply and is biased on its side facing away from the liquid supply side to the liquid supply.
- the liquid passage from the liquid supply side into the mixing cell is made through the liquid inlet closing member and the gas supply through the gas inlet closing member.
- the liquid-closing element can be a hollow body enclosed on several sides, which is open towards the liquid supply side, wherein at least one liquid passage opening for the liquid is provided in the walls enclosing the hollow body on several sides. In the closed position, in which the liquid inlet closing element the liquid inlet Thus, no fluid passage takes place.
- the liquid inlet closing element is brought into an open position in which it protrudes into a mixed-cell-side volume, the liquid passage is at least partially released and the beverage precursor which has flowed from the liquid feed side into the hollow body can flow into the mixing cell.
- the gas inlet closing element may also be provided in this case as a conical sliding element in a conical gas inlet channel.

- a sealing element is advantageously provided between the gas inlet closing element and the gas inlet blocking section.
- the liquid passages are bores distributed over the wall of the liquid inlet closing element, ie are relatively small in relation to the diameter of the liquid inlet blocking section, but are present in high numbers.
- the diameter ratio closing element is about 1: 10, preferably about 1: 20. In this way, it is possible to accurately meter the number of available for the gas or liquid passage through holes depending on the position of the valve spool.
- liquid and / or gas passage bores are provided as a chain of bores arranged spirally around the side wall of the respective closing element. Because in this case, the number of holes available for the passage of liquid or gas does not rise abruptly on, or decreases abruptly, but increases or decreases when moving the spool gradually around one hole, so that the desired gas or liquid mass flow can be adjusted more accurately depending on the pressure gradient from the liquid inlet side to the mixing cell out.
- a pressure compensator arrangement for installation in a dispensing system, with a throttle body movably arranged in a line piece, on the surface of which a beverage can flow past during the dispensing operation and which releases a cross-section of the line piece for the beverage to be dispensed during the dispensing operation ,
- the throttle body according to the invention is biased by a biasing device against the beverage flow.
- the biasing force may only be so high that the cross section is not released only below a predetermined pressure difference on the inlet side of the pressure compensator assembly and the outlet side of the pressure compensator assembly.
- the cross-section should be successively released.
- the size of the released cross section then depends on the pressure on the downstream side of the throttle body.
- an impregnator whose beverage outlet is formed by such a pressure compensator arrangement is also proposed.
- a dispensing system with such, built into the beverage supply line pressure compensator arrangement is proposed.
- the throttle body Since the inlet side working pressure in the bleed line is higher than the outlet side bleed pressure, the throttle body thus releases a cross section of the line piece so that the beverage flows past the throttle body when the biasing means has a suitably selected biasing force (biasing force ⁇ working pressure - pressure at the outlet of the pressure - chamber arrangement).
- the pressure on the back of the throttle body is equalized to the working pressure on the inlet side of the throttle body, as long as the cross section of the throttle body is released. Since the biasing means acts against the beverage flow direction, the throttle body is more and more pressed into a line piece closing position until it completely closes the beverage supply line or the line piece inserted into the beverage supply line.
- the throttle body will release a smaller cross section than when the taper requests more flow and the pressure in the outlet side region is therefore relatively low.
- the pressure compensator assembly of the present invention thus acts as a valve adjusting itself to the desired pressure loss per mass flow unit in response to the tap dispensed by the tapper.
- the use of a controlled proportional valve would be conceivable.
- test results also correspond to a theoretical consideration. According to Hagen-Poisseulle, the mean velocity in a stationary flow-through pipe with a circular cross-section applies
- v m is the mean velocity in the pipe
- V is the volume flow
- A is the cross-section ⁇ p v
- the pressure loss over the length I is the diameter of the pipe, and ⁇ the dynamic toughness.
- the spring can be selected such that the biasing force is constant at least approximately over the entire range of movement of the throttle body.
- the spring can be selected such that the biasing force is constant at least approximately over the entire range of movement of the throttle body.
- springs with degressive course of the spring size but also springs with progressive course or with a spring constant into consideration, for example, to be able to dampen pressure fluctuations.
- the spring force is adjustable. This can be achieved either by an adjusting device, ie For example, an adjusting screw is provided, or in that constructive measures are taken so that the spring is replaceable and thus different acting springs can be used.
- a bypass line could also be provided from the inlet side to the rear side of the throttle body, so that the desired preload force results, for example, via a pressure divider or pressure reducer connected upstream of the bypass line.
- the throttle body releases a longitudinally extending annular gap.
- an elongated throttle body may be provided, which thickened in a truncated cone with a corresponding expansion of the pipe section in which it is arranged.
- the throttle body is further rounded on the inlet side.
- the line piece may comprise a sleeve which can be inserted, pushed or pressed at a suitable point of the beverage supply line.
- the inlet-side section in which the line section of the pressure compensator arrangement widens, lies in the region of the sleeve.
- the biasing means thus pushes the throttle body into the sleeve.
- On the opposite side of the spring of the biasing device can then be provided on the outlet side of the sleeve subsequent tubular body having a stop for the spring.
- the line piece may also comprise a threaded plug which can be screwed into the beverage supply line at the desired point or a throttle body receptacle provided in an end plug which terminates a mixing cell of an impregnator on the outlet side.
- the spring can be supported on a wall of the line piece or pipe body opposite the throttle body when the flow channel branches off.
- the spring is designed as an annular spring, so that the stop can be designed as an annular shoulder around the flow channel around and the flow can pass through the spring without pressure losses due to a pipe bend occur and without the direction of the tap line must be changed ,
- This is advantageous not only in generally arranged in the vertical direction bar lines, but especially when the pressure compensator adjoins an impregnator, since this is preferably installed with vertically upwardly directed flow direction, because in this way CO 2 bubbles rise in the impregnator and in one Settling chamber or zone can be intercepted without ascending in the upper areas of the tap line.
- the pressure compensator arrangement according to the invention can be particularly easily attached to an impregnator whose mixing cell terminates on the outlet side Wall is designed as a female thread flange.

- the mixing cell 1 disk-shaped impregnating bodies 11, 13, 15 are pressed in series one after the other so that the liquid flowing through the mixing cell 1 and the gas flowing through the mixing cell 1 or the already premixed gas-liquid mixture must pass through the impregnating bodies 11, 13, 15 and so on the surface of the indicated with points pores can go into solution.
- the first impregnation body 11 seen from the feed side is made of a finer-pored sintered material than the two subsequent impregnation bodies 13, 15.
- the impregnation body is followed by a calming section, designated 10, in which the gas-liquid mixture emerging as turbulent flow from the outlet-side impregnating body 15 is calmed to a laminar flow before it emerges from the impregnator through a drain opening 7 and, for example, to a tap in FIG the dispenser is led.
- a calming section designated 10 in which the gas-liquid mixture emerging as turbulent flow from the outlet-side impregnating body 15 is calmed to a laminar flow before it emerges from the impregnator through a drain opening 7 and, for example, to a tap in FIG the dispenser is led.
- the drain pipe 7 is provided in a screwed onto the mixing tube 1 cover, which is sealed with an O-ring against the mixing tube.
- the mixing tube 1 is also closed with a screwed-in component, a head piece 21 and sealed with an O-ring.
- the liquid supply F can be connected to the head piece 21.
- the head piece 21 is penetrated by a gas supply channel, which via a Pipe stub 3 opens into the mixing cell, and from a liquid passageway, which opens at a location designated 6 eccentrically in the mixing cell 1.
- threaded bores are provided in the head piece into which are screwed connection pieces 33, 31, in each of which a check valve 29, 27 is received, with which the gas or liquid supply channel against return from the mixing cell 1 are secured.
- a connecting pin 23 is screwed into the gas supply-side connecting piece 33, which can be plug-connected to a gas supply line, whereas a connection pin 25 is screwed into the local connection piece 31 on the liquid supply side, to which a liquid hose can be plugged with a suitable plug-in piece.

- the Vorimoniagnierhülse 17 is the headpiece side sealed with a trained as an inner shoulder on a paddle wheel 19 sealing ring against the head and the other end against the plate 5 of the pipe stub 3, wherein in the drawing, the pipe stub 3 in a not yet fully entered into the threaded hole in the head state is.
- the paddle wheel 19 has guide vanes distributed over its circumference, with which the liquid entering the mixing cell 1 at the liquid inlet 6 is placed in a spiral swirling flow.
- the pipe stub 3 forming the gas inlet into the mixing cell 1, on the other hand, has on its circumferential surfaces two long holes 4 through which the gas from the gas supply channel can pass through the preimpregnating sleeve 17 into the mixing cell 1.
- the mixing process is as follows: From a connected gas supply G gas is passed through the head 21 penetrating the gas supply channel to the slots 4 of the pipe stub 3 and exits there. The escaped gas forcibly diffuses through the preimpregnation sleeve 17, which is received in a sealed manner at both ends, whereby the gas flow entering as gas jet is distributed to a surface of the preimpregnation sleeve 17 facing the mixing cell 1 over a large area, at the surface of the pores of the porous material the Vorimstorygnierhülse 17 is formed, swirling gas injection converts before it enters the mixing cell 1.
- liquid from an attached liquid supply F exits the mixing tube central axis A eccentrically through a liquid supply channel penetrating the head piece 21 at the point 6 into the mixing cell 1.
- the liquid flow impinges on the guide vanes 41 of the impeller 19 and is acted upon by this with a swirl in the transverse direction to the inflow direction, so that the liquid inlet inflow is first braked and swirled.
- the pre-impregnation stage 17 consists of a merely semipermeable, hydrophobic material, the fluid inflow can not penetrate as far as the gas outlet openings 4.
- a first premixing of the turbulent gas inflow distributed over a large area and the swirling liquid inflow in the mixing cell 1 thus takes place in the inflow region in the vicinity of the head piece 21.
- the preimpregnation stage 17 and the pre-Verwirungsungs shake (paddle 19) could also be omitted.
- an ultrasonic vibrator could also be provided to effect a pre-impregnation.
- the ultrasonic vibrator could also be arranged downstream of the impregnating bodies 11, 13, 15 described below.
- a high-frequency vibrator could also be provided. As high frequency frequencies above 12000 Hz are referred to within the scope of the invention.
- the surface of the porous Festissonim WeggnierMechs 11 is formed not only by its outer surface, but also by the surface of the pores in the interior of the impregnating 1 1 and is therefore very large, so that there is a large turbulence of the passing flow and high due to the large phase interface Solution of the gas in the liquid comes.
- two further impregnation bodies 13, 15 can be connected, with which the fine Position of the mixing ratio of the gas-liquid mixture is made.
- the impregnating bodies 11, 13, 15 are produced from a porous sintered material in a disc shape and stuffed into the mixing tube 1 so that they completely close their diameter and the inflow is forced to diffuse through the material of the impregnated bodies 11, 13, 15 ,
- the two impregnation bodies 13, 15 have a smaller number of pores than the foremost impregnation body 11.
- the sintered solids 1 1, 13, 15 can, as has recently been found, are also replaced by foam impregnating body, in particular by polyester or PolyetherfilterSystemume, preferably reticulated.
- the gas-liquid mixture After passing through the main impregnation, which is formed by the impregnation 11, 13, 15, the gas-liquid mixture enters a separated by the impregnating body 11, 13, 15 of the remaining mixing cell 1 calming area 10, in which the decelerated turbulent flow and is converted into a laminar flow, which can escape via the drain opening 7 from the mixing cell.
- FIG. 2 a shows an embodiment of the impregnator according to the invention in which the impregnation also takes place according to the same principle as in the impregnator shown in FIG. 1, wherein, however, a valve arrangement is provided on the inlet side of the mixing cell in which a gas inlet closing element 121 and a liquid inlet closing element 127 is coupled, whereas a pressure compensator arrangement is provided on the outlet side of the mixing cell.
- the mixing cell inlet-side valve arrangement and the mischzellenauslasssei- term pressure compensator complement each other in terms of intercepting pressure or volume fluctuations in the inlet and on the tap side. This is of great importance, in particular with regard to the beer-side beer aeration with CO 2 , since beer is a beverage which starts to foam easily. However, when the beer or beer-gas mixture in the dispenser tears under foam formation, no satisfactory Zapfdate can be achieved.
- the liquid flows through the liquid inlet F and the gas through the gas inlet G into the mixing head 121 and is forwarded there into the mixing cell 1, in which the actual impregnation takes place.
- the gas inlet closing element 129 has the shape of a piston tapering conically towards the gas inlet G, the liquid inlet closing element 127 being in the shape of a truncated cone for insertion into the liquid. Let is tapering piston and the two closing elements 127, 129 are connected via a sectionally needle-like connecting portion 128 to a valve slide unit.
- the liquid inlet closing element 127 is biased against the liquid inlet by a ring spring 134 which, on the one hand, is supported on the rear side of the liquid inlet closing piston 127 and on the other side on a wall of the liquid inlet channel, enclosing the connecting section 128.
- the liquid inlet closing element 127 When a force is exerted on the liquid inlet closing element 127 by the incoming liquid, which force is greater than the counterforce resulting from the mixing cell internal pressure on the inside of the liquid inlet closing element 127, the spring force and the gas pressure on the gas inlet closing element 129, the liquid inlet closing element opens 127 the liquid inlet and - via the connecting portion 128 - the gas inlet closing element 129 the gas inlet.
- the conical course of the gas inlet closing element 129 and of the gas inlet barrier section enclosing it is matched to the truncated cone-like course of the liquid inlet closing element 127 or the liquid inlet barrier section enclosing it so that the optimum mass flow ratio for each impregnation process is: gas for each pressure gradient between liquid inlet and mixing cell Adjusting fluid.
- the gas supply G takes place through a Vorimoniagnier stresses 117 therethrough, on which the liquid feed F flows annularly.
- a compressible balloon 26 can furthermore be provided as a volume compensation body.
- the impregnator is in the overhead position, i. the mixing head 121 is below and the mixing cell 1 with the impregnating bodies 13 has a vertically upward flow pattern.
- the mixing cell 1 after passing through the impregnating 13 still existing gas bubbles B can ascend in this way and be intercepted in a calming 10 of the mixing cell 1, without entering the pressure compensator at the mixing cell outlet and thereby lead to turbulence on the tap.
- the mixing head 121 may be arranged at the top. Because, as has been shown, even better results are achieved. This is due to the fact that the carbonated liquid is still in a kind of sedimentation tank before the (bottom) exit from the mixing cell. In addition, unbound gas, especially CO2 in the liquid, tends to rise, ie, back towards the proportional valve to be bound in liquid there. If the liquid or the beverage impregnated in the impregnating or mixing cell 1, for example carbon dioxide, reaches the inlet for the pressure compensator arrangement, then it presses against the throttle body 108 with the working pressure in the mixing cell 1. This pressure is acted upon by the prestressing force the back against the throttle body 108 oppressive spring 109, which can be adjusted via an adjusting screw 9a.
- the tap opens the tap line adjoining the outlet side A, the pressure drops on the outlet side A and the throttle body 108 is pushed up so far that the in the mixing cell 1 impregnated liquid can flow through the pressure compensator assembly through to the tap.
- the gap width between the sleeve 102 and the throttle pin 108 determines the flow velocity and thus the mass flow and at the same time has an influence on the pressure loss at the pressure compensator arrangement. If the tapper requires a large amount of, for example, tap-proof impregnated beer, the pressure drops sharply on the tap side and the throttle body 108 opens onto a large gap width. If the pressure drops less on the tap side (because the tap requires a smaller amount) opens the throttle body 108 to a smaller gap width.
- the pressure compensator assembly also acts on the inlet valve assembly because the pressure compensator assembly will buffer pressure changes in the mixing cell resulting from the various bleed rates thereby reducing the gas metering problems to be intercepted through the inlet valve assembly at different pressure gradients between the fluid inlet and mixing cell as the pressure fluctuations become smaller become.
- FIG. 2b A further embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 2b.
- the throttle body 108 shown in FIG. 2a and, correspondingly, the sleeve 102 are somewhat slimmer than the body 8 or sleeve 2 shown in FIG. 2b, so that overall the friction losses are slightly lower.
- the sleeve 102 is completely received in the stopper 120 closing the mixing cell on the outlet end face, to which the outlet piece 130 is flanged with a side-going outlet A and sealed to the sleeve 102 with an O-ring.
- the plug 120 is sealed with an O-ring and a front side inserted flat gasket against the side walls of the mixing cell.
- the pressure compensator assembly thus comprises a line piece 2, 30, 12, which is screwed into an (inner) threaded flange 20 of an impregnator, which forms the end wall of the mixing cell 1.
- the line piece 2, 30, 12 has an inlet-side sleeve 2, which is pressed into a corresponding receiving opening in the mixing cell 1 on the outlet end wall of the final threaded flange 20 final.
- a throttle body or pin 8 is arranged, which tapers towards the inlet side and thus corresponds to the local expansion of the sleeve 2.
- a spring 9 which urges the pin 8 to the inlet of the sleeve 2, so that the inlet of the sleeve 2 and the line piece 2, 30, 12 is closed, if no pressure from the inlet side on the pin 8 acts.
- the spring 9 is supported on an annular shoulder 16 in the pipe section 30, wherein the pipe piece 30 is screwed sealed into the internal thread of the threaded flange 20 and holds the sleeve 2 in the receptacle in the threaded flange 20 and with her a continuous, to the environment forms sealed conduit.
- a connecting piece 12 is inserted into the pipe section 30, so that the impregnator can be connected via the pressure compensator assembly to the dispensing line.
- the pressure compensator arrangement of FIG. 2b thus differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2a essentially in that the beverage outlet takes place here through the annular spring 9 and then kink-free vertically upward, whereas according to FIG. 2a a lateral beverage outlet connection is provided.
- the inlet valve arrangement differs even more fundamentally from the embodiment shown in Fig. 2a, similar reference numerals have been given here as in Fig. 2a, as in the case of the pressure compensator arrangement for functionally similar or identical components.
- the liquid inlet closing element 227 is in turn supported by an annular spring 234 against the liquid inlet pressure, which encloses a connecting portion 228 which connects the liquid inlet closing element 227 with the gas inlet closing element 229 to a piston slide unit, which is displaceable in the aligned gas inlet channel and liquid inlet channel.
- the hollow cylinder forming the liquid inlet closing element 227 is open towards the liquid inlet and closed with an end wall on the mixing cell side, whereas the hollow cylinder needle forming the gas inlet closing element 229 is closed towards the gas supply side by a front wall and several more are distributed to the mixing cell 1 over its circumference 2b, not shown in FIG. 2b (see reference numeral 232 in FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the hollow cylinder forming the liquid inlet closing element 227 is in a bore forming a liquid inlet blocking section with little play. and the hollow cylinder needle constituting the gas inlet closing member 229 is formed in a bore forming a gas inlet portion, and a gas seal 239 is provided between the bore and the hollow cylinder needle and the two holes are aligned with each other.
- a impregnation body 213 may be pressed, through which the flow must pass.
- the impregnation body 213 is dimensionally stable to the extent that no further fastening means are required, that is, for example, consists of a dimensionally stable hollow fiber module. Except for the calming area 10, he completely fills the mixing cell 1. Again, it has been shown that the impregnator is best operated in a position in which the mixing head is up, ie in a relation to the drawing rotated by 180 ° position.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 each show modifications of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2b.
- an open position of the valve spool consisting of the liquid inlet closing element 227, the connecting section 228 and the gas inlet closing element 429 is indicated by a hatched line.
- the chain of the gas passages 438 revolves around the side circumferential wall of the gas inlet closing element 429 with a smaller pitch.
- a greater number of gas passages are released per unit length by which the valve slide is moved into the open position than in the embodiment shown in Fig. 2b.
- the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 may be used for the production of a different beverage than the embodiment shown in FIG. 2b, for example for the production of wheat beer from a non-carbonated wheat beer precursor and carbon dioxide as opposed to the production of light beer a non-carbonated barley beer precursor and carbon dioxide.

- the liquid passages 536 arranged as a chain around the circumference of the liquid inlet closing member 527 have a diameter of 2.2 mm.
- the diameter ratio is thus in a range of 1: 9 to 1: 1, which appears to be suitable overall for proportional valves for impregnating the type according to the invention for beer production.
- the gas flows through the gas passages 538 into an inner bore 540 which extends along the gas inlet closing element 529 and is otherwise closed to the gas inlet side, which is illustrated in FIG. From the inner bore 540, the gas flows via two outlet openings 532 (diameter 2.2 mm) at the periphery of the connecting portion 528 in the mixing cell.
- the inner bore 540 may be in contact with the liquid side, but does not have to. In the example shown, it is drilled from the liquid side into the valve slide, so that it can be manufactured in one piece.
- the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 differs essentially only from the following points from the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2b to 5: the mixing cell is completely surrounded by a foam made of a compressed foam in its upper region 1 'impregnating solid body 513 filled, which is pressed by means of a designated 514 perforated plate in position and held there.
- the perforated plate 514 is in turn held on its outer periphery by a threaded plug 520 in position with which the mixing cell is sealed on the output side.
- the impregnating body is in particular made of polyester or polyether filter foam with a pore size of 90-100 PPI (pores per inch), for example measured according to the PPI measuring method. This corresponds to a pore size of approx.
- the cell structure is that of a reticulated filter foam, ie nearly 100% open-celled.
- an impregnating body filling out the entire mixing cell could also be provided.
- the impregnator is installed for the reasons already mentioned in the position shown in Fig. 6 with overhead head piece.
- the compensator pin 508 is arranged in the threaded plug 520 in a correspondingly shaped recess 502 which tapers conically towards the mixing cell.
- both impregnating solids and the inlet-side proportional valve and the outlet side pressure compensator can be used.
- impregnated solids by employing impregnated solids, clogging or malfunctioning of the pressure compensator is prevented and the inlet pressure control valve reduces the pressure fluctuations on the pressure compensator and vice versa.
- embodiments of an impregnator would also be conceivable which each have the features shown only with regard to the filling of the mixing cell, the inlet or the outlet or in which only two of these aspects of the invention are realized.
- drinks such as cider, sparkling wine, champagne, apple juice, cola can be prepared by carbonating from a corresponding, low-carbon or -lose precursor with the impregnator according to the invention.
- a control or regulation of an impregnator having the features of the preamble of claim 21 can also be provided within the scope of the invention the CO ⁇ content in the beverage produced by the impregnator according to the invention is regulated via the input-side gas pressure as a manipulated variable. If you want to have less CO2 in the beverage than currently available, the gas pressure is reduced, e.g.
- the gas pressure is increased, e.g. at 6 bar.
- the gas pressure would also have to be corrected upwards until the ratio is right again.
- the CO 2 concentration in the beverage produced can be measured and the gas pressure can be adjusted according to a suitable control algorithm.
- the suitable gas pressure can also be read as a parameter recorded in advance in a characteristic diagram of the respective impregnator and of the respective beverage and adjusted accordingly.
