Abstract

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif de distribution de boisson pouvant commander individuellement le niveau de mousse du lait mousseux et la température du lait sous forme de vapeur d'une manière adéquate et flexible. Pour atteindre cet objectif, une division est réalisée en une ou plusieurs périodes de production de lait mousseux (ΔT1) dans lesquelles de la vapeur et de l'air sont mélangés avec le lait fourni à partir d'une unité d'alimentation en lait pour produire du lait mousseux, et une ou plusieurs périodes de production de lait sous forme de vapeur (ΔT2) dans lesquelles de la vapeur est mélangée avec le lait fourni par l'unité d'alimentation en lait pour produire du lait sous forme de vapeur dans lequel le lait est chauffé, et un taux d'évacuation du lait dans la période de production de lait mousseux (ΔT1) (vitesse de rotation de pompe à tube (ω1) et le taux d'évacuation de lait dans la période de production de lait sous forme de vapeur (ΔT2) (vitesse de rotation de pompe à tube (ω2)) sont commandés individuellement.
