Abstract

A refrigerated beverage dispenser. A beverage container (40) is carried in a covered refrigerated housing (21) that includes a heat exchanger (55) for maintaining beverage at a predetermined temperature. A dispensing tube (71) provides a conduit for the beverage. To dispense the liquid, a pressure differential is produced whereby the pressure on the liquid in the container (40) is greater than the pressure at a dispensing port.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to beverage dispensers. More specifically, the present invention relates to beverage dispensers for controlling the temperature of beverages. Background technique [0002] The prior art discloses various dispensers for controlling the temperature of beverages. These dispensers are used in a variety of applications. [0003] For example, US Patent No. 5,207,148 discloses an automatic latte coffee machine with a steam generator driving a Venturi mixing device. The Venturi mixer draws milk from a chilled source for the manufacture of milky espresso beverages. The source of refrigeration consists of a Peltier refrigeration unit and air circulation within an insulated enclosure. [0004] U.S. Patent No. 5,572,872 discloses a liquid cooling, storage and dispensing device formed from a covered freezer unit with a Peltier thermoelectric freezer as an example of a heat exchanger connected to an adjacent carton the wa...
