AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Regardless, the operation of dispensers with adjustable flow controls has resulted in inconsistent beverage quality and unnecessary labor costs
Beverage integrity can be compromised when flow control devices are improperly calibrated, especially by untrained service technicians, or when flow control components drift out of regulation before recalibration is performed
Also, the training required for technicians can be a waste of time and money

Embodiment Construction

[0017] [117] Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like elements in the various figures, figure 2 The flow controller 100 described herein is shown. As noted above, the flow controller 100 is intended to be used with beverage dispenser valve assemblies (not shown) known in the art. As part of one of these beverage dispenser valve assemblies, the flow controller 100 can be connected to and be in fluid communication with one or more beverage fluid lines (not shown) such that the flow controller 100 receives beverage fluid from the beverage fluid lines, such as Post-mixed concentrates, post-mixed diluents, or pre-mixed beverage fluids. Flow controller 100 is operable to control the amount and flow rate of a flow of beverage fluid discharged by a dispensing nozzle (not shown) of a beverage dispenser valve assembly.

[0018] [118] If figure 2 As shown, flow controller 100 can be divided into two parts: flow control assembly 110 and valve assembly 120 ...

Abstract

A flow controller includes a flow control chamber, a diffuser and a fixed-length stop. The fixed-length stop includes a stem and a plug. The stem can be compressed along its longitudinal axis. The flow controller further includes an interface that detachedly affixes to the flow control body. A fixed portion of the fixed-length stop is affixed to the interface. The flow controller further includesa plurality of fixed-length stops with a number of predetermined lengths. When installed, each of the fixed-length stops is positioned a predetermined distance into the diffuser to produce a certain flow rate of the fluids passing through the flow control chamber. The fixed-length stops are color coded according to the predetermined lengths.

Description

technical field [0001] [101] This application relates generally to dispensing equipment, and in particular, but not in a limiting manner, to an improved flow controller for regulating the flow rate of a beverage fluid stream associated with a beverage dispenser . Background technique [0002] [102] Standard post-mix beverage dispensers mix various beverage fluids to dispense a beverage. In particular, a feed of a concentrated liquid, such as a beverage-flavored syrup for soft drinks, is mixed with a feed of a diluent, such as plain or carbonated water. The concentrate and diluent are dispensed simultaneously, typically through the dispensing nozzle of the dispensing valve assembly, thereby mixing and dispensing the desired beverage to the customer. Accordingly, each beverage fluid is delivered from the beverage fluid source through the beverage dispenser through the beverage fluid line to the dispense valve assembly. Standard post-mix beverage dispensers typically include...
