Abstract

A converter valve allows product dispenser operator to change from a first fluid source to a second fluid source without fluid crossover. The converter valve includes a first port in fluid communication with a dispense point, a second port in fluid communication with a first fluid source having a first fluid, and a third port is in fluid communication with a second fluid source having a second fluid. The converter valve includes a passage between the first and second ports, and a plug in fluid communication with third port. The second and third ports of the converter valve are disposed symmetrically about the first port, and, accordingly, the converter valve is rotatable about the first port. As such, the converter valve delivers the first fluid to the dispense point, and delivers the second fluid through the passage to the dispense point when the converter valve is rotated.

Description

Invention field [0001] The present invention relates to a dispensing device, and more specifically (but not limited to), to a method and device for preventing fluid and / or material crossing in a dispenser. Background technique [0002] In the field of distribution, distributors with limited reconfiguration capabilities are being used in the changing market. New popular flavors and beverage types are constantly pouring into the market, and retailers are trying to use old dispensers to distribute the latest products. [0003] The latest beverage products may have a similar consistency and viscosity to the old products, so they can be easily adapted to existing or traditional beverage equipment. However, when the concentrate lines in the beverage dispenser are alternately used to dispense two varying product types, problems arise. Specifically, if a product belongs to the "spicy" category, then the "spicy" product will leave a residue or odor, and it is not easy to eliminate this re...
