Embodiment Construction

[0070] Figure 1A is a vertical cross-sectional view of beverage dispensing system 10 . Beverage dispensing system 10 includes a housing 12 and an interior volume 14 constituting a pressure chamber. The interior volume 14 is typically cooled by cooling elements (not shown). The interior volume 14 contains a flexible beverage container 16 filled with a carbonated beverage 18 secured to a rigid plastic base plate 20 , for example by snapping onto a set of flanges 22 of the beverage container 16 . The beverage container 16 includes an outlet 24 which is initially sealed by a pierceable membrane at the base plate 20 . The base plate 20 of the beverage container 16 is secured to the housing 12 by a base member 26 which includes a piercing element 28 in fluid communication with a dispensing line 30 . When a new beverage container 16 is installed, the base member 26 is juxtaposed with the base plate 20 of the beverage container 16 such that the beverage outlet 24 is pierced by the ...

Abstract

A method for determining a volume of beverage, preferably a carbonated beverage in a collapsible beverage container, comprises a beverage dispensing system including a pressure chamber with the collapsible container, the pressure chamber defining an inner volume equal to the sum of the volume of beverage and a residual gas volume. The method also comprises a pressurization system for supplying a volume of gas of atmospheric pressure from the outside of the pressure chamber to the residual gas volume, and a pressure sensor for detecting a low pressure value and a high pressure value, respectively. The method further comprises the steps of supplying the volume of gas to the residual gas volume by using the pressurization system, determining the volume of gas supplied by the pressurization system from the outside of the pressure chamber to the residual gas volume, and establishing a measure of the volume of beverage included in the collapsible beverage container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for volumetric measurement of beverages in beverage dispensing systems. Background technique [0002] Conventional beverage dispensing systems for professional or private use are described in eg WO2007 / 019848, WO2007 / 019849, WO2007 / 019850, WO2007 / 019851 and WO200 / 019853, such as the DraughtMaster produced by the applicant company TM system. Such beverage dispensing systems are primarily used for storing and dispensing carbonated beverages, such as beer. Using a beverage dispensing system for storing and dispensing beverages offers a number of advantages over using cans or bottles. Most commercial beverage dispensing systems include a tapping system for simply dispensing the beverage into the beverage cup and a cooling system to keep the beverage at a constant and correct low temperature. [0003] For hygienic reasons, all parts that come into contact with the beverage must be handled in an aseptic...
