Problems solved by technology

However, if one or more of the components is highly concentrated, the flow rate of such one or more highly concentrated components required for continuous mixing becomes very small
To create and maintain such a very small and steady flow requires very precise and therefore more expensive dosing, dispensing equipment
Less expensive but less precise equipment may be able to dose highly concentrated components with the required level of accuracy, but the resulting flow rates of such component streams formed may be unacceptably high and therefore unsuitable continuous mixing

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The embodiments discussed below can be used to form a wide variety of beverages, including but not limited to cold and hot beverages, and including but not limited to beverages of any name under the Pepsi brand, such as Pepsi (Pepsi-Cola ).

[0021] Those of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains will appreciate that the delivery unit or dosing system and / or the portion thereof that supplies the dispenser with free-flowing product may be located away from the counter, such as in a back room, or placed at the counter place, such as under or above the counter.

[0022] In one aspect of the invention there is provided a method comprising providing a flow of diluent during a first period of time and dosing a highly concentrated microcomponent during a second period of time, said second period of time being less than The first time period, the second time period overlaps with a part of the first time period. The method may further comprise controllin...

Abstract

A system comprising a highly concentrated micro component source, an accumulator, a micro component valve and a controller. The accumulator may be configured to keep the highly concentrated micro component under a first pressure. The micro component valve may be configured to dose the highly concentrated micro component at the first pressure for a first period of time. The controller may be configured to control the dosing of the highly concentrated micro component by the micro component valve. The system may further comprise a source of a diluent configured to provide a flow of the diluent during a second period of time at a second pressure. The highly concentrated micro component along with the diluent may be dosed using different time periods and under different pressures.
