Embodiment Construction

[0029] The detailed description of one or more embodiments of the disclosed apparatus and methods is presented herein by way of illustration and not limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] now refer to figure 1 , shows a schematic view of a frozen beverage machine 10 having a housing 12 and a dispensing outlet 14 . The machine 10 has an external power input (not shown) and potable water from a water supply system 16, for example from a building potable water supply. The machine 10 further includes an external input of pressurized carbon dioxide gas from a gas supply system 18 such as an external tank and regulator connected to an appropriate fitting on the machine 10 . Additional external inputs include one or more sources of flavored syrup from the syrup supply system 20 such as bags or containers. Depending on the particular implementation, gas supply system 18 and syrup supply system 20 may be located remotely from machine 10, such as in a servic...

Abstract

A method of measuring flow through an orifice includes the steps of: flowing a fluid through the orifice, measuring a pressure drop across the orifice and a temperature of the fluid at one or more predetermined intervals, calculating an interval amount of flow of fluid through the orifice for each interval based on the measured pressure drop and temperature of the fluid, and summing the calculatedinterval amounts of flow of fluid to determine an accumulated amount of fluid flow through the orifice.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 663,494, filed April 27, 2018, the entire contents of which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Exemplary embodiments relate to the fields of fluid flow measurement and mixing control. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to mixing fluids in frozen beverage machines. [0004] Frozen beverage machines, including frozen carbonated beverage (FCB) machines, introduce a fluid mixture, such as syrup and water, into a freezing cylinder. The freezing cylinder refrigerates or freezes the mixture to the desired temperature and consistency and the refrigerated mixture is dispensed through the dispenser mechanism of the frozen beverage machine. [0005] In a frozen beverage machine, it is desirable to have accurate control of the proportions of fluids present in the mix. A typical flow co...
