Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for cooling in an unusual but effective way beer and other beverages packaged in metal kegs for on-tap dispensing.
- kegs meant for dispensing beer on tap are preset to allow drawing from one of the two end faces, which according to the chosen arrangement can be directed upward or even downward.
- the aim of the present invention is based mainly on the original solution to this problem, regardless of the method chosen for cooling the water to be sent to wet the kegs, since in this regard it is possible to use any conventional refrigeration apparatus or even an accumulation of ice. Moreover, it is irrelevant whether the cooling of the recirculating water, however performed, occurs upstream or downstream of the electric pump for delivery toward the kegs to be wet.
- the apparatus preset for the simultaneous cooling of two kegs 11, uses a conventional water cooling system, of the sealed or tray type, arranged in an enclosure 1 together with the pump for recirculating the water, which reaches the refrigerator through a duct 13 to be sent, after cooling and through flexible tubes 3, into perforated rings 4, which are fitted at the top of the kegs 11 and uniformly distribute the cold water onto the entire lateral surface.
- a conventional water cooling system of the sealed or tray type, arranged in an enclosure 1 together with the pump for recirculating the water, which reaches the refrigerator through a duct 13 to be sent, after cooling and through flexible tubes 3, into perforated rings 4, which are fitted at the top of the kegs 11 and uniformly distribute the cold water onto the entire lateral surface.
- the element 2 whose lower edge 5 is shaped so as to rest on the top of the enclosure 1 and surround it, is a sort of tray with a bottom 6 which is raised with respect to the enclosure 1 in order to allow the passage of a duct 12 which, inserted in the bottom of each one of the two kegs 11, protrudes outside through a suitable port 10 provided in an outer wall 7 of the element 2.
- a circular raised portion 9 protrudes upward from the bottom 6 of the element 2, is open centrally for the passage of the keg drawing duct 12 and allows the keg to rest directly thereon with its bottom so that the water, by virtue of the downward protrusion of the rim, can drip outside and reach a discharge hole 8.
- the duct 12 is preset for drawing beer from the bottom face of the keg, if necessary the keg can nonetheless be overturned and have the duct 12 at the top of the keg and therefore above the perforated ring 4.
