Title:
DRINK DISPENSER DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS63263374
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
In a compact beverage dispenser of the type in which the conditioned beverage is chilled and displayed in a plastic bowl atop a stand which houses a compression system of refrigeration, ambient air intake is fan-driven through and along the heat-exchange fins of a condenser grid which extends horizontally fully across spaces between lateral sidewalls of the stand. A single vertical-axis motor both pumps the beverage and rotates the refrigeration-system axial-flow fan in an upper region of the stand, above the horizontal condenser; a separately-motorized compressor package is disposed in the lower region of the stand, below the horizontal condenser, where it is bathed by heat-removing air flow forced downwardly by the fan in the upper region. Walls on at least two opposite sides of the stand are provided with openings allowing essentially free lateral flow of cooling air into and out of the upper and lower regions of the stand and between the condenser-grid fins; in a narrow-dispenser construction having an elongated rectangular condenser grid, fins necessarily lying beyond the periphery of the fan are actively swept by air forced laterally through the stand.
