Title:
RETROFIT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A CARBONATED BEVERAGE DISPENSER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002012804
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A system and method for enhancing the carbonation of an ice-chilled beverage dispenser (200). The system includes a beverage dispenser (200) having an ice bin (203), a pre-chill coil (204) proximate a portion of a store of ice in the bin (203); an under-counter assembly having a carbonator in fluid flow communication with the pre-chill coil (204), and a pump for pumping water through the system. Water flows through the pre-chill coil (204) prior to flowing through the carbonator. Various methods of converting existing ice-chilled beverage dispensers including installing a pre-chill coil proximate a store of ice in the bin. Another method includes diverting the flow of water from a water chill coil to the carbonator, instead of a plain water valve. Also, the tubing from the water chill coil may be branched from the water chill coil to the plain water valve and the carbonator.
