Abstract

That one or more compensator pins (1) (5) replaced the compensator sleeve (6) in the field of application of post mix taps but generally the compensator pin (1) (5) is used in each post mix tap and also in outlet zones in the range of taps for preferably carbonated liquids.

Description

The invention relates to an arrangement and method for squeezing preferably non-bound in Post Mix taps Co ² in liquids tap water, after carbonization and before exiting the Post Mix tap, again over a Kompensatorstift to thereby foam formation the preparation of preferably Coca Cola light or apple spritzer, but generally all drinks that are prepared via post mix taps. The state of the art is that Post Mix taps have a chamber in front of the spout where carbonated liquids are tapped through an outlet. Syrup can escape in a second chamber within the Post Mix tap. The discharge of carbonated liquid can be dosed, also the syrup. When tapping the two aforementioned media, the relaxation of the Co ² from the carbonated liquid occurs. The unbound Co ² foams the syrup, which is also tapped and makes it much more difficult to tap soft drinks over post mix cocks. The reasons for this are that carbonated over hot or cold carbonators is a high Co ² volume in the liquid. This is generally not the main problem with tapping and foaming.

The problem is within the Post Mix taps, where carbonated liquid inevitably has to pass through the Post Mix tap. During the tapping process, the Co ² is literally torn out of the water and the Co ² can separate from the liquid. This reinforces the inserted sleeve in front of the exit region of carbonated liquid, since the sleeve is sharp-edged on both sides is at these sharp edges, for example, Co ^{2 separated} from the liquid and from this fact froth soft drinks such as Coca Cola light and Lift Apple spritzer very much.

This can be re-regulated before exiting the Post Mix taps by using a compensator pin as close as possible to the exit chamber of the Post Mix tap to squeeze the released Co ² back into the liquid. This preferred in the chamber where else the aforementioned sleeve sits. Compensator pins are not used by Post Mix taps manufacturers such as: the Cornelius Post Mix tap FS1 in the legendally a plastic sleeve is introduced in front of the outlet for carbonated liquid, which serves only more of the structure, Co ² of the Separating liquid by making a compensator pin instead of the sleeve can cause the Co ² relaxation that inevitably takes place within the post mix tap to be reversed for the most part and to suppress foaming on tapping. This has the advantage that you can achieve higher tapping speeds when tapping Post Mix drinks and also increases the Co ² volume in the Post Mix drink and lingers longer in the finished drink. Generally, a compensator pin should be used in each Post Mix tap.

There follows a detailed description of the invention and the 1 and 2

The 2 : shows the conventional sleeve ( 6 ) of the FS1 cock by the company Cornelius.

The 1 : shows compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) as a replacement of the sleeve ( 6 ) is used.

The invention can be applied particularly easily in the post mix dispensing area with respect to post mix taps with great advantage, preferably in view of foam suppression during dispensing of soft drinks, especially for problem drinks such as: Coca Cola light and apple spritzer, as described in detail below are (not shown pictorially) the compensator pin ( 1 ) ( 5 ) is used as a replacement for the compensator sleeve ( 6 ) in for example: Cornelius Post Mix-Hahn FS1 used. (not pictured)

It is preferably carried out this exchange in a simple manner in each post-mix tap of the aforementioned model, (not shown pictorially) by the Kompensatorhülse ( 6 ) against the compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) exchanges.

All Post Mix taps that are newly manufactured are equipped with the compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) fitted. (not pictured)

The invention is generally applied to any type of Post Mix taps, only by noting that the compensator pin (s) ( 1 ) ( 5 ) is intregiert as close as possible in the outlet zone of the post mix cock. (not pictured)

At the compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) it is important that the surface ( 2 ) is smooth and the zone whereupon the carbonated water exits has a preferably rounded surface ( 4 ) Has. This does not unnecessarily separate Co ² from the liquid, as with the compensator sleeve (FIG. 6 ) applies.

Compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) are generally preferably used in each faucet outlet or tap outlet zones or supply lines to the faucet outlet (not shown pictorially).

1 shows: a compensator pin ( 1 ) the only one rounded ( 4 ) Side and of course that is how it is applied.

The compensator pin (s) ( 1 ) ( 5 ) are manufactured so that the annular gap is calculated so that there is an optimal crushing zone around the unbound, preferably Co ² is squeezed back into the liquid. The compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) adjust the existing space in the Post Mix taps and so does not have to make a new tap design. Of course, also newly designed taps so with compensator pins ( 1 ) ( 5 ) (not shown pictorially).

For example, on some models of Post Mix taps, such as: Lancer taps having flow restrictor sleeves in a carbonated fluid drainage zone, the sleeve is fitted with at least one carbonator pin ( 1 ) ( 5 ) and it is in any case the same result, that the foaming of Post Mix drinks significantly improved, or no longer occurs (not pictured)

2 shows: the sleeve ( 6 ) ( 8th ) which is preferably inserted into the Cornelius Post Mix tap FS1 (not illustrated) and by the compensator pin ( 1 ) ( 5 ) is replaced.
