    摘要: A valve trim for a pressure reduction valve containing a plurality of high hydraulic flow resistance flowpaths therethrough. Each flowpath comprises at least two inlets (208, 209) and at least one impingement zone (210) having two zone inlets (211, 212) and two zone outlets (213, 214). The zone inlets (211, 212) communicate with the inlets (208, 209) and are arranged substantially 180 degrees to one another. The two zone outlets (213, 214) are arranged substantially perpendicular to the zone inlets (211, 212) such that flow entering the two zone inlets (211, 212) mutually impinges on itself creating an area of high energy loss, and thereafter separates and exits through the zone outlets (213, 214).

    摘要: An electronic control for the operation of a beverage dispenser of the refrigerated ice bank type is shown. The control provides for reliable determinations of when ice production is needed and when it is not needed. A microprocessor receives information from an ice bank probe and from a temperature probe located within the ice bank. Data collected by the microprocessor from both the ice bank probe and the temperature probe is used to determine if the ice bank is either insufficient in size and should be increased or is of sufficient size such that the compressor can be turned off. A carbonator level probe is also shown and connected to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed whereby the carbonator probes are sampled in a manner to accurately determine the level of water in the carbonator and therefore the need for turning on or turning off any water pump connected thereto. Both the operation of the compressor and the water pump are controlled by the microprocessor wherein the programming thereof provides for adequate hysteresis protection so that short cycling of the compressor and water pump is avoided.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a tubing end fitting and a method of forming thereof wherein the fitting is formed out of the tubing itself. In a first step, the tubing end is compressed in a linear direction and shortened forming a first annular ridge extending around the tubing spaced from the end of the tube by a small tube portion. At the same time, the small tube portion diameter is reduced slightly. The small tube end portion is again compressed slightly in a linear direction initiating the formation of a second annular ridge spaced from the first annular ridge, while at the same time again slightly reducing the diameter of the remaining tubing end portion. In a third step the tubing end is again compressed in a linear direction completing the formation of the second annular ridge. In a fourth step the remaining tube end portion is flared outwardly forming an o-ring receiving groove between the second annular ridge and the tube end.

    摘要: The dispenser herein has a cold plate forming a bottom of an ice retaining bin. A bin liner is formed of two parts, a flat carbonator and a remaining U-shaped sheet metal wall structure. The carbonator and sheet metal structure when secured together form the bin liner, which, in turn, is secured to and around a perimeter edge of the cold plate and extends upward therefrom. In particular, the carbonator includes a flange integral therewith and extending from a portion of a perimeter edge thereof. A portion of the flange extends along the bottom of the carbonator for securing thereof to the cold plate, and further flange portions extend along opposite vertical carbonator edges for securing to corresponding vertical edges of the bin liner sheet metal portion. In an alternate embodiment a flat container is retained within a vertical portion of an L-shaped cold plate. A bin liner is secured to a horizontal portion of the cold plate and to the vertical portion thereof for forming an ice retaining bin.

    摘要: A beverage dispenser having a flat carbonator along one end of an ice bank cooled water bath tank. A plurality of syrup coils are arranged along an interior surface of the carbonator. An evaporator extends around a central perimeter of the water bath tank creating a central opening through which an agitator shaft and blade extend for operation by an agitator motor. The agitator shaft extends at an angle into the tank for directing a flow of water towards the carbonator. The tank includes ridges on a bottom surface thereof for directing water upward towards the carbonator and syrup coils and away from a bottom perimeter of the ice bank.

    摘要: A dispense tap for a frozen beverage machine has a transition section defining a tapered bore with an inlet for frozen beverage from a freeze barrel of the machine and an outlet for frozen beverage controlled by a valve operable by a handle. The handle is rotatable to allow frozen beverage to flow from the transition section through a dispense cavity in the valve for exiting the tap. The outlet has a cross-section greater than the cross-section of the inlet which prevents ice conglomerating and forming a plug in the bore of the transition section.

    摘要: A valve 100 comprising a magnetic circuit comprising a first member 101 and a pivotably mounted armature 102 the armature being movable between a position in which the valve seal 104 engages the valve seat 105 of valve port 103 to block the valve port 103, and a position away from the first member 101. A coil 106 surrounds the armature 102 which, when supplied with an electric current, creates a magnetic field in the armature 102 attracting the free end to the first member 101. Dampening pads 110 are provided on the armature 102. Each dampener pad 110 comprises a layer of viscoelastic material covered by a protective layer of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). During use, as there is wear between the armature 102 and the first member 101, and/or non magnetic section 107, the dampening pad 110 is compressed on impact by an increasing degree, thus the more worn the valve becomes, the more the dampening and thus the greater the protection against further wear.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a cooling coil configuration that permits an extended length of coil in a smaller total volume of water bath utilized, than is seen in such coils in the prior art. The coil of the present invention is made from a continuous length of stainless steel tubing that is bent in a manner to provide for the desired configuration. In one embodiment, the full coil is made up of four sub-coils generated by bending the tube through a plurality of consecutive 180 degree or semi-circular arcs having straight tubular portions intervening there between. In order of bending, there is a first large arc, a second medium sized bend of smaller circular diameter than the large bend, three consecutive small bends all of the same size and of a further smaller diameter than the medium bend, a further medium sized loop the same dimension as the previous medium one, and ending with a large loop, again of the same dimension as the first large loop. The loops are collapsible partially within each other in a manner that conserves the total volume thereof.
