摘要:
An apparatus and method for handling carbon dioxide and excluding it from contact with the atmosphere while carbonating and storage, transfer, and dispensing of the carbonated beverage. The apparatus includes one or two vessels and a valve assembly for each vessel. Each valve assembly has a pressure relief valve and an outlet tap, which are normally closed to isolate the interior of the vessel from the atmosphere, and a pump for transferring and dispensing air and liquid from or to its vessel, all without bringing the carbon dioxide in contact with the atmosphere.

The invention provides an improved structure for aerating potable liquids used in the preparation of drinks. The structure includes a movable part which provides access for a container; a pneumatic seal arrangement engageable with the container, a traveller arranged to allow the movable part to move vertically; and a control system for supplying compressed carbon dioxide to the seal and to the liquid in the container.
摘要:
An apparatus for introducing gas, e.g. atmospheric oxygen, into a liquid such as waste water or sewage comprises a plurality of ribs of airfoil cross-section and forming venturi nozzles which are first constricted and then widened in the direction of liquid flow. The ribs are formed with minute passages for introducing the gas into the liquid perpendicular to the direction of liquid flow across the ribs.
摘要:
A home portable tabletop carbonated beverage making apparatus and method of making carbonated beverages utilizing a pressurized source of gas, as carbon dioxide, to carbonate a container of liquid by causing the liquid to agitate and to flow within the container while the gas is being supplied to it and vented to escape from it so that the liquid presents changing surfaces to the gas to effect substantial saturation of the liquid with the gas to enhance its carbonation.

A carbonated soft drink includes fructose, a malt extract in which maltose has been converted into glucose and a flavoring essence which may include kola nut extract.
摘要:
A device for sparging carbon dioxide from an acidified aqueous stream for use in a system for quantitatively determining the organic carbon content of the stream has a body with vertically extending cavities formed therethrough and passageways which connect the cavities in series so that the aqueous stream travels the length of a cavity before passing into the next. Dispersion tubes are mounted in the cavities for dispersing fine bubbles of sparging gas into the aqueous stream. The gas and carbon dioxide which has evolved from the aqueous stream is collected and discharged through the cavities.
摘要:
A device for mixing gases with a liquid carried in an elongated vertical vessel for creating a large mass of small bubbles which rise upwardly within the liquid to be absorbed thereby. The device can be readily disassembled for cleaning, and has a filter medium therein which minimizes clogging of the diffusing main body.
摘要:
A generator for generating a saturated fluid mixture under close temperature and pressure control including a chamber, means for introducing liquid water into the chamber and means for introducing into the chamber and into intimate contact with the water, gases from a source means selected from the group consisting of oxidizing and reducing gases for providing in the liquid water a mixture of carbon dioxide, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and oxidizing and carburizing gases for providing in the liquid water a mixture of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Temperature control means are provided for maintaining the temperature of the water at each control point temperature from about 32* F. to about 160* F., and pressure regulator means are provided for maintaining the pressure on any given gas mixture pressures from atmospheric up to 218.5 atmospheres so that the saturated fluid mixture is generated. The chamber includes outlet means for discharge of the generated saturated fluid mixture which is arranged so that the generated saturated liquid mixture retains its properties upon discharge from the chamber so that it can be used to treat metallic and nonmetallic materials to alter their properties. Several embodiments of the generator are shown and described and a number of examples are set forth.
摘要:
A bubble-forming device for gas-liquid contact which can be advantageously used for air oxidation in a liquid phase comprising a housing divided into upper and lower chambers by a partition having an orifice, a liquid inlet in the lower chamber, a gas inlet in the lower chamber having a nozzle directed upward toward the orifice, and having orifices in the side wall of the upper chamber such that gas-liquid mixture will be directed upward through the orifice in the partition toward the ceiling of the upper chamber and directed out the orifices in the side wall. A process for carrying out air oxidation in a liquid phase using said device by creating a large number of fine air bubbles in the liquid.
