Definitions
- the present invention relates to a beverage dispensing apparatus, more particularly to a device of the type pressurized beer machine for private use.
- Beer machines for private use generally comprise an insulated chamber containing a barrel, a draw-off device connected to the barrel and a barrel cooling device comprising a thermoelectric Peltier system.
- the cooling device takes a time, of the order of a day, to bring the beer to a service temperature of about 4 degrees.
- this one-day time, to bring the beer to a serving temperature is divided by about four. This type of operation therefore requires the user a very long waiting time before consuming a beer at the right temperature at each drum change.
- the cooling device is operational only in a place where the electrical network is available.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a beverage dispensing apparatus provided with a drum cooling device to reduce the time to bring a new drum to a service temperature.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a beverage dispensing apparatus provided with a drum cooling device which has an improved calorie removal process of the barrel and therefore a better energy balance.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a beverage dispensing apparatus with a drum cooling device that is simple and economical to implement and use.
- the addition of a removable heat-transfer element makes it possible to reduce the time to put the service temperature of a drum which the user has just replaced or of a drum already in place in the apparatus which was not maintained at the service temperature.
- the installation of a heat transfer element in the device corresponds to the contribution of a large cooling capacity in view of the low cooling power of a thermoelectric Peltier effect system, generally of the order of 70 watts .
- the addition of a removable heat-transfer element makes it possible to maintain the service temperature of the drum for several hours after the apparatus has been disconnected from the electrical network, using the heat capacity stored in the heat-transfer element.
- the device can be used for example on a terrace or in a garden away from a power outlet.
- the removable heat-carrying element comprises an envelope filled with a coolant liquid capable of being subjected to a cooling phase in a freezer.
- thermoelectric system Peltier effect This arrangement allows the heat transfer element to store frigories in a simple manner, the freezer being a common device.
- a freezer has a much better performance than a thermoelectric system Peltier effect, so the energy balance to cool a drum at the service temperature is much better with the addition of the cooled heat transfer element than with a thermoelectric system with Peltier effect alone.
- the envelope of the heat transfer element comprises rigid walls.
- This arrangement makes it possible not to modify the geometry of the heat transfer element during its cooling in a freezer and thus to maintain a good contact with the barrel once put in place in the enclosure of the apparatus.
- the heat transfer liquid has a liquid / solid phase change temperature greater than the liquid / solid phase change temperature of the beverage.
- This arrangement makes it possible, with a liquid / solid phase change liquid, to store a large quantity of frigories corresponding to the latent heat of transformation of the liquid.
- this arrangement makes it possible to prevent the beverage in the barrel from freezing, the temperature of the heat transfer element always being higher than the temperature at which the beverage freezes.
- the enclosure comprises a bottom and an inner wall provided with an opening receiving the cold surface, and the inner wall comprises a receiving zone of the heat transfer element, disposed opposite the cold surface.
- This arrangement makes it possible to have a maximum heat exchange surface with the barrel and a good distribution of this exchange surface around the barrel and thus to reduce the cooling time of the barrel.
- the apparatus comprises means for pressurizing the barrel against the cold surface of the thermoelectric system.
- support means are included under stress of the barrel against the cold surface of the thermoelectric system.
- This arrangement improves the transfer of heat from the drum to the cold surface of the thermoelectric system, thus improving the cooling rate of the drum and having optimized energy efficiency.
- the means for pressurizing the barrel against the cold surface comprise a protuberance on the bottom, on which the barrel is supported; the protuberance being offset from the center of gravity of the barrel so that the weight of the barrel resting on the protuberance generates a tilting torque against the cold surface.
- This arrangement makes it possible to obtain the pressurization of the drum against the cold surface of the thermoelectric system in a very simple way, using gravity.
- the user easily replaces the barrel by inserting it into the enclosure and placing it on the protuberance of the bottom, without any particular precaution.
- the means for pressurizing the barrel against the cold surface comprise an insert, resting on a plane inclined towards the barrel, so as to apply a thrust towards the cold surface.
- This arrangement makes it possible to complete the pressurization of the barrel against the cold surface by applying a lateral force on the barrel with the aid of an insert, which improves the heat transfer of the heat from the barrel to the thermoelectric system.
- the insert is constituted by the heat transfer element.
- This arrangement reduces the cost of the device by reducing the number of components, the heat transfer element and the insert being a single piece.
- the means for pressurizing the drum against the surface cold comprise spring means adapted to apply a thrust of the heat transfer element against the barrel by bearing on the inner wall.
- This arrangement makes it possible to have a very good contact between the barrel and the heat transfer element, which improves the heat transfer of the heat from the barrel to the heat transfer element.
- the spring means also form means for handling the heat transfer element.
