MIXING VALVE AND DISPENSING SYSTEM

摘要

(GF-19736) MIXING VALVE AND DISPENSING SYSTEM Liquid beverage components are mixed with enhanced consistency by a mixing valve having a flow-restricting plate configured to split a stream of liquid into a plurality of radially-spaced jets for introduction into a mixing chamber. In a preferred embodiment, a dilution liquid such as water flows into the mixing chamber in radially-spaced jets and a beverage concentrate is metered into the mixing chamber transversely to the axis of the chamber to cause the degree of turbulence necessary to intimately mix the two liquids. A dispensing spout preferably extends downwardly and transversely of the axis of the mixing chamber.
