Cooling apparatus for cooling a liquid in a container

摘要

A liquid container designed to include an autonomous selective cooling device and cooling device applicable to the liquid container. The cooling device includes a heat exchanger comprising a first body with a cavity, a second body inside the cavity, a fluid passage formed between an outer surface of the second body and the surface of the cavity, and some means for causing a cooling fluid to flow while expanding along fluid passage up to an exhaust duct of the second body. A container comprises a cavity for a liquid, a first filling opening provided with a first closing element and a second opening with a first coupling element where a second coupling element is coupled to the second coupling element being formed at an extension of a second closure cap and connected to the heat exchanger, in such a way that the closure cap closes the second opening of the container and the heat exchanger is housed in the cavity of the container and in contact with the liquid contained in it.

主权项

1. An assembly comprising:
a cooling apparatus comprising an elongate heat exchanger having an exterior surface, the cooling apparatus having an inlet duct and an outlet duct located in a closure cap disposed at an end thereof, the inlet and outlet ducts being in fluid communication with a cooling medium flow passage located within the elongate heat exchanger, the closure cap comprising a first coupling element; and an elongate hand-held liquid container having a cavity for housing a liquid, the cavity having an open end and configured to receive at least a portion of the elongate heat exchanger, the elongate hand-held container comprising a second coupling element that is engageable with the first coupling element to facilitate a coupling of the cooling apparatus with the elongate hand-held container to form a liquid-tight seal at the open end of the cavity, the first and second coupling elements facilitating both an attachment and a removal of the cooling apparatus from the elongate hand-held container.
