MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED BEVERAGE DISPENSER

摘要

A microprocessor-controlled beverage dispenser is disclosed, which provides a cold plate having disposed therein beverage lines and refrigerant lines. The refrigerant lines may be connected to a cooling or refrigeration system, including a heat exchanger. The beverage lines may be connected to a beverage supply for dispensing a desired beverage. Valves and pressure sensors in the refrigerant line are engaged with a microprocessor. If the temperature falls below a desired value, then the cooling system is shut off. This permits the microprocessor to closely control the temperature of the beverage being dispensed.

主权项

1. A beverage cooling dispensing system comprising:
a compressor, an condenser, and a cold plate; a liquid line valve fluidly disposed between the condenser and the cold plate; a liquid evaporator valve fluidly disposed between the cold plate and the compressor; and a processor configured to alter function of the compressor to maintain a pressure in the condenser when the liquid line valve and the liquid evaporator valve are closed.
