DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A FROTHED LIQUID FROM SOLUBLE INGREDIENTS AND DILUENT

摘要

Device for producing a frothed liquid comprising a chamber opened to atmosphere with a transverse bottom wall and a longitudinal upward wall, at least one diluent inlet, at least one liquid delivery outlet. The at least one diluent inlet comprises a first diluent inlet provided through the upward wall and dimensioned and oriented for directing a thin jet of diluent in the chamber. The at least one liquid delivery outlet is configured in the bottom wall for liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber as a result of the direction and dimension of the diluent inlet in the chamber.

1. A device for producing a frothed liquid comprising:
a cylindrically shaped chamber opened to the atmosphere and comprising a transverse bottom wall, a longitudinal upward wall, a first diluent inlet, and at least one liquid delivery outlet, the first diluent inlet extends through a lower portion of the upward wall and is inclined downwardly in direction toward the bottom wall at an angle (b) relative to a transversal plane of the chamber to direct a jet of diluent into the chamber, and the liquid delivery outlet is located in the bottom wall for enabling liquid to rise up along the side of the upward wall by the jet of diluent entering the chamber, wherein the first diluent inlet is oriented in a direction so that a ratio of a distance “d” to the radius “r” of the chamber is between 0.2 and 0.9, and wherein “d” is a distance measured orthogonally from a direction of orientation of the first diluent inlet to a central axis of the chamber.
