Apparatus For Maintaining The Temperature Of Syrup Through Use Of A Heat Sink

摘要

An apparatus used in drop-in, under the counter beverage dispense systems for maintaining the temperature of a syrup by utilizing a heat sink. The apparatus consists of a delivery system that can produce a finished drink product at temperatures between 32 to 40 degrees (F.). The apparatus utilizes the conductive cooling of an ice bin through a heat sink to maintain the temperature of a diluent and syrup product at or near 32 degrees (F.).
