MINERAL WATER SUPPLYING SYSTEM COMPATIBLY USABLE FOR REFRIGERATOR AND COLD/HOT WATER DISPENSER

摘要

According to the present invention, a mineral water supply system is capable of supplying cold or hot water by having small capacities (1.8-2.8 liters) of plastic bottles in a refrigerator or a cold and hot water dispenser while the caps of the plastic bottles are not opened, wherein the plastic bottles contain bottled mineral water made when collected bedrock groundwater or deep sea water passes through a filter and a sterilization process. When installed in the refrigerator, the mineral water supply system is capable of maintaining minerals in the bottled mineral water by excluding a water purification filter, and is capable of reducing the stagnation time of the bottled mineral water in pipes inside and outside a cooling water storage tank and the refrigerator by excluding the pipes. In addition, the mineral water supply system in the refrigerator is capable of restraining contamination due to bacteria and the propagation of the bacteria by reducing the stagnation time. Furthermore, the mineral water supply system in the refrigerator is capable of reducing the number of times of opening the door of the refrigerator, thereby reducing power consumption. When installed in the cold and hot water dispenser, the mineral water supply system is capable of preventing the bottled mineral water from being contaminated by the reuse of a large mineral water pail, is capable of preventing the bottled mineral water from touching unpurified outside air and from being exposed to sunlight, and is capable of preventing the contamination due to the bacteria and the propagation of the bacteria by reducing the stagnation time of the bottled mineral water in the mineral water pail. In addition, the mineral water supply system in the cold and hot water dispenser is capable of mitigating inconvenience due to the weight of the existing large mineral water pail in the case of the installation and the handling of the large mineral water pail.
