TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A LIQUID

摘要

A temperature control system (400) for a liquid comprises two sets of temperature control elements oppositely disposed to one another and define between them a temperature control zone. A conduit system within the temperature control zone defines a liquid flow path (300, 302) that is configured to have one or more first segments in proximity to and in heat-conducting association with one of the two sets and one or more second segments in proximity to and in heat-conducting association with the other of the two sets. The temperature control system (400) may be used as a liquid cooling or heating module in a cold liquid dispensing device or system, such as a drinking water or other beverage dispensing device.
