METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCED ENERGY IN A BEVERAGE MACHINE
摘要
The disclosure provides an improved method and system for reducing energy in a beverage machine. The disclosure provides for a reduced operation of a mixer motor in the beverage machine that still allows for testing product conditions and ensuring product quality unique to the needs of beverage dispensing. The product remains cooled or frozen longer, thus reducing compressor operation in a refrigeration system and heat input into the surrounding environment, such as a store, that further reduces the cooling needs of the environment for an overall reduced energy consumption with the beverage machine. The invention departs from the standard of continuous mixing to ensure product quality and reduces the energy input into the mixer motor and energy input into the product chamber, thus reducing the compressor reactivation frequency for significant energy savings.
