COOLING APPARATUS

摘要

The present invention provides an apparatus for cooling a product such as a beverage can/bottle. The apparatus comprises a reaction chamber for containing a solid reactant and having a base, an inlet for the introduction of a liquid reactant into the reaction chamber, and at least one perforated support which, in use, suspends the solid reactant above the reaction chamber base to facilitate dissolution of the solid reactant in the liquid reactant to form a cooling liquid in the reaction chamber. In use, the product is cooled by heat transfer between the product and the cooling liquid in the reaction chamber.
