A juice dispenser is shown that includes a water bath tank, a mechanical refrigeration system and a beverage containing cabinet. These three primary components are designed to be separable modular units that are easily assembled together and disassembled. A sheet metal refrigeration deck having an evaporator secured thereto and suspended there below is dropped into and secured to a top end of a water bath tank. Various mechanical refrigeration components including primarily a compressor and condenser, are supported above the deck at a rear portion thereof. The beverage cabinet is positioned and retained above a forward portion of the water bath tank and includes an internal space for retaining a beverage container for holding typically a volume of beverage or juice concentrate/syrup. Fluid disconnects provide for releasable connection with the water bath for providing fluid connection to a heat exchange coil located in the cabinet to provide cooling therein, and hence, cooling of the concentrate. A fluid disconnect is also provided for a line delivering cooled potable water to beverage dispensing valves secured externally of and to the cabinet. The valves combine the water with the beverage concentrate for preparing and dispensing the finished drink. The present invention provides for the advantage of being able to quickly disengage the fluid lines extending between the water bath and the concentrate cabinet so that those two primary components can be easily separated and worked on. Further quick disconnects permit the refrigeration deck to be lifted from and off the water bath tank to further aid is servicing either the water bath or refrigeration components.
