<p>The apparatus for the carbonation of a liquid comprises a source (10, 40, 60) of pressurised carbon dioxide gas, a fitting (12, 41, 61) having a first inlet for connection to the carbon dioxide source (10, 40, 60) and a second inlet connectable to a source (13, 42, 62) of the liquid, a control device (30, 31) for permitting or stopping flow of carbon dioxide gas from the source (10, 40, 60) thereof into the fitting (12, 41, 61) and means to carbonate the liquid with the carbon dioxide gas, characterised in that the carbonation means is provided in two stages, the first stage comprising a turbulating device (15, 49, 50, 66) having an inlet end connected to the outlet of the fitting and having an outlet end connected to the second stage, which second stage comprises means (17, 51, 67) to further break up and dissolve remaining carbon dioxide bubbles in the liquid.</p> |
