<p>A chilling chamber (10) connected to a water tank (12) or a reservoir which may be within a water purifier (12) or to a pipe (212) within which water flow has a thermally conductive probe (16) which is connected to the cold side of a thermoelectric device (18), the hot side being connected to a heat sink (20). A tube (30) is coiled about the probe and has one end (28) connected with the water in the storage reservoir or pipe and another end (32) connected to a faucet (34). A liquid heat transfer medium (36) such as water is stored within the chilling chamber (10) about the probe (16) and the coil of tubing (30). The probe cools the heat transfer medium which cools the water within the coil of tubing. Cold water thus flows out of the faucet when the faucet is opened for a short time and the water within the coil gradually raises in temperature to again be cooled by the heat transfer medium.</p> |
