Manifold for dispensing beverage constituents

摘要

The manifold has a rectangular stainless steel tank section with L-shaped walls (41 and 43), which are joined together by roll welding their respective flanges, while brazing of rectangular end plates completes the tank. A stainless steel separator (44) is inserted within the tank prior to fitting the end plates. The separator extends the full length of the tank and creates upper and lower compartments (45 and 46). Fluid to be dispensed enters the respective upper and lower compartments via entry conduits (47 and 48), which extend upward through holes prepunched in the second wall (43) and the separator, and circulates to both ends of the tank. The circular collar (42) of the first wall (41) is surrounded by a banjo fitting (14) which provides a further fluid admission and has an axial outer shoulder (16), providing a land extending radially.
