Beverage cooling and pumping

摘要

A soda pump for use in an ice bank cooling system which has an agitator (19) to prevent stratification of the water from which the ice bank is formed. The shaft (11) of the pump impeller (15) is magnetically coupled to the drive motor (10) and the agitator (19), which is mounted below the pump (14), is either directly driven or by a supplementary magnetic coupling (122, 123) from the impeller shaft (11). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
