<p>A modular beverage cooling and dispensing system comprising a plurality of beverage cooling and dispensing modules (3), and a single power module (5) containing a single compressor (53) for servicing all of the beverage cooling and dispensing modules (3). Each beverage cooling and dispensing module (3) comprises a housing (11), a tank (13) within the housing for holding a liquid, an evaporator (15) in the tank for chilling the liquid, and at least one beverage conduit (21) positioned in the tank for exposure to the chilled liquid to cool beverage flowing through the conduit. A dispensing head (29) is connected to the beverage conduit for dispensing beverage. Refrigerant lines (31, 33) connect the compressor of the power module and the evaporators of the beverage cooling and dispensing modules. The power module is physically separate from the beverage cooling and dispensing modules so that the power module may be placed at a convenient location remote from the beverage cooling and dispensing modules.</p> |
