CARBONATED BEVERAGE DISPENSER WITH CONSTANT TEMPERATURE MIXING VALVE

摘要

A carbonated beverage dispenser includes a chiller (11) connected at an inlet to a water source and at an outlet to a cool water inlet (16) of a mixing valve (12). The water source further supplying ambient temperature water to a warm water inlet (18) of the mixing valve (12). The mixing valve (12) receives the two water streams and mixes them to produce a constant temperature output (19) water stream at an outlet. A carbonator (13) receives the constant temperature output water stream to carbonate it. A dispensing unit (14) including a cooling unit connects to a beverage syrup product source and the carbonator to cool the carbonated water and beverage syrup and dispense them into a suitable container, thereby forming a carbonated beverage drink. Additionally, an ice maker connects to the output of the mixing valve to receive the constant temperature output stream to make the ice dispensed with the carbonated beverage drink.
