DEVICE AND KEG FOR DISPENSATION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES EQUIPPED WITH A COOLER SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B67D1/08 F25B21/02 

FIELD: food industry, equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention deals with the cooler system of a device for dispensation of alcoholic beverages contained in the keg the device is equipped with. The keg is connected to the beverage dispensation device penetrating through the upper section inside the keg and intended to enable dispensation of beverage withdrawn from the keg bottom part. The keg containing beverage is mounted on a cooling plate that is chilled by way of heat removal performed by the thermoelectric element attached to it. The keg cooler system first and second temperature sensors installed in the keg bottom and top parts accordingly provide for measurement of temperature of the beverage head bottom (Sensor 1) and top (Sensor 2) layers. Based on the information contained in the signals retrieved from the first and the second temperature sensors the cooler system controller actuates the thermoelectric element providing for removal of thermal energy from the keg bottom part to chill the keg and maintain its temperature at the level preset. Beverage contained in an aluminium keg is chilled uniformly; if the keg is fabricated of steel, stainless steel or copper the cooling process is accompanied by thermal stratification of the beverage contained. The invention's technical effect consists in design of an alcoholic beverage dispensation device meeting the user's requirements.
