Abstract: Generally there is provided an elastomeric diffuser membrane configured to overlie a planar base and to wrap around the edge. A plurality of lobe extensions of the membrane protrude under the base and are interconnected by a strap to secure the membrane to the base.
Abstract: An improved method and means for carbonating water includes an inexpensive pressure vessel that operates at low fluid pressures, and that is selectively vented of accumulated atmospheric gases to maintain high carbonating efficiency. Supplemental gasification of the dispensed liquid and selective cooling techniques used on the inlet water and on the carbonator promote high-level carbonation on low volume usage of pressurized carbon dioxide gas. Post-mix apparatus and method produce flavored soft drinks with only minimum additional equipment.
