Abstract: A beverage cooling system includes a main assembly having a refrigeration module, a pumping and control module, and a beverage cooling module. The refrigeration module has a refrigeration system cooling a cooling medium. The beverage cooling module has a cooling tank cooled by the refrigeration system. The pumping and control module has a pump to pump a beverage ingredient cooled by the refrigeration system. Each of the refrigeration module, the pumping and control module, and beverage cooling module are independently removable from and connectable to the remainder of the main assembly.

Abstract: A beverage dispenser comprises a cooling device comprising a cooling chamber (6) filled with a cooling liquid, such as water. Located within the chamber (6) is a refrigeration component (8). Extending through the chamber is a conduit (10), by which beverage is fed from a supply towards a dispensing head (30), the conduit including to a heat exchanging coil (12) within the chamber. Located in the chamber at a position so as to be totally immersed by cooling liquid is a pump unit comprising a motor (16a) and an impeller (16b), the motor also driving an agitator (18) to cause liquid within the chamber (6) to be circulated to the refrigeration component (8) and the cooling coils (12).
