  • Patent number: 8641018
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an associated device for intermittently enriching and dispersing drinking water with gases, particularly CO2 and/or O2, wherein the water is supplied to a mixing device (5) by means of a miniature pump (3), particularly an electromagnetic oscillating piston pump with a low supply volume and the greater throughput volume required for the tap process is realized by the gas flowing into the mixing device (5).

  • Publication number: 20080010999
    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling food, in particular water-based beverages, includes a cold accumulator (6) that contains a phase transition material. A conduit (8) for a water-based liquid that is to be chilled is guided through the cold accumulator (6). Also provided is a device (2) for dissipating heat from the cold accumulator (6). In order to make such an apparatus less expensive, easier to produce, and more effective, the cold accumulator (6) is made from a composite material containing expanded graphite and a phase transition material that undergoes a solid-liquid phase transition at or above 273 K.
