Abstract: Method, device and nozzle for serving a carbonated beverage. In particular, the invention encompasses the dissolution of a concentrated syrup on a cold-water stream in a mixing ring and at a desired syrup/water ratio, the subsequent carbonation of the dissolution in a carbonation ring at a desired gas/liquid ratio, and the serving of the carbonated beverage through a specially designed serving nozzle that reduces foaming during the serving by means of a first membrane C for separating undissolved C02 bubbles from the liquid, by subsequently reducing the pressure of the liquid through a second membrane E, and by ejecting the beverage in a conical diverging stream.

Abstract: A dissolution device comprising a tubular body comprising an inlet, an outlet and a side duct, said tubular body further comprising a first chamber fluidly connected to the side duct, and a second chamber fluidly connected to said first chamber through a chamber junction conduit; and a central body comprising an inlet portion and an outlet portion, said central body being located within the tubular body and attached to said tubular body; wherein the tubular body and the central body define a passage therebetween through which fluid can flow, wherein the first chamber is further fluidly connected to the passage through a first inner conduit and to an exterior of the tubular body through the side duct, and the second chamber is fluidly connected to the passage through a second inner conduit, and wherein the dissolution device comprises two gas dissolution zones. A dissolution system comprising said the dissolution device and a stabilizer tank fluidly connected to the dissolution device.

Abstract: A mixing ring (1) for dissolving a portion of solute in a portion of solvent. The mixing ring (1) includes a solvent input path (2) and a solute input path (3) fluidly associated to a mixing path (4). The solvent input path (2) is configured to receive a portion of solvent and the solute input path (3) is configured to receive a portion of solute. The mixing ring (1) is structurally configured to lead the portion of solvent and the portion of solute to the mixing path (4), and the mixing ring (1) further includes a diffuser (5) mostly placed in an internal area of the mixing path (4). The diffuser (5) is configured to lead the portion of solvent towards the portion of solute. A system and method for dissolving a portion of solute in a portion of solvent is also provided.

Abstract: Carbonation duct (1) for blending a gas and a beverage. The carbonation duct (1) includes a tubular structure (12) surrounding a compression structure (13), the compression structure (13) longitudinally positioned inside the tubular structure (12) and setting a pathway (14) for the flowing of the beverage along the carbonation duct (1). The compression structure (13) includes external diameters (P,C,G) sequentially defining a convergence path (8), a mixture path (19) and a slowdown path (20) along the carbonation duct (1), wherein, in the convergence path (8), the carbonation duct (1) includes a gas entry portion (9) for gas injection in the pathway (14), and the tubular structure (12) defines a turbilionating projection (10) establishing a carbonation duct (1) mixture diameter (F).
