Abstract: A double tank refrigerated carbonated beverage dispensing apparatus for blending fresh water and carbon dioxide to produce a carbonated liquid delivered to a faucet bank for dispensing mixed soft drinks at a temperature at or below the freezing point of water, includes a double tank carbonator having in inner tank contained within an outer tank, insulated by a void between the two tank, the void having refrigeration coils connected to a refrigeration circulation system. The apparatus includes a soda water circulating system, a heat exchange unit for pre-cooling water and beverage syrup lines, syrup coils adapted to the double tank carbonator for chilling some beverage syrup lines, temperature sensors for regulating temperature of the carbonated water and fluid level probes to regulate the amount of water delivered to the double tank carbonator.

Abstract: The present invention is an integrated unit liquified gas fill station attached to a cryogenic storage tank and pump which provides for a controlled delivery of a programed weighted amount of a cryogenic liquified gas, primarily carbon dioxide, to empty transfer tanks at the time of initial filling or subsequent refilling, to prevent dangerous overfilling of the tanks resulting in over-pressure explosions of the transfer tanks, the liquified gas fill station providing a programmable tare scale upon which the transfer tank is positioned, a cryogenic liquified gas bypass circulating system and a cryogenic liquified gas delivery system wherein the station operator selects a weighed amount of liquified gas appropriate for the capacity of the transfer tank to be programmed into the station, delivering the measured amount of cryogenic liquified gas to the attached transfer tank resting on the tare scale, and filling the transfer tank with the precise measured and weighed amount of cryogenic liquified gas after whic
