  • Publication number: 20150321896
    Abstract: A compact, inexpensive, and low-power-consumption beer server that controls beer temperature at nearly 0° C. and prevents the beer from freezing. The beer server includes a beer tank 12, a primary cooling tank 16, and a secondary cooling tank 18. Beer in the beer tank 12 is cooled to 2 to 5° C. in the primary cooling tank 16. Thereafter, the beer is cooled to 0° C. in the secondary cooling tank 18. A control unit 50 controls agitation fins 22 so that a beer temperature T1 at an outlet of the primary cooling tank 16 is a predetermined temperature of 2 to 5° C. The secondary cooling unit 18 is composed of two heat exchangers 30a and 30b. The control unit 50 controls refrigerant supplied to heat exchangers 30a and 30b so that a beer temperature T2 at an outlet of the secondary cooling tank 18 is a predetermined temperature of nearly 0° C.
