  • Patent number: 8191867
    Abstract: A system and method for carbonizing a liquid, such as tap water with CO2, are disclosed. The liquid is carbonized inside a pump housing, thereby obviating the need for a separate high-pressure carbonator tank and a separate feed pump. The pump housing has an inlet for receiving in combination the liquid and CO2 at a first pressure, and an outlet for transporting the liquid carbonized with CO2 from the pump housing into an outlet line at a second pressure higher than the first pressure. A constriction is disposed in the outlet line for producing said higher pressure with the pump. The system and method can be employed in closed-loop carbonizing systems in the beverage industry.

  • Publication number: 20080248164
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filled or unfilled supply component for gases or fluids, which is not required in order to carbonate, preferably, an upstream and downstream carbonator and which is, preferably, used therefore, preferably in at least one booster pump which allows a carbonated liquid to flow through, and, can preferably be withdrawn over at least one dispensing location.

  • Publication number: 20070257378
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for increasing adsorption of gas into water which is gassed at least in a gassing chamber in the form of a gas/water mixture and after leaving the gassing chamber, is guided through at least one gassing device located downstream from the gassing chamber, in which the gas/water mixture is being thoroughly mixed. In a device of a gassing chamber (48) and at least one inline gassing device (26) for thoroughly mixing a gas/water mixture, gassed water is fed through the inline gassing device which is connected downstream to the gassing chamber (48) wherein the gas/water mixture is thoroughly mixed.
