Water dispensing station

This is a sophisticated drink dispenser that offers alkaline, chilled, hot, and carbonated water from a single tap. It uses an ice-bank system to chill water efficiently, where a pump stirs the water around the ice to improve cooling, and a smart controller manages the ice-making process. The claims specifically describe the ice-bank chilling system with an agitator and temperature-based ice growth detection.

Why it matters: The growing emphasis on appliance energy efficiency and the decreasing cost of integrated control systems make the ice-bank's complex management more practical for a multi-function dispenser.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRefrigeration, heating, carbonation, complex control
