Chiller for cooling a beverage

This invention describes a beverage chiller that uses a special cooling method. It has a tank filled with a fluid that freezes, like water. Inside this tank is a coil that circulates a coolant, and this coil has small extensions, like fins or rods, that help build up a bank of ice around it. A separate coil for the beverage then passes through this ice bank, cooling the drink as it flows.

Why it matters: The filing predates significant advancements in compact, energy-efficient refrigeration controls. Cheaper, smarter electronic circuitry could now optimize ice bank formation and beverage cooling more effectively.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateRefrigeration system, custom evaporator coil, tank.
