Beverage Dispensing System
view source
US Patent:

49090470, Mar 20, 1990
Filed:

Feb 16, 1988
Appl. No.:

7/156346
Inventors:

Robert M. Koeneman - Oak Brook IL
Benjamin D. Miller - Chicago IL
Thaddeus M. Jablonski - Palatine IL
Assignee:

Remcor Products Company - Franklin Park IL
International Classification:

B67D 562
US Classification:

62389
Abstract:

A beverage dispensing system has a plurality of dispensing faucets, each of which is supplied with carbonated water (soda) and a selected flavor of syrup. The syrups and soda are chilled upstream of the faucets, and after chilling the soda is introduced into a manifold from which it is distributed to each faucet. In order that a warm beverage will not be dispensed from a faucet as a result of the soda becoming warm downstream from the point of chilling upon the system standing idle for a period of time, soda is withdrawn from the manifold either continuously or periodically to maintain the soda downstream from the chilling point in a cold state.

Air Sparge System For Icemaker And Ice Dispenser Combination And Method

US Patent:

47530812, Jun 28, 1988
Filed:

Jun 8, 1987
Appl. No.:

7/060044
Inventors:

Robert M. Koeneman - Oak Brook IL
Benjamin D. Miller - Chicago IL
Thaddeus M. Jablonski - Palatine IL
Assignee:

Remcor Products Company - Franklin Park IL
International Classification:

F25C 118
US Classification:

62 69
Abstract:

An icemaker and ice dispenser combination is characterized by an air sparge system for percolating air through water in the icemaker as the water is being frozen to ice in order to produce clear ice. The air is obtained from an ice storage hopper of the ice dispenser, and after percolation through the water in the icemaker, the air is returned to the hopper for recirculation between the hopper and icemaker. By virtue of the arrangement, the air is free of outside contaminants and may be used over and over again to maintain clear ice, and since the air is chilled by ice in the hopper, increases are obtained in the cooling cycle efficiency of the icemaker. The icemaker includes an improved air diffuser that uniformly percolates air through the water.

Control System For Icemaker And Ice Dispenser And Method

US Patent:

48038474, Feb 14, 1989
Filed:

May 9, 1988
Appl. No.:

7/193198
Inventors:

Robert M. Koeneman - Oak Brook IL
Benjamin D. Miller - Chicago IL
Thaddeus M. Jablonski - Palatine IL
Assignee:

Remcor Products Company - Franklin Park IL
International Classification:

F25C 518
US Classification:

62 68
Abstract:

A control system for an icemaker and ice dispenser operates the icemaker to periodically harvest ice for introduction into a hopper of the ice dispenser whenever the hopper is less than full. During and in response to initiation of each harvest cycle, and independent of the level of ice in the hopper, the ice in the hopper is briefly agitated twice, once shortly after harvesting begins and again toward completion of the harvest cycle, such that the second agitation and the cycle end at about the same time. A thermostat senses the level of ice in the hopper, and when ice reaches the level of the thermostat, the icemaker is turned off.
