A food processor includes: a main body; and a container that forms a food-containing space for containing food items and is detachably mounted to the main body, wherein the main body comprises a cold energy generator for transmitting cold energy to the container by coming into contact with at least part of the container, with the container mounted on the main body.

This invention relates to an article that evenly cools a liquid in a container such as, for example, milk in an infant bottle, in a relatively short amount of time, without diluting the liquid. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

An airtight device includes a container and an airtight cover on the container, and the airtight cover includes a fixing bracket, a door, and a pressuring handle. The fixing bracket has a through hole and a guiding slot, and the through hole communicates with internal space of the container. The guiding slot has adjacent first and second top surfaces, and the second top surface is higher than the first top surface. The door selectively covers the through hole. The pressuring handle pivoted on the door has a first section, a second section, and a rotating axis between the first and second sections, and the first section rotates relative to the second section. The second section receives a force to drive the first section to move from below the second top surface to below the first top surface such that the rotating axis pressures the door.

The temperature adjustment device for adjusting the temperature of wine stored in the concrete wine tank includes a circulation pipe, a circulation liquid circulating inside the circulation pipe, and a temperature adjuster for adjusting the temperature of the circulation liquid, wherein the circulation pipe has an inlet port and an outlet port provided on the concrete surface, and a main pipe portion embedded in the concrete wall.

An apparatus (1) for cooling containers, in particular vials, comprising at least one first cooling zone (200) for receiving containers, with a cooling zone base and a cooling zone wall (201), and a cooling device (300) for cooling air, and a first duct (113) for conducting the cooled air from the cooling device (300) into the cooling zone (200), wherein an outlet of the first duct (113) is spaced apart from the cooling zone base.

A water cooling apparatus and a water purifier having a water cooling apparatus is provided. The water cooling apparatus may include a case, a water tank provided within the case, a cooling block provided to be in contact with the water tank and to cool the water tank through heat exchange, a thermoelectric element having one side in contact with the cooling block and provided so as to transfer heat from the one side to another side of the thermoelectric element when power is applied thereto, an insulator provided within the case and that covers the water tank and the cooling block, and a heat dissipation block provided outside of the case and provided to be in contact with the other side of the thermoelectric element to dissipate heat from the other side of the thermoelectric element.

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a temperature-regulating containment system for actively heating and/or cooling a liquid to a desired liquid temperature, and methods of making and using such a temperature-regulating containment system, whereby the temperature-regulating containment system comprises: (i) a container having an internal cavity defined by a sidewall upwardly extending from a bottom wall, the internal cavity configured to contain liquid which has a liquid temperature; (ii) a temperature regulator operatively coupled to the internal cavity, the temperature regulator configured to regulate the temperature of the internal cavity and the liquid therein; (iii) a pressurizable chamber disposed between the internal cavity and the temperature regulator; and (iv) a pressure regulator operatively coupled to the chamber, the pressure regulator configured to regulate the pressure of the chamber.
