Disclosed is a beverage dispensing cooler. The beverage dispensing cooler includes a first lid, a second lid, a body, an axle, a handle and multiple hoses. The body includes a chamber, a panel, a base valve, a wall drain, a primary hose, a flow control unit, a power unit and a dispenser gun. The chamber includes multiple cylinders, multiple pressure compartments and a basin configured to collect water from condensation and melted ice. The axle further includes multiple wheels, a rod and multiple bearings connected to the rod and to the multiple wheels. The handle is configured to facilitate engagement of the beverage dispensing cooler with a hand of a user.

A Cornelius keg refrigerated storage, transport, and contents dispensing device holds the keg in the interior of a container equipped with provision for transporting the container, cooling the keg using refrigerated contact along the effective height of the keg, insulating the keg to maintain temperature, and storing the equipment for dispensing the keg contents.

An invention for rapid chilling or heating of both carbonated and non-carbonated fluids is disclosed. The invention is a fluid dispensing device that can rapidly cool or heat carbonated or non-carbonated liquid from room temperature to a desired temperature. The electric on-demand device allows pour-through and pump-through fluid dispensing and temperature control.

A liquid dispensing device includes a needle. The needle is adapted to penetrate a container without tearing out a portion of the container. The portion of the container is near a point of penetration on the container. The liquid dispensing device includes a motion control system. The motion control system is configured to rotate the needle while the needle penetrates the container.

Systems and methods for dispensing chilled wine using a dispensing appliance. The appliance generally comprises a housing or enclosure protecting internal components and providing a chilled chamber for wine storage and an unchilled chamber for electric and other components. An airtight wine “silo” containing a packaged wine is insertable into a cradle in the chilled chamber for attaching to a fluid connector system. The user operates a handle to control wine flow. Identifiers on the silo may be read and transmitted to a server, where learning algorithms can suggest alternative wines the user may like based on user feedback about prior wines used with the appliance.

A refrigerated consumable-liquid dispenser. A consumable-liquid container is carried in a covered refrigerated housing that includes a heat exchanger for maintaining consumable-liquid at a predetermined temperature which may be pre-selected depending on the type of consumable-liquid being carried. A dispensing tube provides a conduit for the consumable-liquid. To dispense the consumable-liquid, a pressure differential is produced in response to the user command, whereby the pressure on the liquid in the container is greater than the pressure at a dispensing port. User command may be achieved without physical contact with the consumable-liquid dispenser, for sanitary and health related considerations.

A method for controlling a hot water supply apparatus, the method including: a first step of receiving a hot water exhalent signal; a second step of determining whether a cup is a first cup or a recurring cup; and a third step of, when the cup is the first cup, providing hot water to a user by using a first cup providing algorithm, and when the cup is the recurring cup, providing hot water to the user by using a recurring cup providing algorithm, wherein in the third step, the amount of water supplied to a heating module for heating water is adjusted in stages.

This invention is a refrigeration, dispensing, and management system for beverage and beverage containers that includes a tap attached to an upper door and a supply line; a recess base in a recess of a housing; a slide slidably carried by the recess base having a slot; a pressurized gas cylinder connected to the housing and attached to a gas line in fluid communications with the supply line wherein the gas cylinder contains gas selected from the group consisting of O.sub.2, CO.sub.2, N.sub.2 or other inert gas; and, a cap placed on the beverage container so that when the tap is opened, pressurized gas enters the cap and the snorkel through an inlet defined in the cap, forces gas into the beverage container, and forces the beverage out of the outline defined in the cap, through the supply line and out of the tap.

A liquid dispenser may include a container or tank having an upper opening and in which water is stored, a pump provided in the container, a water supply pipe through which water discharged from the pump is transferred, a water supply plate having an upper surface over which water flows, a container support or base provided below the container, and a thermoelectric element provided in the container support to cool the bottom plate of the container.

A cold water production apparatus and method are provided. A cold water production apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention can comprise: an apparatus body; a water tank which is provided in the apparatus body and which accommodates water flowing in from a water supply source; a cold water production pipe which is provided in the apparatus body so as to be connected to the water tank, and which allows the water accommodated in the water tank to flow thereto, move therein and then be discharged; and a cooling unit which is mounted on the outer surface of the apparatus body, and which cools the apparatus body so that the water accommodated in the water tank and the water flowing in the cold water production pipe is cooled.
