Systems and devices for cooling and dispensing a beverage fluid are disclosed herein. One beverage dispensing system includes a beverage tower comprising a tower body, a shank, and a faucet. In some implementations, a coolant line is routed proximal to a beverage supply line through the tower body, through the shank, and into the faucet. In these and other implementations, the faucet includes a removable nozzle having a supplemental portion of the coolant line. In these and still other implementations, the faucet include a removable nozzle having a second coolant line. The coolant line and the second coolant line are configured to transport a coolant medium proximal to a beverage fluid in the beverage supply line to maintain or adjust the temperature of the beverage fluid. Many other features are described herein.

An automatic detection system is provided for detecting disruptions in the flow of liquid from a liquid container or containers to a dispensing apparatus. Two embodiments of the system are disclosed. In the first embodiment, a single liquid container is utilized. In the second embodiment, two liquid containers are utilized. In both embodiments, an optical sensor is employed to detect a disruption in the flow of liquid from the liquid containers to the dispensing apparatus.

An adapter, a system, and a method of capturing liquid from a feed line of a liquid delivery system, the liquid delivery system including liquid container, a delivery tap, a gas source, a liquid delivery line from the liquid container to the tap, the liquid delivery line containing liquid, and a gas line from the gas source to the liquid container, the gas line containing gas; by disconnecting the gas line and the liquid delivery line from the liquid container, and flowably connecting the gas line to the liquid delivery line, using an adapter, and pushing the liquid in the liquid delivery line out through the tap.

A system and method for dispensing fluids is introduced. A preferred embodiment comprises a sealed tank, a bag containing fluid inside the sealed tank, an outlet for dispensing the liquid in the bag, and a pressure generating device to create pressure in the sealed tank.

A valve comprises a body having a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet. A shuttle is shiftable between: a first position permitting communication between the first inlet and the outlet and blocking communication between the second inlet and the outlet; and a second position permitting communication between the second inlet and the outlet and blocking communication between the first inlet and the outlet. One or more permanent magnets are positioned to bias the shuttle away from a neutral position between the first position and the second position, wherein the valve further comprises: one or more electromagnets positioned to, in at least one condition of energization, counter said bias.

An apparatus for preventing the formation of beer stones and a gas-induced phenomenon, in which foamy beer spurts out of a draught beer container, is disposed in a pipe between the draught beer container and a draught beer dispensing apparatus so as to prevent the gas-induced phenomenon from occurring when the beer is discharged from the draught beer container to the draught beer dispensing apparatus, and to remove and prevent the formation of beer stones deposited on the inner surface of the pipe, between the draught beer container and the draught beer dispensing apparatus, or on the inner surface of the draught beer dispensing apparatus.

A water dispenser system designed to provide enhanced functionality while maintaining the traditional form of conventional dispensers. The system is designed to cool and heat water and to integrate multiple water bottles of varying sizes and water levels. It is designed to operate consistently regardless of whether all water bottle connections are actively in use. The system can autonomously withdraw water from connected bottles, detect depletion in bottles, and switch to consuming available bottles with minimal user intervention. Water level regulation is maintained using float switches in the water tanks. The system supports simultaneous water withdrawal from multiple bottles, reducing the frequency of replacement. Water may be dispensed at hot, cold, or room temperature through corresponding outlet valves. The system does not require structural or plumbing modifications and preserves the external design of standard water dispensers while introducing smart, multi-bottle management.
