Systems for filling and dispensing free-flowing contents into and out of a container, the container comprising: a top and a bottom, a plurality of vertical walls extending between the bottom and the top, an ice portal disposed in the top, the ice portal having a removable cap for filling an ice chamber with ice, a removable container cap, a tube vertically disposed in the container cap, the tube extending between a beverage bag and a gate valve above the container cap, an air hose disposed in the container cap parallel with the tube, an air bag attached to a bottom end of the air hose, the air bag being adjacent to the beverage bag, such that a volume between the bags and an interior of the plurality of vertical walls is the ice chamber, and a beverage flow portal protruding longitudinally from a side of the gate valve.

The invention includes components and methodology for fixed and semi-fixed systems for extinguishing fire in large industrial flammable liquid storage tanks, including aerated foam projecting nozzles discharging substantially focused streams together with aeration chambers and risers.

Examples disclosed herein relate to conduits, devices, systems and methods, which may include a dispensing device including a valve configured to interact with an inlet stream, the inlet stream having a first pressure, the valve having an outlet area with an outlet stream, the outlet stream having a second pressure; and a solenoid configured to interact with the outlet stream.

Disclosed herein is a refrigerator capable of producing carbonated water and a control method thereof. The refrigerator includes a carbonated water tank to store carbonated water a carbon dioxide gas supply valve to open/close a carbon dioxide gas flow path to guide carbon dioxide gas from a carbon dioxide gas cylinder to the carbonated water tank, and a carbonated water tank pressure sensor to detect an internal pressure of the carbonated water tank.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to extracting the liquid from a container (such as a bottle of wine) using a needle adapted to pierce the closure of a container of liquid, dispense liquid from the container, and supply an inert gas to the container to help preserve the liquid.

A liquid dispensing device includes a liquid extraction system that extracts a liquid from a container. The liquid dispensing device includes an identification system that identifies a type of the liquid. The liquid dispensing device includes a liquid preservation system that prevents degradation of the liquid. The liquid may be wine or other liquids.

Disclosed is an automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer and a beer dispensing method by using the same. The automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer comprises a housing; a beer dispensing head installed on the housing and hermetically placed at a container mouth of a container; a carbon dioxide supplying device connecting with a gas inlet of the beer dispensing head through a pre-pressure gas valve, a beer barrel connected with a beer inlet of the beer dispensing head through a beer outlet valve, a flowmeter for measuring a beer flow of the beer barrel, and a processor connected with the pre-pressure gas valve, the beer outlet valve, the flowmeter, the gas exhaust valve and the barometer. The isobaric dispensing machine has a simple machine structure and is convenient to use, and is capable of reducing the time cost and the beer waste thus providing better beer quality.

A container whose content can be removed easily by a consumer. The container should be inexpensive to produce while being extremely easy to operate by the consumer, should provide a high degree of flexibility with respect to the choice of the propellant gas (pressure and type of gas) and should achieve a long storage life for the contents, even after the container has been tapped. The container comprises a fill chamber (40), a pressure chamber (6) and a pressure valve (10). The fill chamber (40) is formed by a container base (2), a container wall (7) and a container upper face (8), and a first pressure (p.sub.B) prevails in the fill chamber (40). The pressure chamber (6) is formed by the container base (2) and a pressure chamber base (5) and a second pressure (p.sub.D) prevails in the pressure chamber (6). The pressure valve (10) is connected to the container base (2) and the pressure chamber base (5). The pressure valve (10), when open, establishes fluid communication between the fill chamber (40) and the pressure chamber (6), and the pressure valve (10), is when closed, separates the fill chamber (40) and the pressure chamber (6) in a fluid-tight manner from one another.

A pressure regulating system for a beverage container system, comprising a first, compartment for containing a pressurized gas, in fluid communication with an outlet space through at least a gas valve for opening and closing a passage between the first compartment and the outlet space, wherein a gas valve control system is provided, comprising a deformable and/or movable wall or wall part of said outlet space, wherein said deformable and/or movable wall part is operably in contact with said gas valve for opening and/or closing said gas valve, wherein a second compartment is provided at a side of the said deformable and/or movable wall part opposite the outlet space, wherein the second compartment is in fluid communication with a third compartment, which third compartment comprises at least one separating wall part and is at least liquid tight.

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.
