The present invention provides a method for controlling a drinking-water supply device, the method comprising: a first step of connecting a guide pipe of a case separated from a cabinet to form a channel through which water moves from the case to the cabinet; a second step of supplying the cabinet with hot water heated by a second hot water module included in the case; and a third step of supplying the cabinet with water which has not passed through the second hot water module included in the case, wherein a first hot water module, included in the cabinet, for heating water is not driven in the second step and the third step.

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.

A post-mix beverage dispenser utilizing a beverage dispensing valve including a movable valve activation device is provided. The beverage dispensing valve can move the valve activation device to a predetermined activation position to dispense a fluid in response to a control signal.

The present application relates generally to a system which provides for cleaning of beverage supply lines and fittings. More particularly, the system provides for equalizing of flows and pressures between parallel beverage lines being cleaned.

A hydration system including a fluid reservoir, a fluid path in communication with the reservoir, and a magnetic quick connect interposed in the fluid path is disclosed. A fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed that includes a magnetic quick connect interposed in a fluid delivery path of the delivery system. The magnetic quick connect can also be used in a wide variety of fluid delivery systems. A kit for forming a fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed, as are various components of a hydration system.

Containers for use in a beverage system are provided. The containers include a container body defining an interior hollow chamber, and having an opening leading to the interior hollow chamber, and a cap covering the opening. The cap has an inlet port with an inlet valve seated therein and movable between a closed configuration for preventing passage of fluid there through, and an open configuration for allowing passage of fluid there through. The cap also has an outlet port having an outlet valve seated therein and movable between a closed configuration for preventing passage of fluid there through, and an open configuration for allowing passage of fluid there through. The cap has a collar positioned around the inlet port, the collar has an inner surface with at least a portion configured to circumferentially engage a seal having an outer diameter in a range of about 7 mm to 8 mm.

A beverage dispensing device has a housing with a beverage unit with a liquid inlet and a beverage outlet. The beverage unit has a receiving receptacle for receiving at least two ingredient containers containing a unit dose of an ingredient of the beverage to be dispensed. The beverage unit also has a liquid line in fluid communication with a base liquid source, with the contents of the ingredient containers, when correctly installed in the device, and with the beverage outlet. The liquid line is split into two side lines at a point A, downstream the liquid inlet. Both side lines join in fluid communication at a point B, downstream point A and upstream the beverage outlet, at least one of the ingredient containers in liquid communication with the liquid line at a point M1 downstream point A and upstream point B.

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.

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.

A novel beer dispenser, including a base, a main body and a cap; a receiving cavity is provided inside the main body. The receiving cavity accommodates a beer container. The main body is disposed on the base and has a bottom portion which communicates with the base. A base cup is provided inside the base. The base cup has a sealing flange on top. The base cup receives a bottom portion of the beer container. The main body has a top portion which is disposed with an air pump receiving cavity. An air pump is disposed inside the air pump receiving cavity. The cap is disposed at the top portion of the main body. The present invention is divided into three parts, namely the base, the main body and the cap. Such reasonable structure facilitates both assembly and cleaning.
