Cooled beverage dispensing assembly, tap and method therefor
Beverage dispensing assembly, including a tapping column and a tap connected to the tapping column at a first end thereof, wherein the tapping column includes a first and a second channel, in fluid communication near the tap, and a beverage line extending through one of the first and second channels and connected to the tap, wherein the assembly includes a first part and a second part for connecting the tap to the column, the second part at least partly surrounding the first part, wherein the first part is made of a first material and the second part is made of a second material, the second material having a heat conductivity which is higher than the heat conductivity of the first material, wherein the beverage line is connected to the first part and the second part extends into and/or forms part of a wall of a chamber into which the first and second channel open, forming the fluid connection.
Cooled beverage dispensing systems and associated devices
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.
