Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0202053A2] A dispenser for beer or the like comprising a container filled with a beverage having carbon dioxide in solution to between about 5/8 to 3/4 of its volume, the head space above the beverage being filled with a gas under pressure. When liquid is dispensed from the container the loss of CO2 dissolved in the liquid is less than that in dispensers known hitherto because the pressure in the head space remains relatively high and consequently less CO2 comes out of solution with the liquid. Hence a dispenser having a substantial head space significantly increases the ability to dispense relatively large volumes without requiring any significant restoration time.
