Abstract (en)

A beverage cooling system has a tank (1) filled with refrigerant but with a head space retained for evaporation. Product coils (5) pass through the tank (1) such that they are cooled and refrigerant gas evaporates into the head space from where it is collected and condensed by a conventional refrigeration system (7,8). The condensed refrigerant is re-introduced into the tank (1) below the surface of the refrigerant already in there and such that turbulent mixing occurs. <IMAGE>
