Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2417061A] A method of cleaning a beverage line (13) of a beverage dispense font, the font being of a type comprising condensation means (6) in thermal contact with the housing (4) through which, in use, a first cooling medium can flow, and further comprising a cooling loop (5) in thermal contact with the beverage line (3) through which, in use, a second cooling medium e.g water can flow. The method comprises the steps of: ```passing the first cooling medium through the condensation means to form condensation, frosting or ice on an exterior of the housing; ```at the same time passing the second cooling medium through the cooling line; ```at the same time passing a cleaning medium through the beverage line; ```whereby heat transfer between the cleaning medium and the first cooling medium is moderated by heat transfer between the second cooling medium and the cleaning medium. The condensation means (6) comprises a condensation plate (50) having pipework (88) thermally connected to a secondary cooling circuit comprising a cooler (90) for cooling a glycol cooling medium. The beverage font further comprises an illumination source mounted within the housing (4) for illuminating a panel or panels of the beverage font.
