Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009083423A1] The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for cooling drinking water, at least comprising a water inlet (2) and a water outlet (3), a receptacle (4) for liquids, a drinking water pipe (5) through which the water that is to be cooled can be conducted, and a coolant pipe (6) through which a cooling liquid (7) can be conducted. The drinking water can be cooled using the cooling liquid (7) that flows within the coolant pipe (6). The receptacle (4) has a pump (8) which allows the cooling liquid (7) to be moved inside the coolant pipe (6). The invention is characterized in that the cooling liquid flows against the direction in which the drinking water flows. The invention allows drinking water to be quickly and effectively cooled while improving hygiene and handling possibilities.
