Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015179937A1] One describes an automatic beverage cooler and a method of cooling beverages, the cooler comprising: housing (1) with a peripheral wall forming a tank with a top access opening, the tank being at least partially filled with a cooling liquid; a support platform assembly for a plurality of beverage containers (100), the platform assembly being displaceable into and out of the tank; a displacement mechanism coupled to the platform assembly, capable of displacing it into and out of the tank; a cooling circuit for the cooling liquid; temperature detectors for detecting the temperature of beverage inside at least one container when the latter is immersed in the cooling liquid in the tank, and a control station that control the displacement mechanism and the cooling circuit, with a user's interface for input of a determined beverage-cooling temperature; wherein the control station receives information about the temperature of the beverage in the container, sent by the temperature detectors, and actuates the displacement mechanism to displace the platform assembly out of the housing (1) when the beverage temperature reaches the value of the determined cooling temperature.
