Fluid chilling apparatus

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A beer or soft drink chiller which chills the liquid utilising the desorption of gas from an adsorbent within a vessel, wherein the chiller comprises a plurality of heat transfer elements, formed of thermally-conductive material and in direct thermalcontact with the adsorbent and adapted to transfer heat between the vessel wallsand the adsorbent therein and wherein the elements are configured so as to co-operate in use in order to conduct desorbed gas from the adsorbent to the vessel walls and thence along the vessel walls prior to its exit from the vessel. The chiller provides more effective heat transfer and fully utilises the chilling capacity of the desorbed gas by channelling it to and …
