Definitions
- the return fluid branch line can comprise a loop line which can extend from said first junction point to a second junction point on the main line between said junction point and the container of the apparatus.
- the line valve means can comprise a second two way valve disposed at the second junction point which can be adapted to open the main line and shut the return fluid branch line when fluid is to be dispensed from said apparatus, and to close the main line and open the return fluid branch line when fluid is to be returned to the container of said apparatus.
- FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of a multiple fluid line apparatus according to said another embodiment of the present invention.
- control circuit 7 controls the application of the two pressurization means 5 , 6 to the keg 2 and the line 3 such that when fluid is to be dispensed from the apparatus 1 it is forced towards the tap 4 , and when the line 3 is to be cleared of fluid, said fluid is forced towards the keg 2 , and in which fluid returning to the container is subjected to a filtering means 27 .
- the fluid line apparatus 1 also comprises gas line 9 which connects the cylinder 5 to the keg 2 .
- gas line 9 which connects the cylinder 5 to the keg 2 .
- a valve box 10 which carries a series of solenoid valves adapted to control the pressurization, de-pressurization and vacuum generation in the keg 2 .
- the valve box 10 contains the following valves: a three way flow restrictor control valve 11 , a restrictor valve 12 , a two way stop valve 13 , a three way gas exhaust valve 14 , and a two way vacuum pump isolation valve 15 .
- the flow restrictor control valve 11 is a three way valve which opens the gas line 9 and shuts passage to the restrictor valve 12 in a first position adopted in normal use. It shuts the gas line 9 and diverts the pressurized gas to the restrictor valve 12 , from where it is returned to the flow restrictor control valve 11 and back along the gas line 9 , in a second position adopted during a part of the line cleaning procedure.
- the restrictor valve 12 restricts flow of the pressurized gas from the gas cylinder 5 when the apparatus is re-pressurized, thereby preventing the keg 2 from re-pressurizing too fast which would agitate the beer therein.
- a user initiates the procedure by inputting a start command on the keypad 32 .
- This can be a single press of a button.
- the control circuit 7 then sends commands to the valve box 10 to switch the stop valve 13 and the gas exhaust valve 14 to their second positions.
- the pressurized gas supply to the keg 2 is cut off, and the section 9 a of the line 9 and the keg 2 are opened to atmosphere, via the gas exhaust restrictor valve 17 and the silencer 18 .
- the pressure in the keg 2 therefore drops at a slow rate which is low enough to prevent any beer in the keg 2 from frothing up, until the pressure in the keg is 0 PSI.
- Only gas exhaust valve 14 need be switched to perform this step, but the switching of stop valve 13 provides a failsafe to prevent the gas cylinder 5 being opened to atmosphere at any point.
- the fluid line apparatus 40 further comprises a second beer line 41 , which is connected to keg 42 , and the keg 42 is pressurized by gas cylinder 43 , via gas line 44 .
- the keg 42 contains a different beer to that in keg 2
- the gas cylinder 43 provides a lesser gas pressure to keg 42 than cylinder 5 does to keg 2 , because the particular beer in keg 42 requires a lower pressure.
- Identical components to those provided on the first line 3 are provided on the second line 41 , and are given the same reference numerals as above, but with an “a” suffix.
- the restrictor valves 12 and 12 a, and 17 and 17 a are arranged to restrict the particular pressures for each keg 2 or 42 as required.
- the apparatus 40 is also provided with a single valve box 50 , through which passes both the gas line 9 and gas line 44 . It also contains the valves 11 , 11 a, 12 , 12 a, 13 , 13 a, 14 , 14 a, 15 and 15 a, which are controlled by signals received from the control circuit 46 . As a result of aligning the two sets of valves in the valve box 50 , a single vacuum pump 51 can be used. Vacuum pump line 52 extends separately from both vacuum pump isolation valves 15 and 15 a, such that the vacuum pump 51 can be used in a line cleaning procedure on either line 3 or 41 , separately, or on both of them simultaneously.
- the first gas cylinder 105 is connected to the keg 102 by a gas line 119 .
- a valve box 120 which carries a series of solenoid valves adapted to control the pressurization, de-pressurization and re-pressurization of the keg 102 .
- the valve box 120 contains the following valves: a three way flow restrictor control valve 121 , a restrictor valve 122 , a two-way stop valve 123 and a two way gas exhaust valve 124 .
- the flow restrictor control valve 121 , the stop valve 123 and the gas exhaust valve 124 are all mounted on the gas line 119 , as it passes through the valve box 120 .
- Fluid sensor means are provided in the form of a fluid flow sensor 133 , a fluid presence optronic sensor 134 and a fluid conductivity sensor 135 .
- the fluid flow sensor 133 and the fluid presence optronic sensor 134 are housed inside the filtering unit module 112 .
- the fluid flow sensor 133 is disposed between the first junction point 115 and the line 103
- the fluid presence optronic sensor 134 is disposed between the second junction point 116 and the keg 102 .
- the fluid conductivity sensor 135 is mounted directly to the line 103 .
- Each of the sensors 133 , 134 and 135 are connected to the control circuit 107 by means of electronic circuitry, which is represented in FIG. 3 by lines 136 .
- the sensors 133 , 134 and 135 all provide data to the control circuit 107 in use.
- a drain line 142 is connected to the other end of the line 103 adjacent the keg 102 . It extends from the main line 113 inside the filtering unit module, to a drain 143 .
- a two-way drain valve 144 is disposed between the main line 113 and the drain line 142 , which opens the main line 113 and isolates the drain line 142 in a first position adopted in normal use, and shuts the main line 113 and opens the drain line 142 in a second position adopted during a line cleaning procedure. Again, these valves 138 and 144 are connected to the control circuit 107 by electronic circuitry.
- the control circuit 107 is an electronic circuit designed with known techniques to operate the apparatus 101 as described below. However, it is provided with at least a database 145 for storing information about the apparatus 101 . This information comprises the quantity of fluid which can be contained in the line 103 , and the electric resistance of the fluid which is supposed to be in the line 103 . This information can be programmed into the control circuit 107 , or the control circuit 107 can perform a test line drain in which information from the fluid sensor means is recorded for future reference. Data gathered during all further operations can be compared with the data from the test run, in order to identify if the incoming data is outside the parameters of the test run, whether this be an increase in the quantity of fluid passing down the line 103 or the type of fluid passing down the line 103 .
- the control circuit 107 is housed in a control box 146 , which is provided with an operation keypad 147 and an LCD display 148 , which provides information about the status of the apparatus 101 .
- FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the fluid line apparatus 101 , and is intended to show the various components in terms of their function and relationship to one another.
- the apparatus 101 can be laid out as is convenient on site.
- the gas cylinder 105 and the keg 102 are disposed in a cellar, and the line 103 leads up to the tap 104 at a bar, which could be one or more stories above the cellar.
- the control box 146 can be wall mounted adjacent the keg 102 , or it can be mounted at the bar, and the filtering unit module 112 can be mounted on top of the keg 102 by means of connector 150 .
- the valve box 120 can be disposed anywhere between the first cylinder 105 and the keg 102 as appropriate.
- the second gas cylinder 106 , the line end stop valve 131 , the cleaning fluid line 137 , the source of cleaning fluid 140 , the pump 141 and the cleaning line valve 138 can all be stowed under the bar.
- Several of the components require electrical power to operate, and it will be appreciated that they are appropriately connected to a power source. Suitable arrangements are known in the art and will not be further described here.
- the fluid line apparatus 101 operates like a known beer line.
- Valves 121 , 123 , 124 and 129 are open so the first gas cylinder 105 is connected straight through to the keg 102 by the gas line 119 .
- valves 109 , 111 , 131 , 138 and 144 are also open, so the line 103 is open from the keg 102 up to the tap 104 . Therefore, the first gas cylinder 105 pressurizes the keg 102 , and beer is forced from there up the line 103 to the tap 104 .
- beer is dispensed for consumption. If the keg 102 runs dry, it is disconnected from the first gas cylinder 105 and the line 103 and replaced. However, when a line draining procedure is performed the following sequence takes place.
- a user initiates the procedure by inputting a start command on the keypad 147 . This can be single press of a button.
- the control circuit 107 then sends commands to the valve box 120 to switch the stop valve 123 to assume its second position, thereby isolating the gas cylinder 105 from the keg 102 .
- the gas exhaust valve 124 is then switched to its second position, and the keg 102 , the main gas line 128 and the section 119 a of the gas line 119 are opened to atmosphere, via the restrictor valve 125 and the silencer 126 .
- the pressure in the keg 102 therefore drops at a slow rate which is low enough to prevent any beer in the keg 102 from frothing up, until the pressure in the keg is 0 PSI.
- only gas exhaust valve 124 need be switched to perform the above described step, however the stop valve 123 provides a failsafe to prevent the first gas cylinder 105 from being opened to atmosphere.
- the line 103 can be drained to allow it to be cleaned as described below.
- the line 103 can be drained of product in order to store it in the keg 102 and prevent it spoiling in the line 103 . If the line 103 has been drained in order to store the beer, the apparatus 101 is left as it was when the beer was being forced back into the keg 102 , in other words the line valves 109 and 11 are left in their second positions.
- the positive pressure of inert gas from the first gas cylinder 106 is left applied to the line 103 and to the keg 102 in order to keep the line 103 sterile and the keg 102 pressurized. However, if the line 103 is to be cleaned the following sequence takes place.
- the fluid in the line 103 is forced into the keg 102 .
- the fluid is diverted from the main line 113 onto the return fluid branch line 114 by the first line valve 109 .
- the beer passes over the filter 108 , and is then diverted into the keg 102 by the second line valve 111 . It will be appreciated that there is a drop in fluid pressure over the filter 108 , and therefore the pressure differential between the second gas cylinder 106 and the pressure in the keg 102 must be greater than this in order to force all the fluid back into the keg 102 .
- the control circuit 107 indicates when this pre-determined level has been reached on the LCD 148 . At the same time it commands the line valves 109 and 111 to switch to their first positions, and, with the tap 104 open, the beer rises up to the tap 104 at low pressure.
- the fluid flow sensor 133 sends data to the control circuit 107 on the quantity of fluid flowing into the line 103 , and when the control circuit 107 calculates that the line 103 is full, by referring to the data in the database 145 which defines the capacity of the line 103 , it then fully re-pressurises the keg 102 and the line 103 with the first gas cylinder 105 . When the line 103 is full beer will begin to be dispensed from it, and when this occurs the tap 104 is shut again.
- the apparatus 101 can perform a pre-use procedure to gather information required to perform any of the above described line draining procedures.
- the pre-use procedure occurs once the apparatus 101 has been fitted, and before normal use commences.
- the control circuit 107 pressurises the keg 102 in the manner described above, in order to arrange the apparatus 101 for normal use. By doing this the line 103 is filled with a quantity of beer which can be measured.
- the control circuit 107 then performs the steps of a line draining procedure as described above, however rather than receiving and comparing data from the sensors 133 , 134 and 135 , the control circuit 107 simply records the data, and stores it in the database 145 for later comparison.
- the beer does not return to the keg 102 because the line valves 109 and 111 are left in their first position, so the return fluid branch line 114 is closed off, and the one way valve 110 prevents any backflow to the container.
- the control circuit 107 can switch the line end stop valve 131 back to its first position and the user can open the tap 104 to alleviate the pressure in the line 103 .
- a single gas cylinder can be used instead of the first and second gas cylinders 105 and 106 in apparatus 101 .
- the single gas cylinder can be connected to both the container and the line end valve end of the line, and the pressure can be applied in different directions by the control circuit using valves.
