APPARATUS FOR THE COOLING OF A DRINKING LIQUID, IN PARTICULAR DRINKING WATER, WITH INNOVATIVE COOLING SYSTEM WITH PELTIER EFFECT

摘要

Apparatus (10) for cooling a drinking liquid, in particular drinking water (L) taken from the public supply system (RP), comprising an innovative cooling system (20), for cooling the drinking liquid, which optimises the physical phenomenon known as "Peltier effect", and optionally a system of gasification (30) for gasifying the drinking liquid (L), once cooled, wherein the cooling system (20) in turn comprises: a first cooling circuit (20'), in which an operating fluid (F) circulates, associated with a hot side (21a) of a Peltier cell; and a second cooling circuit (20"), in which the drinking liquid (L) circulates, associated with a cold side (21b) of the Peltier cell. The efficiency of the Peltier cell is improved with respect to the prior art, in order to cool a drinking liquid, and offers a cooling apparatus which is reliable, with low energy consumption and easy to install and use.
