Compressed oxygen and carbon dioxide admixed to and impregnating water under pressure

摘要

In a drinks manufacturing process, compressed oxygen is released and admixed to water under pressure and dissolving at least 75 mg/l to impregnate the drink for therapeutic purposes. Prior to oxygenation, all gas is removed from the drink. The drink is chilled to less than 18C. pref. 7C. Compressed oxygen is released at a pressure of pref. 1 to 7 bar, mixed with compressed CO2 in a ratio of between 2% oxygen to 98% carbon dioxide and 50% to 50%, pref. 25 to 75% by volume. The gas mixture is held in a buffer tank at up to 10 bar, from which it is surrendered to and mixed with the drink. Also claimed is a suitable assembly with a compressed oxygen tank (32), liquid/gas mixer (30) and buffer tank (32). The oxygen uptake is pref. more than 300 mg/l. With a suitable dosing unit, the process and assembly are also suitable for preparation of syrup drink.
