A method and apparatus for brewing of the liquid distribution from the different locations on the use of large liquid containers

摘要

The object of the invention is a method and equipment for measuring the amounts of beverages in protective bags (12) in large tanks (11) in various retail sales points or points of use in the distribution area of a brewery and for transmitting them to a centralized location (13) and for monitoring the condition of the refrigeration machinery (20) at each point of use. In the method the quantities of beverages are checked at regular intervals and refilling is ordered for each tank when it empties beyond a set limit. At each point of use cooling takes place by means of the aforesaid refrigeration machinery (20), which cools both the tank (11) and the malted beverage extracted for serving. At each point of use, the quantity of beverage in each tank (11) is measured at regular intervals, as is at least one operating temperature (19.1, 19.2, 19.3) of the refrigeration system, and data concerning the measured amount of beverage and temperature is transmitted to the central unit (17, 18) of the point of use, which, in a manner that is as such known, transmits the data through a remote data link to the aforesaid centralized location (13). With the aid of the quantity data received, the distribution of beers is planned in a manner that is as such known, while with the aid of the temperature data, the condition of the refrigeration machinery (20) is monitored, when it is possible to examine the refrigeration machinery (20) at a point of use that has stated temperatures deviating from the normal.
