Drink-dispensing device, control system, and drink-dispensing method

A liquid-dispensing device forming a table comprising:

• a body (10);
• a plate (17), the plate (17) being removably mounted on a top of the body (10);
• three casks (11) disposed in the body (10), each cask containing a liquid to be dispensed, each cask comprising a shell inside which a pouch made of a flexible material and containing the liquid is positioned;
• a plurality of liquid-dispensing taps (15), each of the liquid-dispensing taps (15) being connected to a corresponding one of the three liquid-dispensing taps (15), each of the liquid-dispensing taps (15) being located above the plate (17);
• a draft circuit (24) for each cask (11), each draft circuit (24) connecting one of the casks (11) and the corresponding one of the three liquid-dispensing taps (15);
• and
• a cooling system (12) for cooling each draft circuit, the cooling system (12) being disposed between each cask (11) the corresponding one of the three liquid-dispensing taps (15), the cooling system (12) further comprising an evaporator having i) a first arcuate evaporator element extending vertically in the body (10) with a concave surface of the first arcuate evaporator element located adjacent a first one of the casks (11), ii) a second arcuate evaporator element extending vertically in the body (10) with a concave surface of the second arcuate evaporator element located adjacent a second one of the casks (11), and iii) a third arcuate evaporator element extending vertically in the body (10) with a concave surface of the third arcuate evaporator element located adjacent a third one of the casks (11), wherein a convex surface of the first arcuate evaporator element is adjacent a convex surface of the second arcuate evaporator element and adjacent a convex surface of the third arcuate evaporator element, a convex surface of the second arcuate evaporator element is adjacent a convex surface of the first arcuate evaporator element and adjacent a convex surface of the third arcuate evaporator element, and a convex surface of the third arcuate evaporator element is adjacent a convex surface of the first arcuate evaporator element and adjacent a convex surface of the second arcuate evaporator,
• a pressurized draft system (13) connected to the cases for drawing the liquid from each cask (11), said draft system (13) comprising, for each cask (11), a solenoid valve (25) positioned in each draft circuit (24) between the one cask and the corresponding one tap, the solenoid valve (25) controlling an exit of the liquid from the one cask;
• a management system (14) operatively connected to each solenoid valve (25), the management system (14) for managing the device and adapted to control the dispensing of liquids by opening or closing each solenoid valve (25), said management system (14) being connected, via a connection, to a database (37);
• and
• a control unit (16) situated on the plate and operatively connected to the management system (14) for interacting with the management system (14) adapted to interface with the function controlling the dispensing of liquids, the control unit comprising a screen.
