Mobile refrigerated bar unit

A mobile refrigeration unit for dispensing beverage products from beverage storage means, the mobile refrigeration unit including

• a container for the storage of the beverage storage means containing the beverage products;
• dispensing lines for connecting the beverage storage means to beverage dispensing means located on the outside of the container from which the beverage products are dispensed in use;
• a temperature conditioning means for maintaining a pre-set ambient temperature inside the container, the temperature conditioning means being a split system including a compressor and a condenser mounted on the outside of the container and an evaporator blower mounted on the inside of the container, wherein the evaporator is in communication with a thermostat for maintaining the temperature inside the container at a selected temperature;
• and
• a secondary temperature control mechanism for controlling the temperature of the beverage products in the dispensing lines prior to being dispensed from the dispensing means, the secondary temperature control mechanism being a split system including a compressor and a condenser mounted on the outside of the container and a chilling unit located on the inside of the container, wherein the chilling unit includes a water tank and a cooling coil mounted inside the water tank, the chilling unit being in communication with a thermostat for monitoring and controlling the temperature of water inside the water tank,
• wherein the dispensing lines include refrigeration coils located within the cooling coil in the water tank such that the beverage products are cooled when flowing through the refrigeration coils before reaching the dispensing means;
• and
• a pressure system for controlling the water level in the water tank, the pressure system including a storage tank located inside the refrigerated container and at least one pressure operated pump configured to pump water from the water tank to the storage tank and alternatively from the storage tank to the water tank, as required, thereby allowing cold water to be stored in the storage tank during transportation of the mobile refrigeration unit and to be available for immediate use after transportation.
