Abstract
A water dispenser includes a baffle which interferes with a downward flow of drinking water in a cold water tank which is fed from a raw water container through a raw water supply line, whereby cold water lower in temperature than drinking water above the baffle is generated below the baffle, and discharged. A recess is formed in the bottom surface of the baffle such that air trapped in the recess acts as a heat insulator between the baffle and the cold water. The baffle extends along the inner wall of the cold water tank with a gap defined therebetween, and includes a flange extending downwardly over the entire circumference thereof.
Claims4
A water dispenser comprising a cold water tank in which drinking water fed from a raw water container through a raw water supply line is cooled, and a baffle configured to interfere with a downward flow of the drinking water fed into the cold water tank, and
- wherein the baffle is configured such that cold water lower in temperature than drinking water in the cold water tank above the baffle is generated in the cold water tank below the baffle, and discharged, and
- wherein a recess is formed in a bottom surface of the baffle such that air is trapped in the recess and such that the air trapped in the recess acts as a heat insulator between the baffle and the cold water.
