Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for thermally regulating and dispensing beverages are described herein. More particularly, in one aspect, jackets for thermally regulating a beverage container are described. Such a jacket can comprise an interior temperature control layer defining an interior space for receiving the beverage container, and an exterior fabric layer disposed over the interior temperature control layer. The interior temperature control layer comprises a first phase change material (PCM) having a first phase transition temperature corresponding to a desired service temperature of a beverage contained in the beverage container.
Claims27
A jacket for thermally regulating a beverage container, the jacket comprising:
- an interior temperature control layer defining an interior space for receiving the beverage container, wherein the interior temperature control layer comprises a first phase change material (PCM) having a first phase transition temperature corresponding to a desired service temperature of a beverage contained in the beverage container;
- and
- an exterior fabric layer disposed over the interior temperature control layer.
8-21. (canceled)
A beverage jockey comprising:
- a container having an inlet and an outlet;
- a conduit disposed in the container, the conduit connecting the inlet and the outlet;
- and
- a first phase change material (PCM) disposed in the container and in thermal contact with the conduit, the first PCM having a first phase transition temperature that corresponds to a desired service temperature of a beverage received at the inlet,
- wherein the first PCM is not ice.
