Beverage Carbonation System Flow Control

A system comprising:

• a liquid source containing a liquid therein;
• a gas source containing a gas therein;
• a chamber configured to receive therein the liquid from the liquid source and the gas from the gas source, a treated fluid being configured to be produced in the chamber by mixing the liquid and the gas therein;
• an outlet having an open position configured to dispense the treated fluid therethrough;
• a vent operatively coupled to the chamber and configured to, prior to a start of the dispensing of the treated fluid, move from a closed position to an open position such that pressure vents from within the chamber, the vent being configured to remain in the open position when the dispensing of the treated fluid starts;
• and
• a processor configured to control opening of the outlet such that the treated fluid begins to flow out of the outlet during the venting of the pressure, the processor also being configured to control a force introduced into the chamber after the outlet has been opened such that the treated fluid continues to flow out of the outlet after the venting of the pressure from within the chamber has stopped.
