Abstract

An arrangement for creating sparkling liquor includes a vertically extending first pipe portion, and a horizontally extending second pipe portion, where first end of the second pipe portion is connected to top end of the first pipe portion. A liquor inlet and a carbonic acid inlet are arranged at the bottom end of the first pipe portion, which is shaped to ensure liquor that is introduced will always completely fill its cross-section, thereby ensuring liquor introduced through the liquor inlet and carbonic acid introduced through the carbonic acid inlet flow up together through the first pipe portion to infuse carbonic acid into the liquor. A liquor outlet is arranged at second end of the second pipe portion, which is shaped to ensure that liquor flowing along it will not completely fill its cross-section, thereby allowing evacuation from the liquor of all carbonic acid in excess of the carbonic acid that is infused into the liquor.

Claims22

Dependent claims

An arrangement for creating sparkling liquor, the arrangement comprising:

a vertically extending first pipe portion comprising a bottom end and a top end;
a horizontally extending second pipe portion comprising a first end and a second end, where the first end of the second pipe portion is connected to the top end of the first pipe portion;
a liquor inlet and a carbonic acid inlet arranged at the bottom end of the first pipe portion, which by not being tilted more than its width is shaped to ensure that liquor that is introduced into the first pipe portion will always completely fill the cross-section of the first pipe portion, thereby ensuring that as liquor that is introduced into the first pipe portion through the liquor inlet and carbonic acid that is introduced into the first pipe portion through the carbonic acid inlet flow up together through the first pipe portion, carbonic acid is infused into the liquor;
and
a liquor outlet arranged at the second end of the second pipe portion, which by not being tilted more than the distance between a predetermined maximum liquor level in the second pipe portion and the top of the inside of the second pipe portion is shaped to ensure that liquor flowing along the second pipe portion, from the top end of the first pipe portion to the liquor outlet, will not completely fill the cross-section of the second pipe portion, thereby allowing all carbonic acid in excess of the carbonic acid that is infused into the liquor, at the temperature and pressure that is maintained inside the arrangement, to be evacuated from the liquor.

2 more elements

A method for creating sparkling liquor, the method comprising:

introducing liquor through a liquor inlet into a bottom end of a vertically extending first pipe portion of an arrangement, which vertically extending first pipe portion is not tilted more than its width;
introducing carbonic acid through a carbonic acid inlet into the bottom end of the vertically extending first pipe portion of the arrangement;
controlling the flow of liquor so that the liquor that is introduced into the first pipe portion through the liquor inlet completely fills the cross-section of the first pipe portion, thereby ensuring that as the liquor and the carbonic acid flow up together from the bottom end to a top end of the vertically extending first pipe portion, carbonic acid is infused into the liquor;
and
controlling the flow of liquor through a horizontally extending second pipe portion of the arrangement, which horizontally extending second pipe portion is not tilted more than the distance between a predetermined maximum liquor level in the second pipe portion and the top of the inside of the second pipe portion, so that liquor flowing from a first end connected to the top end of the first pipe portion to a liquor outlet at a second end of the second pipe portion, does not completely fill the cross-section of the second pipe portion, thereby allowing all carbonic acid in excess of the carbonic acid that is infused into the liquor, at the temperature and pressure that is maintained inside the arrangement, to be evacuated from the liquor.
