In-line carbonation system

An inline carbonation system comprising:

• a water source configured to supply a stream of uncarbonated water;
• an injector assembly configured to supply a stream of gas, the injector assembly including
• a gas source,
• a control valve in fluid communication with and downstream of the gas source, and
• an orifice in fluid communication with and downstream of the control valve;
• a mixing point in fluid communication with and downstream of the water source and the injector assembly, the stream of water mixing with the stream of gas at the mixing point to produce a fluid mixture;
• a first pump in fluid communication with and downstream of the mixing point to produce carbonated water from the fluid mixture;
• and
• a dispensing valve in fluid communication with and downstream of the first pump to dispense the carbonated water.

An inline carbonation system comprising:

• a water source;
• a first pump in fluid communication with the water source and configured to draw a stream of water from the water source;
• a gas source configured to supply a stream of gas;
• a mixing point in fluid communication with and downstream of the first pump and the gas source, the stream of water mixing with the stream of gas at the mixing point to produce a fluid mixture;
• a second pump in fluid communication with the mixing point to produce carbonated water from the fluid mixture;
• and
• a dispensing valve in fluid communication with the second pump to dispense the carbonated water.
