Abstract: A system and method for independently verifying a bank note processor's handling of circulating bank notes. Independent detectors are provided along the transport path of a bank note processing device. Also provided is at least one independent memory storage device for logging data from the independent detectors. As the note passes along the transport path, the independent detectors evaluate the note's fitness. The independent detector data is subsequently provided to the central bank or commercial organization for auditing of the bank note processor and for generating bank note statistics. Independent detectors may also be used on the transport path output bins to corroborate the other detectors and to verify the integrity of the sorting logic. Mirrored independent detectors allow for corroborating independent data. The invention is operable on any bank note processing device that performs at least a subset of a fitness determination on each note.

La conduite de fluide réfrigérant définit une zone froide (12), typiquement au centre du bloc, le volume à l'extérieur de la zone centrale supportant la conduite de boisson définissant une zone de refroidissement désignée (14) de la boisson. Le rapport volumique de la zone désignée à la zone froide est d'environ 150:100. L'échangeur de chaleur permet un refroidissement de la bière à des températures précises et même à des températures proches du point de congélation, à l'aide de procédés de réfrigération directs au fréon détendu. Le système entier, comprenant l'équipement de réfrigération, peut être stocké dans une petite zone, de manière à être placé sous des bars et des comptoirs, etc., ce qui évite des installations importantes et les coûts associés et l'entretien de celles-ci. Dans une variante, une zone de refroidissement de boisson supplémentaire peut être située à l'intérieur de la zone froide. Les positions des conduites de fluide réfrigérant et de boisson peuvent également être inversées dans certaines applications.
