Patent ID: 10107548

Abstract:
A heat transfer device is presented and more particularly a beverage cooling assembly comprising: one or more container holders with each having a first and a second wall with a chamber therebetween, the chamber having an inlet and an outlet and otherwise sealed, through which a circulating fluid is pumped from a reservoir, such as an ice chest; a reservoir adapter attached to the drain outlet of the ice chest and to a supply line, or a pump that is attached to the supply line that is attached to the inlet of the one or more containers, the first wall and a second wall forming a double-walled cylinder with a pocket for a beverage container. The circulating fluid is returned from the outlet of one or more container holders through a return line to the reservoir adapter and then connected to a long line placed through the reservoir adapter and then through the drain outlet of the ice chest, returning the circulating fluid to the reservoir away from the drain outlet. The first wall forms an inner cylindrical wall that is adjacent to the beverage container and is formed of a material having a low thermal resistance. The second wall forms an outer wall of the chamber surrounding the first wall is made is made of a material having a high thermal resistance and may be surrounded by an insulation layer. Distribution guides may be placed in the chamber to more effectively distribute the circulating fluid for effective heat transfer.
