Abstract:
A unit for the preparation of cold, purified and carbonated water. The unit comprises a connection for a water supply; an optional sterilisation unit, e.g. in the form of a unit comprising at least one water inlet and at least one hot water outlet for discharging purified water. Further, there is a cooling unit comprising at least one hot water inlet and at least one cold water outlet; a carbonation unit comprising at least one inlet for introducing carbon dioxide into the cold, purified water so as to prepare cold, purified and carbonated water; and a water outlet for the delivery of the cold, purified and carbonated water from the pre-module to a freezing unit of an ice-making unit.

Claim (Index 32):
The purified ice unit according to  claim 16 , wherein the purified water downstream of said sterilisation unit in case of heat sterilisation is used to at least partially preheat the water supply of the sterilisation unit, wherein this pre-heating is carried out in a counter flow direction, in that the water inlet supply tube of the sterilisation unit is surrounded by a larger diameter hollow body, in the form of a cocentrical cylindrical structure, in the inter space of which the purified water downstream of said sterilisation unit circulates counter to the flow in the supply tube prior to entering the cooling unit.
