Abstract:
According to one or exemplary embodiments, there is provided a Gas Infusion Module that is a compact, inexpensive, adjustable, and easy to clean apparatus for infusing a beverage, such as coffee or tea, with a gas. The Gas Infusion Module controls the mixing of the gas with a liquid beverage in a homogenization element. To achieve an enhanced homogenization of gas and liquid, first the Gas Infusion Module regulates the pressure of gas that will enter the homogenization element and mix with the liquid. Additionally, the liquid and gas mixture passes through an outlet check valve which forces greater homogenization of the aerated fluid before it is dispensed for consumption.

Claim (Index 16):
A gas infusion module for mixing a liquid and a gas to create an aerated beverage, the gas infusion module comprising:\n a gas inlet assembly including a pressure regulator, the gas inlet assembly allowing the gas to flow into the gas infusion module and the pressure regulator controlling an input pressure of the gas; a homogenization element comprising:\n a chamber to receive the liquid and the gas, the liquid and the gas mixing to create the aerated beverage; \n a liquid inlet for allowing the liquid to flow into the chamber; \n a gas input valve for allowing the gas to flow from the gas inlet assembly into the chamber, the gas input valve located in a flow path of the liquid entering the chamber, the gas mixing with the liquid as the liquid flows over the gas input valve creating the aerated beverage; \n a liquid check valve located between the liquid inlet and the chamber, the liquid check valve preventing backflow of the gas into the liquid inlet; \n an outlet port through which the aerated beverage exits the chamber; and \n an outlet check valve located between the outlet port and the chamber, the outlet check valve preventing backflow of the aerated beverage into the chamber.
