ABSTRACT:
A superflow diffuser and spout assembly including an inlet for carbonated water, an inlet for syrup, a diffuser assembly through which the carbonated water passes prior to being dispensed, a spout, a syrup distributor, and a flow separator within the path of the carbonated water, the flow separator being operative to separate the carbonated water into at least two streams, one stream directed to flow along an outside surface of the spout, the second stream directed to flow inside the spout, the second stream colliding with and mixing with syrup distributed within the spout. The first stream of carbonated water and the second stream of carbonated water, then mixed with syrup, meet and form a single stream to be dispensed in a second embodiment, a syrup distributor has a plurality of inlets for different flavored syrups and a shroud located within the spout between the syrup distributor and an inner surface of the spout. The shroud may be adapted for use with the single syrup flavor embodiment of the present invention. A third embodiment includes an improved diffuser assembly and spout configuration. Also provided are additional diluent channels adapted to transport a portion of the diluent into the beverage concentrate stream; the beverage concentrate stream at this time being already mixed with diluent.
