ABSTRACT:
An improved ice chest and cold plate apparatus for use in beverage dispensers. The ice chest and cold plate apparatus includes an ice storage container having an open top, a bottom, and four sidewalls. A cold plate heat exchanger is affixed to the outer surface of the bottom of the ice storage container with a thermally conductive adhesive. The cold plate includes a plurality of cooling circuits comprising tubular coils extending in a serpentine path and die-cast in aluminum to form an aluminum block. The improved ice chest and cold plate apparatus is simpler, less expensive and easier to manufacture than prior art ice chests with cold plates.
