ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for preparing and dispensing a cool beverage utilizes a heat exchanger for directly contacting water and ice to produce cooled heat exchanger water in the heat exchanger from the water and ice and an outflow of the cooled heat exchanger water. A beverage concentrate flows through a beverage concentrate conduit that is in thermal contact with ice, preferably through direct contact with the cooled heat exchanger water. The beverage concentrate is thus cooled by indirectly contacting the ice to produce an outflow of cooled beverage concentrate. A proportioner and mixer receive the outflow of cooled heat exchanger water and the outflow of cooled beverage concentrate, and proportion and mix the outflows to produce a cool, proportioned, mixed beverage, which is dispensed from a dispensing valve. A carbonator is provided in heat exchange contact with ice, preferably through direct contact with the cooled heat exchanger water, for carbonating the outflow of cooled heat exchanger water to produce a carbonated beverage.
