ABSTRACT:
A refrigeration plant having an associated but detachable receptacle for receiving chilled liquid. The refrigeration plant and receptacle are connected by manually detachable hoses to complete a recirculation system for the chilled liquid. The receptacle is insulated and portable. Beverage cans or other containers can be placed and chilled in the receptacle, and transported to another location. When additional containers are placed in the receptacle to replace those removed for consumption, the receptacle is reconnected to the refrigeration plant. The chilled liquid, which also chills the containers, is then renewed. An aqueous solution including a freeze point depressant, or plain water, is suitable for the chilled liquid. The refrigeration plant preferably includes a strainer and a flow control valve. The receptacle is preferably insulated and open at the top, and also may have a cover. The receptacle may also be provided with dividers to define compartments for segregating, for example, fully chilled and still warm containers. Food containers may thus be chilled and served remotely from the refrigeration plant. Alternatively, the receptacle may be stationary but remote, for example, being formed permanently in a bar, with the refrigeration plant located out of sight. In another alternative embodiment, the receptacle may be enclosed, in the manner of a residential refrigerator. The refrigeration plant, if of sufficient capacity, can serve a plurality of receptacles, renewing chilling medium of one receptacle while others are in use.
