Abstract
A nozzle for beverage dispensing. The nozzle accepts both hot water lines and cold water lines at the nozzle, where the water may be carbonated or still. Cold carbonated water is received near the top of a double cone-shaped insert within the nozzle interior. The cold carbonated water is depressurized prior to being fully exposed to atmospheric pressure by passing the cold carbonated water down and around the double cone-shape of the insert. The depressurized cold carbonated water is collected via a funnel, and is dispensed from the nozzle after exiting the funnel bottom. Hot water is received in chamber within the nozzle separate from the passageway through which the cold carbonated water flows. Both hot and cold water streams are directed to flow in a tight and narrow downward direction via flow straighteners, and the streams are mixed with flavoring after dispensing from the nozzle.
