Abstract
A beverage dispenser valve assembly for dispensing a beverage mixed from a pressurized citrus concentrate containing pulp and a diluent. The valve assembly includes a body having a concentrate passageway with a valving chamber having a flexible diaphragm therein for controlling concentrate flow therethrough. The diaphragm sealingly separates the concentrate valving chamber into an air pressure region and a concentrate region. A compressed air line is connected to the fluid pressure region through a solenoid controlled three-way, valve which valve can maintain pressure on the diaphragm to hold it closed or alternatively vent the pressure to atmosphere, allowing the diaphragm to open under the pressure of the concentrate.
