Abstract
A thermoelectrically cooled beverage dispensing machine of the commercial type such as used in restaurants, movie theaters and the like featuring compact construction is disclosed. The cooling system employs a plurality of heat exchanger fins or plates which define a void space therein in which a fan motor is disposed, thus saving either substantial height, width or depth in the housing containing the cooling system. The air circulation fan motor of the cooling system is also used as the prime mover for a magnetic drive disc which, in turn, operates a magnetically driven liquid impeller located within a beverage container for agitating the beverage to create a pleasing dynamic fluid display which is also a space saving feature in thermoelectrically cooled beverage display systems. A multi-bowl thermoelectrically cooled beverage dispensing machine having these same advantageous features is also disclosed.
