Abstract
A beverage dispenser of the cold plate type as shown wherein the cold plate is oriented within a housing of a dispenser such that the fluid lines extending through the cold plate extend in a pattern for preventing ice bridging occurring at the back end of the device. The cold plate also includes stainless steel wire coils within each water line along an end portion thereof for turbulating the water as it passes there through to provide for enhanced heat exchange between the fluid and the cold plate and the fluid line end portion.
