Abstract
A machine dispenses chilled alcoholic beverage using a thermoelectric cooling unit positioned within a machine enclosure formed by a housing having side and top walls. A manifold receives beverage, which flows through a cooling channel extending from the manifold to a beverage faucet positioned on the outer surface of the housing. The cooling channel has walls defining the channel. A thermoelectric cooling device extends along a portion of the channel walls and has a cold junction surface proximal to the beverage which cools the beverage in conjunction with a hot junction surface spaced from the cold junction surface and distal to the beverage. A heat sink extends from the hot junction surface for dissipating heat from the hot junction surface.
