Abstract
A cooling system for beverage dispense has a circuitin which binary ice is circulated. A modular heat exchange unitfor a plurality of beverage linesis connected to the circuitfor cooling beverage prior to dispense from a dispense tapin a serving area such as a bar. The ice fraction in the binary ice provides a thermal store that can absorb heat without increasing the temperature of the binary ice and enables the system to respond quickly to changes in the cooling requirements in the circuit
