Abstract
A beverage cooler () includes a heat pump () having a cooling element thermally coupled to a negative-heat-energy accumulator (). The accumulator () includes a heat-energy dispersion arrangement () formed from thermally conductive material which is in thermal contact with a quantity of phase-change material () having a phase-change temperature above zero Celsius. A conduit () for the beverage defines a circuitous path thermally coupled to accumulator (). The heat pump () draws heat energy predominantly from the phase-change material () so as to ensure that a temperature of the phase-change material is reduced by at least as much as the temperature of the beverage within conduit (), even under zero-flow conditions. This ensures that the accumulator () can be fully charged during periods of low beverage dispensing demand without risk of freezing the beverage within conduit ().
