본 발명은 액체포장용기용 냉각장치에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 액체포장용기에 담겨진 물이나 음료 주류 등을 담겨진 그 상태로 냉각할 수 있도록 한 액체포장용기용 냉각장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a cooling apparatus for a liquid packaging container, and more particularly, to a cooling apparatus for a liquid packaging container capable of cooling in such a state that water or beverage liquor contained in the liquid packaging container is contained.
산업화 및 공해물질로 인하여 수질오염이 심각해짐에 따라 수돗물에 대한 불신이 높아지면서 정수기로 정화된 물을 식수로 사용하거나, 아니면 시중에서 판매되는 생수를 식수로 많이 사용하고 있다.As water pollution becomes serious due to industrialization and pollutants, the distrust of tap water increases, so water purified by water purifiers is used as drinking water or commercially available bottled water as drinking water.
정수기는 통상적으로 수돗물을 공급받아서 여러 개의 필터를 통과시켜 침전, 여과, 살균 등의 과정을 거쳐 수돗물에 함유된 중금속 및 기타 유해물질을 제거하여 정화하고, 정화된 물은 내부의 저장조에 저장되어 소정온도로 냉각하거나 가열하여 냉수 및 온수를 선택적으로 사용할 수 있도록 구성된다.Water purifier is usually supplied with tap water and passed through several filters to settle, filter, sterilize, remove heavy metals and other harmful substances contained in the tap water, and purify the purified water. It is configured to selectively use cold water and hot water by cooling or heating to a temperature.
그리고 용기에 담아 판매되는 생수는 냉각장치 및 가열장치를 갖는 냉온수기에 용기를 안착시켜 생수를 소정온도로 냉각하거나 가열하여 저장조에 저장하고 이 저장조의 냉수 또는 온수를 선택적으로 사용할 수 있도록 되어있다.And the bottled water sold in the container is placed in a cold water heater having a cooling device and a heating device to cool or heat the bottled water to a predetermined temperature and store it in a storage tank so that the cold water or hot water of the storage tank can be selectively used.
