A cooling system for dispensing beverages is provided having a tubular tub open at the top and bottom and adapted to receive a cold plate. The cold plate has cooling coils cast within it and is easily disassembled from the tub. The tub has a ledge near the bottom. The ledge features a groove for holding a gasket, and a channel for receiving threaded lugs. The cooling plate has bolt holes which correspond to the lugs. Bolts are inserted through the cooling plate and into the lugs. Tightening the bolts creates a watertight seal between the plate and the tub. The present cooling system is thus readily disassembled for ease of repair.

A cooling system for dispensing beverages comprising: (a) a tubular tub member, adapted for disassembly with a cooperating cooling-plate, open at the top and bottom and defining an inner wall, said tub member having a ledge portion extending from the inner wall of the tub member into the interior thereof about the entire periphery of the inner wall at a given distance from the bottom of the tub member, said ledge having a planar downwardly facing rabbet and a channel; (b) a flat cast metal cooling plate, adapted for disassembly from the tub member, having syrup and water cooling coils cast in said plate, said metal plate having a plurality of bolt receiving holes passing therethrough distributed about the periphery of the metal plate near the exterior edges of the metal plate; (c) a resilient gasket for positioning between the downwardly facing rabbet of said tub and the top of the plate to form a watertight seal between the plate and the tub; (d) said channel adapted to receive a plurality of threaded inserts, said inserts opening through the rabbet; (e) a plurality of bolts, each bolt inserted through a hole in said metal plate from the bottom of the plate to threadedly engage a threaded insert to compress the resilient gasket between the top surface of the metal plate and the rabbet to form a water tight seal therebetween, said bolts thereby adapted for disassembly of the plate from the tub member, whereby said tub member may be readily repeatedly filled with ice for maintaining said plate at a low uniform temperature while cooling cold beverages which pass through said coils and which may readily disassemble for ease of repair and cleaning.
