연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The present invention recognizes the need for an apparatus and method for creating carbonated beverages having a customizable carbonation level. The invention uses a CPU to control an inlet valve which connects a tank of pressurized carbon dioxide to a vessel containing the beverage to be carbonized. The tube connecting the tank of pressurized carbon dioxide to the vessel contains an orifice for reducing the carbon dioxide's flow rate, thereby increasing control over the amount of carbon dioxide introduced to the vessel. A motor agitates the vessel, caus...

1. A method for forming a carbonated beverage, the method comprising: receiving a carbonation level selected by a user;receiving a vessel containing a fluid to be carbonated;using a CPU, a valve, and a transducer to introduce a predetermined level of pressurized carbon dioxide into the vessel, wherein the predetermined level of pressurized carbon dioxide flows through an inlet orifice to control the flow rate of the pressurized carbon dioxide introduced into the vessel;agitating, the vessel;using the CPU, the valve, and the transducer to maintain said predetermined level of pressurized carbon dioxide in the vessel while agitating the vessel; andafter the step of agitating the vessel is complete, releasing carbon dioxide through an outlet orifice in an outlet tube that is in communication with the vessel. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of agitating the vessel is performed for a predetermined tune corresponding to the carbonation level selected by the user. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a beverage size selected by a user. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of agitating the vessel is performed for a predetermined amount of time corresponding to the beverage size selected by the user. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of agitating the vessel is performed using a motor controlled by the CPU. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of agitating the vessel further comprises the step of using a motor to drive the vessel to a maximum upward position and then to a minimum downward position. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein a force of at least 3 Gs acts on the fluid in the vessel when the vessel changes directions. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising releasing carbon dioxide through an escape vent. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the orifice has a flow coefficient between 0.004 and 0.022. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the CPU has predetermined measurements from the transducer which correspond to different levels of carbonation of the liquid within the vessel, whereby the CPU sends a signal to close the valve based upon the predetermined measurements. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the selected level of carbonation is low, medium or high. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the selected level of low carbonation, the CPU, transducer and valve operate to maintain the pressure within the vessel between 10 to 40 PSI. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the selected level of low carbonation, the CPU, transducer and valve operate to maintain the pressure within the vessel to approximately 35 PSI. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the selected level of medium carbonation, the CPU, transducer and valve operate to maintain the pressure within the vessel between 55 to 80 PSI. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the selected level of medium carbonation, the CPU, transducer and valve operate to maintain the pressure within the vessel to approximately 75 PSI. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the selected level of high carbonation, the CPU, transducer and valve operate to maintain the pressure within the vessel between 60 to 90 PSI. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the selected level of high carbonation, the CPU, transducer and valve operate to maintain the pressure within the vessel to approximately 90 PSI. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the agitation mechanism provides between 3 Gs and 6 Gs of force on the vessel. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the agitation mechanism provides approximately 6 Gs of force on the vessel. 20. A method for forming a carbonated beverage in a batch comprising: providing, an agitation mechanism;providing, a vessel, and cap wherein one of said vessel and/or cap has an inlet flow line and an output flow line;introducing liquid beverage into the vessel;latching the vessel to said agitation mechanism,selecting a level of carbonation;opening a valve to initiate the flow of carbon dioxide into said vessel and agitating the liquid beverage in said vessel utilizing the agitation mechanism;utilizing an orifice to slow the rate of the flow of carbon dioxide;monitoring the pressure in the vessel;adjusting the inlet valve, to an open or closed position based upon the pressure in the vessel to obtain the selected level of carbonation of the liquid beverage; andstopping the flow of carbon dioxide into the vessel and agitation mechanism after obtaining the desired level of carbonation. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the orifice has an opening diameter of less than or equal to 0.05 inch. 22.
