REFRIGERATION APPARATUS FOR COOLING PRESSURIZED BEVERAGES
The present invention relates to an improved refrigeration apparatus including a cold storage compartment, accessible from the outside, and provided internally with a sealed container adapted to accommodate a flexible and compressible receptacle holding a beverage. The refrigeration apparatus is provided with pneumatic or air-compression means to generate a selectively controllable pneumatic pressure inside the container, but outside the flexible receptacle. The sealed container is capable of being opened from the outside by means of a closure applied on a face thereof. Whenever a need arises for beverage to be drawn off the receptacle, a pressure increase is triggered inside the sealed container, and said pressure increase will act upon the walls of the internal receptacle so that the latter is caused to collapse and reduce its volume, thereby causing the beverage to be ejected therefrom and, therefore, drawn off.
