V-Tex Compact, a compact refrigerator that cools a drink in 45 seconds

They call it the microwave of cold , because it is able to cool a drink in just 45 seconds . It's called V-Tex Compact and works through a technology called Rapid Cool who is able to solve in no time the problem of hot drinks. The original idea was born in United Kingdom , within a company called Enviro Cool , but this little appliance has seen the light thanks to the support of the European Union , an organization that has placed a whopping 903,000 euros investment. The goal? Getting the project to the importance it deserves and its development can come to fruition, also commercially. Its operation is based on the patented V-Tex, can cool the beverage agitating the liquid , but without generating bubbles within the container.Supports from cans of 150 ml up bottles with a capacity of 750 ml.

There is nothing worse than summer hot drinks. Get home and realize that we have to cool the drinks. In that case, there is only one possible solution: introduce cans and bottles in the freezer, with the usual carelessness danger that ends in dramatic explosion. If this system is applied in homes would win twice . And aside from getting a cold drink palatable and less than a minute, we would save energy. As explained makers of this invention, the system is able to reduce up to 80% energy consumption compared to other conventional refrigerators to 54% if we compare V-Tex Compact with refrigerators with glass doors. This is not, however, an advantage to apply at home, since refrigerators are an essential appliance in our homes. But yes it would be useful to reduce utility costs for those firms selling the beverage chilled or served daily.

Commercial deployment, though, still is in a very early stage. Far reaching European households, it is likely that the invention can land at first in shops and even bars or restaurants that usually serve drinks to its consumers. Thus, instead of storing bottles and cans in large refrigerators for long hours, these could cool in a timely manner and in a few seconds. Then be ready to serve without having previously spent a fortune on electricity.

The microwave of cold

At the moment we are working in two different modes. On the one hand, a high capacity model that can be useful for large establishments. The second issue would be portable and may be easily installed in homes , small shops, restaurants or offices, for cooling one or two drinks once. We will see later if the system can be incorporated into conventional refrigerators , and lately have been integrated home systems ice production. For now, we know that the company behind this addition is negotiating with several manufacturers of appliances. It seems, however, that the first to test the benefits of this new technology will be Dutch consumers, from next October .
