Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cold water tank includes a tank body, a cover part connected to the tank body to cover an open top of the tank body, and a cooling unit disposed in the tank body to cool water stored inside the tank body so as to make cold water. The cover part is configured to have an air layer formed therein, thereby minimizing or preventing the occurrence of condensation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A cold water tank, comprising: a tank body; a cover part connected to the tank body so as to cover an open top of the tank body and exposed externally of the tank body; and a cooling unit, including an evaporation tube, provided in the tank body and configured to cool water stored inside the tank body to form cold water, wherein the cover part is configured to have an air layer formed therein, thereby minimizing or preventing an occurrence of condensation, the cover part comprises a main cover member connected to the tank body to cover the open top of the tank body, a first supplementary cover member connected to a lower portion of the main cover member to form a first air layer between a lower surface of the main cover member and the first supplementary cover member, a second supplementary cover member connected to an upper portion of the main cover member to form a second air layer between an upper surface of the main cover member and the second supplementary cover member, and a heat-insulating member provided on an upper surface of the first supplementary cover member, and a communication hole is formed over the main cover member, the first supplementary cover member, the second supplementary cover member, and the heat-insulating member. 2. The cold water tank of claim 1 , wherein a remaining portion of the tank body, other than a portion connected to the cover part, is configured to be surrounded by the heat-insulating member to minimize or prevent the occurrence of condensation. 3. The cold water tank of claim 1 , wherein the cooling unit comprises the evaporation tube provided inside the tank body and is configured to have a refrigerant flow therethrough.
