Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A household appliance ( 2 ) comprising a dispensing system ( 20 ) for dispensing a beverage and a compartment ( 4 ) which in use of the household appliance ( 2 ) is kept cold. A wall portion ( 22 ) has a wall thickness extending from the compartment ( 4 ) to the ambient environment. A temperature gradient is formed over the wall thickness. The dispensing system ( 20 ) comprises an outlet ( 12 ) and a first liquid path ( 26 ) and a second liquid path ( 28 ) for conducting the beverage to the outlet ( 12 ). The first liquid path ( 26 ) comprises a first conduit section ( 32 ) and the second liquid path ( 28 ) comprises the second conduit section ( 34 ). The first conduit section ( 32 ) and the second conduit section ( 34 ) are arranged within the at least one wall portion ( 22 ) at different positions along the temperature gradient formed in the at least one wall portion ( 22 ). Beverage at different temperatures may thus be provided from the dispensing system.
