Abstract
A product dispenser including a divider having at least one inlet zone recharge aperture disposed above an inlet zone of a cold plate, and at least one outlet zone recharge aperture disposed above an outlet zone of the cold plate, allows increased amounts of ice stored above the divider to be directed onto the inlet zone to compensate for an increased temperature of the inlet zone. The inlet zone recharge aperture is of a greater area than the outlet zone recharge aperture, or in the case of multiple apertures, the areas of like zone recharge apertures are combined to ensure that increased ice flow is delivered to the inlet zone. A method for distributing increased ice flow to the inlet zone to deliver chilled fluids within consumption specifications is also provided.
