We study in further detail a nontopological soliton model with coupling between quarks and mesons selected as promising in the previous work. Here we go beyond the Wigner-Seitz approximation by introducing the disorder necessary to reproduce the liquid state. We study nuclear matter, with particular interest in the transition to a quark-gluon plasma. The model studied is a variation of the chiral chromodielectric model of Fai, Perry and Wilets, where explicit coupling to a scalar meson field is introduced.
