APPARATUS FOR COOLING AND PASTEURIZING OF MILK IN ANIMAL FARMS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: agricultural production and food-processing industry. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has reservoirs for pasteurized and unpasteurized milk, reservoir communicated with unpasteurized milk reservoir through recuperative heat-exchanger and adapted for receiving milk to be pasteurized. Apparatus is further provided with heat-exchanging reservoir, heat and cold accumulators, thermoelectric modules, pump units, and temperature sensors. Thermoelectric modules are attached with their one side to heat-exchanging plate and with their opposite sides to heat-coolant carrier channel. Heat and cold accumulators and heat-exchanging reservoir jacket are connected to said heat-coolant carrier channel. Milk channel is attached to other side of heat-exchanging plate and is connected to heat-exchanging reservoir, reservoir for milk supplied for pasteurization and through recuperative heat-exchanger to pasteurized milk reservoir. Apparatus is used for processing and storage of milk in small enterprises. EFFECT: enhanced reliability in operation, reduced power consumption, reduced metal usage and decreased operational costs. 1 dwg
