MILK COOLING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A01J9/04 F25D1/00 F25D3/00 

FIELD: agricultural engineering.

SUBSTANCE: milk cooling apparatus has refrigerating apparatus with tubular evaporator placed within liquid heat-carrier filling heat-insulated casing, wherein milk reservoir is positioned in spaced apart relation to casing wall. Blade mixers are vertically located within casing and milk reservoir. At least two-tier mixer for liquid heat-carrier is offset relative to axis of oval-shaped casing and localized within concentric baffle combined with additional evaporator having congruent profile, whose entrance part adjoins milk reservoir at minimal gap and whose outlet positioned between milk reservoir and casing defines ejector. Baffle overlaps gap between loop-type evaporators whose pipes are equally spaced from one another. Electric contact commutator fixed at a distance from evaporator pipe is connected to control unit of refrigerating apparatus, said distance corresponding to predetermined thickness of frozen-on ice layer.

EFFECT: increased milk cooling rate and reduced power consumption.
