PASTEURISATION DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED HEAT PUMP AND METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61L2/04 C12H1/18 A23L3/04 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pasteurisation of containers filled with liquid. Proposed device comprises heating zone, pasteurisation zone and cooling zone. Note here that each zone may consist of one or several segments incorporating sprinkling devices. To reproduce heat, sprinkling liquid of one or several segments is collected into entrapping containers and fed to another segment, or to the same segment, for heating or cooling. Said device comprises also heat pump communicated with one or several segments of pasteurisation zone or one or several segments of cooling zone via pipelines and feed devices so that portion of heat power of cooling zone segment liquid volume may be forced by said pump to pasteurisation zone segment. Note also that sprinkling device suction side incorporates mixing device or section to mix liquid flow fed by said pump with liquids of the same segment, other segments and/or fresh water.

EFFECT: simple and efficient temperature adjustment.
