DEVICE FOR REMOVAL OF MOISTURE IN VACUUM Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F26B9/06 F26B5/04 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: device for removal of moisture in vacuum includes an evaporator with an electric heater and a liquid trap, a steam line, a horizontal and a vertical condensers, a pipe-line, a condensate receiver and a pump; the condensate receiver is equipped with a pressure sensor; positioned in the upper part of the evaporator is an optocouple; the vertical condenser is connected to the condensate receiver via a vacuum valve and a piezo sensor; the pressure sensor and the piezo sensor are connected to the electric heater via the control unit while the optocouple is connected to the electric heater and to the vacuum valve via the control unit.

EFFECT: common device efficiency enhancement due to the steam line protection from foam penetration into it and control over heating activation/deactivation in the automatic mode.
