PLANT FOR LAYERWISE FREEZING AND USING OF NATURAL ICE WHILE COOLING MILK Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F25C1/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: plant for layerwise freezing and using of natural ice while cooling milk comprises a thermally insulated reservoir, a level sensor, a control unit, a water pump and a motorized valve installed in the pipe connecting the water supply system with the thermally insulated reservoir, inside which there are two pairs of vertically spaced electrodes which are connected to the electronic comparison unit, and the lower part of the recessed-type ice storage is provided with the restrictive lattice not allowing to completely fill the entire volume of the ice storage with ice, the upper part has a neck with the self-regulating heating tape fixed thereon for sealing off ice layers from the neck walls, and for submerging the sealed-off ice layers there is a hydraulic distributor with a hydraulic cylinder mounted on a curved support; for fixing the submerged ice formations, there are four channel racks with plate clamps fixed thereon. The formation of water doses for layerwise freezing is carried out by means of the siphon tank-dispenser, the operating frequency of which is regulated by the consumption valve and the siphon length.

EFFECT: increasing the cooling efficiency.
