Abstract:
Device (10), comprising a platform (14) for placing a vessel (9) containing the liquid, a pipe (15) with an open end (151) configured for supplying steam to the vessel, a driving device (17) configured to actuate a relative movement between the end of the pipe and the platform, means (140) for determining a liquid level of the liquid in the vessel, and a control unit (18). The control unit is configured to actuate the driving device (17) so that a relative initial position between the end of the pipe and the platform is assumed on the basis of the liquid level. The means (140) for determining the liquid level comprise a weighing device. The control unit is then configured to determine the liquid level from the weight.
Abstract:
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided an improved fluid treatment system, including a low-pressure source, where the low-pressure source imparts a low pressure to at least part of the internal volume of the improved fluid treatment system, and at least one fluid inlet (5), and a primary chamber (2), wherein the primary chamber (2) contains at least one baffle (7) adapted to control the flowrate of fluid out of the primary chamber (2), and, a secondary chamber (3), wherein the secondary chamber (3) defines at least one inclined surface (4), and at least one fluid outlet (10), characterised in that, fluid entering from the fluid inlet (5) is pooled between the primary chamber (2) wall and the baffle (7) before flowing out of the primary chamber (2) past the baffle (7) to form a thin film laminar flow on at least part of the surface of the secondary chamber (3) to remove at least part of the gas entrained within the fluid.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of pretreating milk before the milk is to be microfiltered. The method includes the method steps that raw milk (1) is heated and separated into a cream fraction (5) and a skimmed milk fraction (4). A milk fraction (11) which constitutes at least the skimmed milk fraction (4) is caused, at a temperature of approx. 50-55°C, to stay for at least two minutes in an open vessel (12) before the milk fraction (11) is led further to the microfiltration.
Abstract:
A modular food dehydrator (380) utilizing a heater blower assembly located on a top surface of a dehydrator module is disclosed. The heater blower assembly includes a motor driven fan (358), a heating element and an air distribution portion for directing heated air across the support surfaces. The heater blower assembly (360) is preferably releasably attachable to the cover of the dehydrator module. In a preferred embodiment, the cover and the dehydrator module includes air ducts on an outer perimeter surface in fluid communication with the heater blower assembly for directing pressurized, heated air radially outward to the outer perimeter of the module and radially inward across the plurality of support surfaces. The dehydrator module includes a central opening extending generally vertically through the support surfaces in fluid communication with a space between each of the support surfaces for exhausting or recirculating heated air. The heater blower assembly is housed within the cover to provide a more compact unit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for carrying out at least one measurement and for removing milk samples from a milking machine, through which milk can flow and which comprises an air separation device, a measurement device, a sample removal device and a channel that is open to the top. According to the invention, the air separation device is designed to separate the milk from air with which the milk is mixed. The measurement device is arranged downstream of the air separation device. It is connected to the air separation device by a first milk outlet opening of the air separation device and designed to carry out one or more measurements with the milk flowing through the device. The sample removal device is designed to supply milk to a sample container. The channel open to the top is arranged upstream of the measurement device and is designed to receive at least a part of the milk which was separated from the air with which said milk was mixed in the air separation device and to direct said milk so that it flows at least partially to the sample removal device.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Luftabscheider für einen Milchsammelwagen. Um im Luftabscheidebehälter (1) das Milchniveau in einem zur Vermeidung von Turbulenzen durch die einlaufende Milch optimalen Niveaubereich oberhalb des Einlaufs zu halten, und um gegebenenfalls eine in der Saugleitung (7) angeordnete Pumpe vor dem Kavitieren bei voller Förderleistung zu schützen, ist vorgesehen, daß eine Pumpe (9) mit steuerbarer Förderleistung in der Saugleitung oder der zu einem Sammeltank führenden Förderleitung (8a,b) angeordnet ist, die über eine Regeleinrichtung (6) in Abhängigkeit vom Milchniveau im Luftabscheidebehälter (1) gesteuert wird. Für die Zusammenfassung ist die einzige Figur bestimmt.
