1. An apparatus for thermal hydrolysis of organic matter comprising at least one heating element and at least one cooling element to respectively heat up or cool down the organic matter, wherein a hydrolysis reactor is provided, with the organic matter being brought to a desired hydrolysis temperature therein that is equal to or below 170° C., the heating element and cooling element comprise indirect heat exchangers, respectively, which exchange heat between the organic matter and a liquid medium, further comprising a pump to supply the medium in a circuit between the heating element and the cooling element, the hydrolysis reactor for the organic matter between the heating element and a throttle, the organic matter and the medium being separated relative to each other within each of the heat exchangers, wherein the hydrolysis reactor also is an indirect heat exchanger heating the organic matter to the desired hydrolysis temperature and wherein an additional cooling element is functionally provided between the hydrolysis reactor and the throttle, and the additional cooling element is thermally coupled to the circuit of the medium via a first additional branch. |
