DEVICE FOR TREATING A LIQUID, PREFERABLY MILK, COMPRISING A STEAM-CONDUCTING IMMERSION TUBE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for treating a liquid, comprising a steam-conducting immersion tube (1) which is provided with a temperature sensor (9) for the liquid which is to be treated. Said temperature sensor (9) is integrated into a support element (10) which is mounted in the outer wall (6) of the immersion tube and is in direct contact with the fluid. The steam is fed to the liquid by a steam pipe (3) arranged inside the immersion tube. An intermediate chamber (7) is provided between said steam pipe and the outer wall (6) of the immersion tube, said intermediate chamber thermally isolating the temperature sensor (9) from the steam flow flowing through the gas supply channel (12) of the steam pipe.
