SENSOR SYSTEM TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE AND AGITATION OF MILK COOLING TANK

摘要

A device and a method for measuring the temperature and agitating conditions for a milk chilling apparatus are provided to determine whether milk is agitated by using temperature difference measured by a temperature sensor adhering to the milk chilling apparatus. A device for measuring the temperature and agitating conditions for a milk chilling apparatus comprises a plurality of temperature sensors(10,11). The device determines whether milk is agitated or not by using temperature difference measured by the temperature sensors. The device contains a controller. The controller inputs measured signals from the temperature sensors, measures the temperature of the milk and calculates the temperature difference measured by the temperature sensors adhering to different locations. The device considers that the milk is agitated if the calculated temperature difference is less than a reference value. The temperature sensors are installed at some distance from each other.
