COOLER OF HIGH-PRESSURE HOMOGENIZER

摘要

A cooler of a high-pressure homogenizer in which a feed material comprising either a suspension comprising a liquid containing a fine material or a semifluid, such as a food, seasoning, beverage, chemical, medicine, cosmetic, or any of various synthetic resins, is compressed at a high pressure and passed through an orifice at a high speed to conduct a dispersion, emulsification, crushing, or another treatment of the feed material or reduction of the size of a particulate ingredient. The cooler removes the heat generated at the orifice to properly maintain a fine gap in the orifice and ensures a long-term operation. A heat exchanger (7) comprising many passageway parts (8) which have been connectedly arranged and through which a refrigerant (6) can flow has been disposed in a cylinder case (3) in the shaft-length direction (X) over a desired length (L) so as to surround, as a center, the orifice as a heat source.
