| 摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus for heat treatment of milk, comprising a heat exchanger 1, where the milk is heated to the required high temperature by means of heated water from a water heater 3, and a holding vessel 2 in which the milk is kept during a predetermined period of time. The new feature resides in that a regenerative section (9) in the heat exchanger 1, which includes a heating section (6) and a regenerative section (9), has a space intended to be traversed by incoming, untreated milk, and a space intended to be traversed by heated milk coming from the heating section (6), so that incoming milk is preheated by outgoing milk, that the holding vessel (2) consists of a coil which, as seen in the flow direction, is arranged between the heating section (6) and the regenerative section and has a variable length adjusted to the intended flow and required holding time, and that the apparatus is adapted for immediate connection to a milking plant (M) so that the milk arrives in the apparatus at a substantially maintained milking temperature. <IMAGE> |
