Optimization of installations for electrothermal processing of milk

Relevance. Heat treatment of milk is carried out at different temperatures on equipment. When raw materials are cooled, the vital activity microorganisms that cause spoilage slows down and shelf life fresh increases. Heating intensifies many technological operations. Pasteurization dairy products designed to suppress in vegetative form. Sterilization ensures destruction not only vegetative, but also spore forms microorganisms, which significantly increases their life. Methods. On farms, it most advisable use low-inertia electric heating installations. Now there several basic constructive schemes such installlations. However, sources little information about technical economic optimization. The task this paper was find extremum objective function under given constraints. Results. restrictions take into account requirements inherent process heat milk. In order compare, calculations were performed for variants with final values cost units installation optimization sections electropasteurization exchanger recovery. above algorithm can be used without significant changes optimize installations direct or other types heating.
