Embodiment Construction

[0040] Figure 1a and 1b An example of a tube heat exchanger 100 is shown, more specifically the Tetra Spiraflo sold by Tetra Pak TM . As shown, some number of tubes are connected to each other via elbows 102 providing a compact design. In the example shown, the inner tube 104 is held in groups, with each group configured within a larger tube referred to as an outer shell 106 . The food is fed through the inner tube, and the heat transfer medium is fed through the outer shell. In order to keep energy consumption low it is advantageous to use food delivery as heat transfer medium which is to be cooled down before storage. Such systems are often referred to as regenerative systems.

[0041] figure 2 An example of a cross-sectional view of the interface between the elbow 102 and the inner tube 104 is shown. The inner tubes 104 of each set may be connected to a tube rack 200 . The tube holder 200 helps to keep the inner tube 104 in place and keeps the heat transfer medium ...

Abstract

A tube holding element (702) provided with at least one through hole and having a first side and a second side. The tube holding element (702) is arranged to be attached to a tube (704) via said second side. The through hole has a diameter D1 corresponding to an inner diameter of said tube (704).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a tube support element, such as used in tube heat exchangers for processing liquid food products. Background technique [0002] Today, within the food processing industry, it is well known to heat treat food to ensure that pathogenic microorganisms are killed. It is common practice today to utilize heat exchangers for this purpose. There are different types of heat exchangers available such as plate heat exchangers, tube heat exchangers, scraped surface heat exchangers and coil heat exchangers. In general, different types of heat exchangers are suitable for different products. For example, plate heat exchangers can be used for heat treatment of milk, but not for fibrous products such as orange juice. Tube heat exchangers, on the other hand, can handle products with fibres, and are therefore often chosen by customers who require a flexible part of the device that can handle both products with and without fib...
