AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This new method described for making frostings without harmful chemicals or other substances has several benefits compared to previous methods like conventional cool air systems. It also allows for faster freezers while reducing their own costs associated with maintenance. Additionally, it provides better control over how much water vaporizes when compressed at high pressures than before, resulting in more efficient evaporation rates. Overall, this innovation makes producing consistently good quality products easier and less expensive due to its unique technical feature.

Problems solved by technology

This technical solution described in this patents relates to improving the efficiency of freeze dehydrations that involve cooling down materials like suspended solvents without causing them to solidify over when they fall onto horizontal plates due to gravity forces. However, traditional methods require large amounts of space and may result in waste and impurities being introduced into the final product.

Abstract

The invention provides a vacuum spray freeze-drying device and method. The vacuum spray freeze-drying device is characterized in that the device comprises a closed container used for containing materials in the vacuum spray freeze-drying process, atomizing nozzles, a vacuum system and a temperature regulating jacket; the atomizing nozzles are used for atomizing and dispersing liquid to be freeze-dried into liquid drops and spraying the liquid drops into the container; the vacuum system is used for forming a vacuum environment in the container in the vacuum spray-freezing pelletizing stage to enable part of components in the liquid drops to be vaporized so as to absorb heat, and then the liquid drops are cooled and frozen to form particles, and the vacuum system is also used for carrying out continuous vacuumizing in the drying stage so as to maintain the vacuum environment; the temperature regulating jacket is used for carrying out refrigeration in the vacuum spray-freezing pelletizing stage to prevent part of components in the particles from being molten, and the temperature regulating jacket is also used for providing sublimation heat for part of the components in the particles in the drying stage. In the fast freezing process of the materials, and no refrigerants are adopted to contact with the materials, so that the risk of material pollution is completely eliminated, and sterility of the freeze-drying process is guaranteed.
