Problems solved by technology

Such deposits and crusts in the radial channels can occur during or after the heating phase when the milk is heated vigorously and lead to a narrowing of the radial channels and thus to a reduction in the heating power or efficiency of the heater unit
Removing deposits and encrustations in narrow radial channels is cumbersome and time-consuming

Embodiment Construction

[0024] exist Figure 1-3The heater unit according to the invention shown in , comprises a reaction block 4 made of plastic, in particular PEEK, PSU or PEI, which essentially has the shape of a cylinder with a central longitudinal axis A. An inner steam channel 1 , an outer annular channel 2 coaxially surrounding the inner steam channel 1 , and an outlet channel 3 arranged coaxially to the steam channel 1 are formed in the reaction block 4 . The steam channel 1 has an upstream end 1 a which is formed by an end-side opening 4 a in the reaction block 4 . Furthermore, the inner steam channel 1 has a downstream end 1 b which opens into an outlet channel 3 extending coaxially on the steam channel 1 in the direction of flow. The outlet channel 3 ends at an end-side opening 4 b in the reaction block 4 . In this case, the diameter of the outlet channel 3 is larger than the diameter of the steam channel 1 , for example twice as large. The outer annular channel 2 is arranged coaxially...

Abstract

The invention discloses a heater unit of a device for heating and / or frothing milk and a corresponding device and method, wherein steam or a steam-air mixture is introduced into the milk as heat carrier, wherein the heater unit has an internal steam channel (1) and the outer annular channel (2) for milk coaxially surrounding it, wherein hot steam or a steam-air mixture is supplied at the upstream end (1a) of the steam channel (1) and Milk is supplied at the upstream end (2a) of the channel (2). In order to improve the heating power and energy efficiency of the heater unit and to reduce maintenance costs, the steam channel (1) and the annular channel (2) are separated from each other and lead to the In the discharge channel (3) for heated and / or frothed milk.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention discloses a heater unit of a device for heating and / or frothing milk as well as a device and a method for heating and / or frothing milk with such a heater unit. Background technique [0002] Such a heater unit can be employed, for example, in a beverage vending machine, such as a coffee vending machine with a device for heating and frothing milk for the production of coffee drinks, milk drinks and milk froth drinks of milk. Heated and frothed milk can be used in coffee vending machines to prepare eg milk drinks or milk mixed drinks such as cocoa, milk coffee or cappuccino. [0003] Devices for heating and frothing milk are known from the prior art, which are equipped with a Venturi system, as described, for example, in EP 0 234 236 B1 and EP 0 344 859 B1. In these devices hot steam is used as heat medium and spray medium for heating and transporting milk. However, devices equipped with a Venturi system have a low heating output ...
