Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sterilizers, in particular to a UHT material sterilizer. Background Art
[0002] When liquid products such as fruit and vegetable purees, fruit juices, concentrated juices, milk, fruit juice beverages or similar products are subjected to aseptic filling production, the materials need to be subjected to ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization (UHT) before filling. The ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilizer is abbreviated as UHT sterilizer. In the material pipeline of the UHT sterilizer, from the inlet to the outlet, there are successively included a material balance tank, a material pump, a preheating section, a sterilization section, a heat recovery section and a cooling section. The material output end of the cooling section is connected to the material balance tank through a return pipe. During the material transportation process, the material is initially heat-exchanged and heated up in the preheating section, and then heat-exchanged and heated up again in the sterilization section to reach the sterilization temperature. Then, the high-temperature material is heat-exchanged and preliminarily cooled in the heat recovery section to recover heat, and finally heat-exchanged and cooled down to room temperature in the cooling section and then flows back to the material balance tank.
[0003] In the initial stage of the system startup of the existing sterilizer, the sterilization section is in the heating stage, and the material enters the heat recovery section for heat exchange before reaching the required sterilization temperature, which makes the heat recovery section perform ineffective heat exchange operations and reduces the heat recovery efficiency. In addition, after the material is heated up in the sterilization section, the high-temperature material directly enters the heat recovery section for cooling. The high-temperature sterilization reaction time of the material is short, resulting in slow sterilization efficiency. Therefore, usually the material needs to be subjected to multiple cycles of heating and sterilization before it can meet the specified sterilization requirements. However, after the material goes through multiple cycles of heating and cooling, the flavor of the product cannot be maintained. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a sterilizer that improves the heat recovery efficiency and reduces the influence of the material sterilization process on the product flavor.
[0005] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions. A UHT material sterilizer includes a balance tank, a material pump, a preheating section heat exchanger, a sterilization section heat exchanger, a heat recovery section heat exchanger, a cooling section heat exchanger and a return pipe section that are sequentially connected through material ports. The material output end of the sterilization section heat exchanger is connected with a first reversing valve. The first output end of the first reversing valve is communicated with the material input end of the heat recovery section heat exchanger, and the second output end of the first reversing valve is communicated with the material input end of the cooling section heat exchanger. The material output end of the heat recovery section heat exchanger is also communicated with the material input end of the cooling section heat exchanger. The material output end of the cooling section heat exchanger is communicated with one end of the return pipe section, and the other end of the return pipe section is communicated with the balance tank.
[0006] In this solution, the materials are transported by a material pump and flow through the preheating section heat exchanger and the sterilization section heat exchanger in sequence for heat exchange and temperature rise. If the material temperature does not reach the sterilization temperature, the first reversing valve directly transports the material to the cooling section heat exchanger through the second output end for cooling and then returns to the balance tank for temporary storage, without the need for heat recovery in the heat recovery section heat exchanger, which is convenient for the heat exchange of subsequent materials with qualified temperatures. When the material temperature reaches the sterilization temperature, the first reversing valve then transports the material to the heat recovery section heat exchanger through the first output end for heat exchange and heat recovery, which is convenient to use and improves the material sterilization efficiency.
[0007] As an optimization, it also includes a heat preservation pipe section. The material input end of the heat preservation pipe section is connected to the first output end of the first reversing valve, and the material output end of the heat preservation pipe section is connected to the material input end of the heat recovery section heat exchanger. This optimized solution extends the flow distance of the high-temperature material through the heat preservation pipe section, thereby increasing the high-temperature sterilization duration of the material and improving the material sterilization effect. There is no need for multiple cycles of sterilization, thus reducing the impact on the original flavor of the product.
[0008] As an optimization, the first output end of the first reversing valve is detachably connected to the heat preservation pipe section through a first cross joint elbow, and the heat recovery section heat exchanger is detachably connected to the heat preservation pipe section through a second cross joint elbow. The heat preservation pipe end includes multiple parallel heat preservation pipes, and one end of adjacent heat preservation pipes is detachably connected through a third cross joint elbow to form a serpentine heat preservation pipe section. In this optimized solution, the first cross joint elbow, the second cross joint elbow, and the third cross joint elbow are all detachably arranged. Then, the first cross joint elbow and the second cross joint elbow can be connected to different heat preservation pipes according to the material sterilization duration requirements, thereby changing the conveying length of the heat preservation pipe section and further realizing different heat preservation and sterilization durations.
[0009] As an optimization, a second reversing valve is connected to the end of the return pipe section far from the cooling section heat exchanger. The third output end of the second reversing valve is connected to the balance tank, and the fourth output end of the second reversing valve is connected to a drain pipe, and the drain pipe is connected to the material input end of the material pump. This optimized solution facilitates the return of the material to the balance tank through the third output end of the second reversing valve, and during cleaning, the cleaning water can return to the material pump for circulating cleaning through the fourth output end of the second reversing valve, making it more convenient to use.
[0010] As an optimization, a thermometer is provided between the material output end of the sterilization section heat exchanger and the first reversing valve. This optimized solution facilitates the judgment of whether the material reaches the sterilization temperature requirement through the thermometer.
[0011] As an optimization, it further includes a heating recovery device. The heating recovery device includes a hot water tank, a water transfer pump, and a steam heat exchanger. The water stored in the hot water tank is transported by the water transfer pump and sequentially flows through the heat recovery section heat exchanger, the steam heat exchanger, the sterilization section heat exchanger, and the preheating section heat exchanger before flowing back into the hot water tank. In this optimization scheme, the stored water exchanges heat with the high-temperature material in the heat recovery section heat exchanger to cool the material. The heated hot water is heated by the steam heat exchanger and flows to the sterilization temperature and is then transported to the sterilization section heat exchanger and the preheating section heat exchanger to exchange heat with the material to heat and sterilize the material. Finally, the cooled cold water flows back into the hot water tank to form a cycle, improving the heat recovery efficiency.
[0012] As an optimization, a water inlet pipe is provided at the top of the balance tank, and a spray head is provided inside the balance tank. The spray head is communicated with the water inlet pipe. In this optimization scheme, the inside of the balance tank is cleaned through the spray head and the material transfer pipeline is flushed through the material pump.
[0013] As an optimization, it further includes an acid tank and an alkali tank. The acid tank and the alkali tank respectively transport acid liquid and alkali liquid into the balance tank through a first diaphragm pump and a second diaphragm pump. In this optimization scheme, acid liquid is transported into the balance tank through the first diaphragm pump for pickling, and alkali liquid is transported into the balance tank through the second diaphragm pump for alkali washing, improving the flushing effect.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The material is transported through the material pump and sequentially flows through the preheating section heat exchanger and the sterilization section heat exchanger for heat exchange and temperature rise. If the material temperature does not reach the sterilization temperature, the first reversing valve directly transports the material into the cooling section heat exchanger through the second output end for cooling and flowing back into the balance tank, without the need for heat recovery in the heat recovery end heat exchanger, facilitating the heat exchange of the subsequent materials with qualified temperatures. When the material temperature reaches the sterilization temperature, the first reversing valve then transports the material to the heat recovery end heat exchanger through the first output end for heat exchange and heat recovery, which is convenient to use and improves the heat recovery efficiency and the material sterilization efficiency. By extending the flow distance of the high-temperature material through the heat preservation pipe section, the high-temperature sterilization time of the material is increased, thereby improving the material sterilization effect and reducing the impact on the original flavor of the product.
[0015] The heat of the material in the heat recovery section heat exchanger is circulated and cooled through the heating recovery device, and the materials in the sterilization section heat exchanger and the preheating section heat exchanger are circulated and heated, realizing the cyclic utilization of heat during the sterilization process, reducing heat dissipation, and improving the heat recovery efficiency.

[0041] Working principle: The material in the balance tank 1 is conveyed by the material pump 2 and flows through the preheating section heat exchanger 3 and the sterilization section heat exchanger 4 for heat exchange and temperature rise. If the temperature does not reach the sterilization temperature requirement, the material is conveyed into the cooling section heat exchanger 8 through the second output end of the first reversing valve 5 to be cooled and then flows back to the material tank 1 for temporary storage, so as to avoid the material entering the heat recovery section heat exchanger 7 for ineffective heat exchange operation and reducing the heat recovery effect. When the temperature reaches the sterilization temperature requirement, the port of the first reversing valve 5 is switched, and the material is conveyed into the heat preservation section heat exchanger 6 through the first output end of the first reversing valve 5 for heat preservation.

[0043] When flushing the material conveying pipeline, clean water is introduced into the balance tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 28, the balance tank is cleaned through the spray head 27, and the clean water is conveyed by the material pump 2 and flows through the preheating section heat exchanger 3, the sterilization section heat exchanger 4, the heat preservation pipe section 6, the heat recovery section heat exchanger 7, the cooling section heat exchanger 8, and the return pipe section 10 in sequence to reach the second reversing valve 11.
