Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to CIP technology, and more particularly to a CIP water and heat energy recovery and utilization device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the key production processes for canned carbonated beverages include a can washing system and a mixing and filling system. The can washing system cleans empty cans before they enter the mixing and filling system for filling and capping. Because the mixing and filling system involves food hygiene and safety, it undergoes regular CIP cleaning. The CIP cleaning system cleans and disinfects the mixed filling by passing CIP water at a certain temperature through a centrifugal pump in the CIP tank.
[0003] Patent document with application number "CN202210360684.0" discloses a CIP cleaning system, which includes: a water-using mechanism, a purified water tank, an alkali tank, a water-for-injection tank, a return water mechanism, a first conductivity meter, and a controller. During operation, when the conductivity of the return water meets the requirements, it indicates that the quality of the return water is up to standard. The controller then controls the return water mechanism to output the collected purified water return water to the purified water tank through the first return water pipeline, and to output the collected alkali return water to the alkali tank through the second return water pipeline.
[0004] Patent document with application number "CN200910217438.4" discloses a device including a host computer program module, a slave computer program module, various sensors of the CIP control system, and various actuators of the CIP control system. The host computer program module mainly provides a human-machine interface for operators, offering a vivid, intuitive, and feature-rich integrated user environment for operating the CIP system through several process screens. The slave computer program module mainly receives instructions from the host computer program and automatically executes the corresponding operating procedures according to the CIP cleaning specifications based on the issued instructions and signals from the field instruments and actuators.
[0005] The aforementioned patent documents, in conjunction with existing technologies, reveal the following shortcomings of current CIP water and heat energy recovery and utilization devices:
[0006] In existing technologies, only the mixing and filling system includes CIP cleaning. The tank washing system is not designed for cleaning during CIP; the tanks are simply rinsed with sterile room-temperature water and then directly enter the filling system. Because the tanks contain impurities and foreign matter, neglecting to clean the tank washing system for an extended period poses a hygiene risk. Furthermore, during the CIP system cleaning process, water that does not meet the required temperature is discharged and then returned to the CIP tank for recirculation once it reaches a certain temperature.

The liquid recovery heat energy line includes a hot water storage unit, a second centrifugal pump, and a heat exchanger. The input end of the heat exchanger is connected to the output pipeline of the mixing and filling system, and an inlet valve is installed on the pipeline.
