The design of the tubular section of the mold for

the concentration of liquids freeze

 

The use of modern methods of concentrating liquid food environments based on advanced science and technology creates favorable prospects for high quality concentrates in the processing of large volumes of fruit enough raw materials with minimum labor costs. Expansion of production of natural and concentrated juices, extracts of tea, coffee, production of elite wines thickening enzyme solutions, blood plasma, preparations of extracts from the organs of slaughtered animals and other liquid media food and biological applications on large highly mechanized enterprises is only feasible through the introduction of new high-performance, energy-efficient appliances and advanced technology, one of which is the concentration of liquid food media freeze.

Concentration of food and biological media by freezing moisture provides the most complete preservation of the chemical composition and properties of substances in the concentrated product. At the same time, this process involves the allocation of water in the form of ice at temperatures below the crystallization of pure water, which is especially important in the case of production of concentrated fruit and vegetable juices of high quality products for children and dietary food, with energy costs of the process are comparable to traditional methods of concentrating the membrane and a vacuum evaporation method [1].

Processes concentrating food liquids by concentrating refrigeration especially appropriate in cases where the mixture contains components shared extremely unstable even in a slight increase in temperature, which include primarily amino acids such as lysine, tryptophan and cysteine, which undergo significant structural changes in the molecular chain, even at temperatures of the vacuum evaporation, the components of the order of 333 ... 343 K, sugar, coloring and flavoring.

By increasing productivity and reducing heat and mass transfer equipment energy consumption for processing of liquid food and biological materials is the creation and implementation of effective technological equipment with low specific energy and materials having a high impact on the environment to be treated. This requires new engineering teplomassoobmennyh equipment using intensive methods effect on work environment created on the basis of advanced engineering - technical research [2].

In plants the concentration of liquid foods freeze moisture exploit different types of molds, different features work, structural design and surface area of cooling. [3 – 5].

Multi-system concentration of liquid products involve the use of several steps, the first of which is an intensive nucleation, then provide the conditions for their growth and consolidation, followed by separation of ice and concentrated solution. Typically, nucleating requires intensive cooling and mechanical action, so are used for this purpose scraper with the tubular molds mixing devices of various designs.

In such crystallizers "pipe in pipe" by moving the inner pipe is cooled by liquid product from which crystallizes in the form of ice water, and the annulus moves counter currently low temperature refrigerant or refrigerant boils.

Section crystallizer "pipe in pipe" (Fig. 1) consists of an outer tube 1 and inner tube 2 of smaller diameter inserted into each other.

 

 

Fig. 1. An element of the mold section:

1 - the outer tube; 2 - the case of the inner tube; 3 - shaft; 4 - scraper;

5 - finger; 6 - spring; 7 - the slide bearing; 8 - a bolt; 9 - pin

 

The internal tube to remove the ice deposited on the wall of the hollow shaft 3 is mounted with scrapers 4. Crystallizer’s high performance due to the considerable length of the pipe shaft may be made of separate parts. Separate link shaft is a tube 3 with welded into it cylindrical sleeves to install scrubbers 4. The links connect the shaft insertion rod bolts 8 and 9.

Scraper fingers inserted into the grooves 5 and can be welded thereto. Fingers free entry to the cylindrical shaft sleeve and bursting springs 6. This creates the possibility of moving the scraper in the radial direction. The scrapers are arranged in pairs on the shaft at a 90º angle relative to one another. Each scraper has three spring-loaded supports, and each scraping device several pairs of scrapers.

Shaft mounted inside the tube in bearings 7. The front ends of the shaft coming out of the doubles sealed Gland. The difference between the thermal expansion of inner and outer tubes perceived wavy (lens) compensators. Drive shafts made engine - gearbox through the drive sprocket.

A driven sprocket mounted on the drive shaft of the scraping device. For torque transmission is used duplex chain drive. The outer tube is also connected through a common adapter stamped coil.

Outside the housing unit in any link of the drive (gear, clutch) provide for the safety pin, which is cut off when excessive force arising from the binding or other malfunctions in the scraping device. As a result, the scraper device is disconnected one pipe while the other continues to operate.

It should be noted a number of positive features inherent in the developed design section of the mold for freezing liquids.

Production and execution of individual sections of parts and does not require sophisticated equipment and technical accessories. The construction of the section of the mold is simple in design and reliable in operation. Maintenance is easy enough and is not intended to attract highly qualified staff.

Control and regulation of the amount of ice in the frozen section may be implemented as a change in the heat load on the liquid medium to be treated and mode of mixing and purging the internal cylindrical surface of the frozen layer of ice consumption of starting material fed to the concentration and duration of exposure under continuous stirring mixture of ice and concentrate section.

The use of such structures will significantly simplify the design scraping mold used for the separation of liquid products by freezing.
