  • the heat pump By means of the heat pump, the liquor of the second preheater is heated.
  • the heat and fresh water consumption of this device is thus low. This is due to the fact that the power circuit for heating and cooling is closed and only the heat loss must be replaced by energy supply.
  • the object of the invention is to optimize a bottle cleaning device with regard to their fresh water consumption.
  • a bottle cleaning device comprises a fresh water reservoir comprising a recycle water reservoir connected to a cold water reservoir, a second hot water reservoir connected to a first hot water reservoir, and to a leach reservoir connected to a lye bath or to a pre-treatment zone the fresh water reservoir into the recycle water reservoir, from the recycle water reservoir into the cold water reservoir, from the cold water reservoir into the second hot water reservoir, from the second hot water reservoir into the first hot water reservoir, from the first hot water reservoir to replenish or dilute into the leach reservoir, and from the leach reservoir to refill into the Lye bath or in the pretreatment zone can pass.

  • the bottle washing apparatus further comprises a first heat exchanger adapted to cool the mixed water and at the same time to heat a first medium, a second heat exchanger adapted to cool the first medium and at the same time to heat a second medium, a third heat exchanger therefor is designed to cool the second medium and at the same time heat a third medium and a fourth heat exchanger, which is adapted to cool the third medium and at the same time to heat liquor from the lye bath.
  • the bottle cleaning device comprises a return line which is designed to supply the mixed water cooled in the first heat exchanger to the recycle water reservoir.
  • the first and second heat exchangers may be considered as an intermediate circuit in which the first medium circulates and which is required for the two-stage high temperature heat pump.
  • the two-stage high-temperature heat pump comprises the second and the third heat exchanger in the first stage and the third and the fourth heat exchanger in the second stage.
  • the second heat exchanger of the first stage serves as an evaporator for the second medium and the third heat exchanger as a condenser for the second medium.
  • the third heat exchanger serves as an evaporator for the third medium and the fourth heat exchanger as a condenser for the third medium.
  • the refrigerant R134a can be used, since no high-temperature capability is required here.

  • the extracted water from the cold water reservoir and the first hot water reservoir has a temperature of about 50 ° C after mixing. In order to use this mixed water as a fresh water substitute, it must be cooled to about 15 ° C so that its temperature is approximately equal to that of the fresh water. The heat content of the branched water is high, and thus a large cooling capacity is applied.

  • the first and the second compressor as well as the first and the second expansion throttle are also part of the two-stage high-temperature heat pump.
  • the medium generally a refrigerant, which has been transferred in an evaporator from the liquid to the gaseous state, sucked and compressed in the compressor to the pressure which is necessary for the liquefaction of the medium.
  • the compressor compresses the vapor medium from a low initial pressure to a high final pressure, the temperature of the medium increases, so that this medium can be reused to heat another medium.
  • the mixing valve may include a temperature controlled servomotor.
  • a temperature sensor at the outlet of the mixing valve can give a signal to a controller that controls the actuator, so that the volume flow of water from the cold water reservoir and the Volumetric flow of water from the first hot water reservoir can be controlled and thereby a desired mixing temperature can be achieved by regulating the mixing ratio.

  • One rotor may have four convex shaped teeth and the other rotor may comprise six concave shaped teeth. If the rotors rotate against each other, small chambers are created which convey the gas in the screw compressor in one direction. There is a suction at the suction side, which sucks the gaseous medium, and an ejection at the discharge side.
  • the first heat exchanger may comprise a plate heat exchanger.
  • a plate heat exchanger achieves a very compact design by the construction of several corrugated plates, which are alternately rotated rotated by 180 °. This creates flow gaps through which alternately the warm, to be cooled medium and the medium to be heated are passed through. There is a large heat transfer area.
  • the medium runs on the primary side opposite to that on the secondary side.
  • the temperature difference between incoming and outgoing medium at an evaporator of the heat exchanger should only be between 5 and 7 K difference, otherwise at a too large temperature difference between incoming and outgoing medium of the heat transfer coefficient is smaller.

  • the first and the second medium can each circulate in a line system in the intermediate circuit or in the first stage of the two-stage high-temperature heat pump.
  • the heated third medium may be supplied through the second compressor to the fourth heat exchanger and the third medium may be cooled in the fourth heat exchanger.
  • countercurrent liquor can be heated from the lye bath in the fourth heat exchanger, followed by feeding the heated liquor to the liquor bath and feeding the cooled third medium via the second flashback to the third heat exchanger.
  • the third medium may circulate in a conduit system in the second stage of the two-stage high temperature heat pump.
  • the liquor can be conducted by means of another conduit system from the liquor bath to the fourth heat exchanger and back to the liquor bath.
  • fresh water may be initially introduced into the bottle washer to fill the cascade of successive water reservoirs.
