Definitions
- the homoginezing of liquid matter and liquidwmixtures forms an important step me. great number of industrial processes.
- the homogenization of milk and milk products serv ing to increase the dispersion of the fat particles in order to avoid fat separation is carried out on a great scale. This operation is particularly useful if applied to products which shall be preservedand stored for a long time.
- the liquid is forced to pass through between the cone and its seat, the pressure counteracting the passage of the liquid being regulated by increasing or reducing the spring pressure.
- the extent of pressure determining the intensity of homogenization or emulsification is measured by means of a manometer (pressure gauge) arranged upstream of the cone.
- homogenizing apparatus In another homogenizing apparatus the liquid is forced through a capillary or a bundle of capillaries, which are closed by a resilient plate. In a third type of apparatus homogenization is brought about by setting one of the parts of the valve rotating at high speed.
- the invention is based on the insight, gained after much experimenting, that the two main considerations mentioned above are not correct.
- this invention consists therein thatliquids are homogenized by forcing an. enclosed jet of the liquid under treatment under high axial pressure and at a gradually rising speed, but with no external friction, to suddenly twice reverse its direction of flow, while. relieving the liquid, during and after the reversals of the pressure acting thereon. Since no permanent pressure is required, this invention may be carried out with the aid of a wide nozzle which does not comprise any movable or resilient part. 2
- the effect resulting from the rise'in temperature may be increased further by taking care that the heat is abducted as little as possible, for instance by insulating the outer wall of the nozzle and/or covering it with a metal of heat reflecting capacity.
- K is a nozzle body and M is a conduit of frusto-conical axial section formed in this body, this conduit tapering evenly from the intake end A toward the exhaust end B.
- the conduit widens abruptly into a coaxially extending conduit P of substantially constant, relatively much larger diameter, in which is coaxially flxed a battle body G of materially lesser diameter which presents to the exhaust opening of the conical conduit an immovable baflle surface.
- a counter-bathe D surrounds the exhaust opening 13.
- a plate R formed with large openings E holds the baiiie body G in position in the conduit P.
- the liquid such as for instance milk
- the exhaust opening 13 may have a diameter of for instance 1 to mms., according to the capacity and to the desired degree of homogenization.
- the funnel-shaped conduit serves for raising the velocity of flow of the liquid with the least possible external friction and therefore the least possible expenditure of energy. For the same reason the wall of the inlet is smoothly polished.
- the degree of homogenization is now increased still further by the stationary baflie surface 0 which causes the turbulence of the liquid to increase.
- This turbulence is increased further by making the baflle surface and the counter-bailie surface D concave.
- the liquid flowing through M in axial direction is dispersed on meeting the baflle surface C and is forced to change its direction of flow, being deflected toward the counter-baflle surface D and by its impact on this surface being forced to once more change its direction so that it now flows again in its initial direction. .
- the liquid escapes from the nozzle through the large perforations E.
- the eflect of homogenization will be constant.
- the device once set operating, does not require any supervision, and pressure gauges may be dispensed with altogether.
- Another important advantage of this invention consists therein that the consumption of energy is considerably lower than in apparatus according to the prior art mentioned above, or inversely at an equal consumption of energy the degree of homogenization is higherr
- Liquid homogenizing device comprising a nozzle body traversed by a conduit of frustoconical axial section'tapering evenly from the intake end towards the exhaust end and abruptly widening into a co-axially extending conduit of substantially constant, relatively. large diameter, a bailie body of materially lesser diameter removably flxed in the widened part of said conduit'and presenting to the exhaust end of the conical parts of said conduit an immovable bailie surface, and
