Definitions

  • a heat pump should be interpreted broadly as a device capable of transferring heat from a heat source to a heat sink, wherein the temperature of the heat source is lower than the temperature of the heat sink.
  • the heat pump may be implemented as a commercially available heat pump operating on the physical principles of phase transitions of a refrigerant.
  • a second heater 120 Downstream of the first heater 1 10 a second heater 120 is provided for increasing the temperature of the food product even further, preferably from 75°C to 81 °C.
  • the second heater 120 utilizes steam, wherein the heat of the steam is transferred indirectly to the food product via a heat exchanger.
  • a further heating means 130 is provided downstream of the second heater 120 by which steam is directly injected into the food product for forming a mix of food product and steam. The temperature rapidly increases to approximately 140°C, whereby the mix of food product and steam is kept at this temperature for a certain time in order to provide sufficient sterilization of the food product.
  • a flash cooler 140 is provided downstream of the steam injector 130.
  • the flash cooler 140 is a vacuum chamber in which the steam boils off and is separated from the food product.
  • the food product, now having returned to the temperature of approximately 80°C, is then further processed by various food processing equipment (not shown) whereafter it is cooled down to approximately 4°C before exiting the food processing system at the output "B".
  • the cooling is preferably provided in two steps, wherein the first step includes the first heater 1 10 which utilizes the heat of the food product to increase the temperature of the incoming food product to 75°C. At the same time the return food product is cooled down to approximately 12°C.
  • a final cooler 150 is further provided in order to further decrease the temperature of the food product to the desired discharge temperature of 4°C.
