2 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure METHOD FOR STERILIZING LIQUIDS The present invention relates to a method for sterilizing liquids, such as milk, blood or the like, by bringing annular jets of steam and liquid, concentric to each other, into contact with each other. The invention also comprises a jet nozzle for this purpose, the nozzle having annular, concentric channels for the supply of steam and liquid, which open around a central plug. An example of such a method together with a jet nozzle is shown in the U.S. Pat. No. 2,130,644.
Experience from plants for sterilizing liquid articles of food, such as milk, where the heating to the sterilization temperature (135 to 150 C) is effected by direct injection of steam into the liquid, shows that precipitation products, such as coagulated protein, coat surfaces of the jet nozzle. The coatings grow and cause the flow resistance in the nozzle to become so great that the pump and steam pressures are unable to overcome this resistance, which leads to interruption of the operation.
The present invention aims at preventing the formation of said coatings by flushing cold liquid past those surfaces on which the coatings can be formed. According to the invention, this is effected by providing two annular jets of cold liquid which are concentric to said jets of steam and liquid and which are caused to sweep along the formed annular jet of steam-heated liquid at its inside as well as at its outside. Preferably, the jets of cold liquid consist of the same liquid as that to be sterilized. However, it is also possible to use cold water or cold condensate of vapor emitted from the sterilized liquid.
A jet nozzle suitable for the new method is characterized in that the annular channels concentric to each other are four in number and that the innermost one and the outermost one of the channels are connected to a source of cold liquid. For constructional reasons, the simplest way to effect this is to connect the next innermost channel to the source for the liquid to be sterilized. For similar constructional reasons, it is suitable to arrange, within the housing of the jet nozzle, a connection between the channel for the liquid to be sterilized and at least one of the innermost and the outermost channels. In view of the tendency to precipitation of coagulated material on the surfaces of the jet nozzle, it has been found suitable to allow all channels to open mainly within a zone corresponding to a narrowing point of the central plug in the nozzle.
The invention is described more in detail below, reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which the single illustration is a longitudinal section through an example of the new jet nozzle.
The jet nozzle has a housing comprising two cylindrical parts 1 and 2. These parts are kept together by screws 3. A disc 4, clamped securely between these parts, has a central hole 5 into which opens an annular channel 6 for the supply of cold liquid from an inlet 7. A hollow cylindrical body 8 is screwed into the part 1, and its left-hand end has a grip 9 for a screw-key, which makes it possible to adjust the body 8 in relation to the disc 4. A cylindrical body 10 is in turn screwed into the body 8, and the relative position of the bodies 8 and 10 can be adjusted by means of a grip 11 for a screw-key. The latter grip is a part of the body 10. In its right-hand end, the body 10 has a cavity 12 into which a plug 13 with a conical point 14 is screwed. In passing through the right-hand end of the body 10, the plug 13 forms a narrow, annular slot 15 which, like the channel 6, has
2 an unchangeable cross section. The body 1 has two inlets l6 and 17, of which the first one passes through an opening 18 in the body 8 and opens into the cavity 19 of the latter. The inlet 17 opens into the cavity 20 of the body 1. Conical, annular channels 21 and 22 lead from the cavities l9 and 20 to the meeting place 23 for the channels 6 and 15, i.e., to the zone of the plug point 14. The cavities l2 and 19 communicate with one another through holes 24.
The apparatus operates in the following manner, it being assumed that milk is to be sterilized. The milk is supplied through the inlet 16 and the steam through the inlet 17. Milk and steam meet in the zone 23 around the plug point 14, the milk immediately being heated to sterilizing temperature. A small part of the cold milk flows through the holes 24 to the slot 15 and sweeps from there along the plug point 14, so that precipitations on the latter are practically completely prevented. In a similar manner, cold milk coming from the inlet 7 prevents formation of precipitations on those surfaces of the jet nozzle which, calculated in the flow direction, follow after the opening 5, i.e., on the inside of the body 2. Cooling of this same inside by means of a supply of cold water through the inlet 26 assists in preventing formation of precipitations on this inside.
The width of the slots 21 and 22 can be adjusted by means of the key grips 9 and 11 so as to correspond to a suitable supply of milk and steam.
Cold water, such as cold condensate from milk vapor, can be supplied to the inlet 7 instead of milk. The same is true for the channel 29, if the holes 24 have been plugged. On the last-mentioned condition, steam can be supplied through the inlet 16 and the milk to be sterilized can be supplied through the inlet 17.
As previously described, the channel 6 is an annular channel which receives cold liquid from inlet 7 and which opens into the central hole 5 in the disc 4. More precisely, the outlet 6a of annular channel 6 surrounds the annular jet of steam-heated liquid issuing from the central hole 5, as shown in the drawing, so that the liquid from inlet 7 is directed along the outside of this annular jet issuing from hole 5.
We claim:
1. In the sterilizing of a liquid containing heat degradable biological material by contacting with each other, in a jet nozzle locus, two annular and concentric jets of steam and said liquid, respectively, thereby forming an annular jet of steam-heated liquid in said locus, the improvement which comprises forming two additional annular jets of cold liquid concentric to said first-mentioned jets of steam and liquid, and directing said additional jets along both the inside and the outside of said annular jet of steam-heated liquid, whereby material from the liquid to be sterilized is prevented from buming onto surfaces of the jet nozzle locus.
2. The improvement of claim 1, in which said additional annular jets consist of cold liquid of the same kind as the liquid to be sterilized.
Claims (2)
