Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure measurement
Measuring point:
Pipeline
Measuring range up to:
+3 bar
Medium:
Cooling medium, hot water, tomatoes
Process temperature:
+62 … +85 °C
Process pressure:
0 … +2.5 bar
Special challenges:
Aseptic cleaning of pipes, condensate
Application
In the plate heat exchanger, the tomatoes are heated up to about +85 °C, depending on the product, so that all germs are killed. The tomatoes are heated in multiple sections, kept hot for a time and then cooled down again. This process is suitable for thermal treatment of tomato concentrate, pulp and juice. Reliable pressure measurement is required to maintain an optimal process in the heat exchanger.
