Electric field effect on the milk fouling resistances in shell and tube heat exchangers
Abstract
In the present study, the effect of both electric field and surface charge on thermal fouling resistance was investigated during the milk pasteurization process in a laboratory-scale shell and tube heat exchanger. Fouling resistances were calculated by the LMTD (Logarithmic Mean Temperature Differences) method. Foulant fluid was milk, and its flow rate was constant at 750.10-6 m3min-1 (Reynolds number = 214.37). Applied electric field strengths were 4000 V m-1, 8000 V m-1, and 12000 V m-1 between the shell side surface of the heat exchanger and a cable passed through the inside tubes of the heat exchanger. It was observed that fouling was reduced when a 4000 V m-1 electric field was applied to the positively charged heat exchanger surface. No major change in fouling resistance was observed for other applied electric field and surface charge conditions.
