An important operation in the technology of primary processing of milk is its cooling, which is produced by various technical means. When cooling milk, ice water generators are widely used, the standard design of which contains a tubular type evaporator. The main disadvantages of this design are considered to be the high consumption of electrical energy and the considerable time required for the formation of ice. To eliminate the shortcomings inherent in the existing designs of ice water generators, a technical solution has been developed, the novelty of which is confirmed by the patent of the Russian Federation for a utility model. The proposed design of the ice water generator is distinguished by the presence of panel-type evaporators, pulse mode of operation, plate configuration of the resulting ice and can be used in the technology of primary processing of milk when it is cooled. The article presents some results of studies of the efficiency of the ice water generator of the proposed design with panel-type evaporators and the ice water generator of the standard design with tube-type evaporators, depending on the temperature mode of operation.
