Abstract
A complete self-containing multipurpose dairy processor unit in which a liquid is treated including a hot-water or steam generator and a heat exchanger immersible in the liquid to be treated and selectively feedable when immersed in the liquid being treated with hot water, steam or cold water depending on whether heat is to be transferred to the liquid to be treated or removed from the liquid to be treated, the hot water or steam being produced by the generator device. A generator including a turbine produces a flow within the liquid to be treated to cause the liquid to pass over the heat exchanger. The turbine is a variable-speed turbine which forces the liquid from a location below the heat exchanger upward into and through the heat exchanger.

A complete self-containing multipurpose dairy processor unit in which a liquid is treated, comprising:
- a generator for generating hot-water or steam,
- a heat exchanger immersible in the liquid to be treated and selectively feedable when immersed in the liquid to be treated with hot water, steam or cold water depending on whether heat is to be transferred to the liquid to be treated or removed from the liquid to be treated, the hot water or steam being produced by said generator, and
- means for generating a forced flow within the liquid to be treated to cause the liquid to pass through said heat exchanger, said generating means comprising a variable-speed turbine operable at different speeds and arranged to force the liquid from a location below said heat exchanger upward into and through said heat exchanger.
A complete self-containing multipurpose dairy processor unit for the production of milk derivatives in which a liquid is treated, comprising:
- a generator device for generating hot-water or steam,
- a heat exchanger device immersible in the liquid to be treated and selectively feedable when immersed in the liquid to be treated with hot water, steam or cold water depending on whether heat is to be transferred to the liquid to be treated or removed from the liquid to be treated, the hot water or steam being produced by said generator device,
- means for generating a forced flow within the liquid to be treated to cause the liquid to pass through said heat exchanger, said generating means comprising a turbine arranged to force the liquid from a location below said heat exchanger upward into and through said heat exchanger,
- a single support structure, said steam generator, said heat exchanger and said generating means being mounted on said support structure, and
- wheels arranged on said support structure for enabling movement of said support structure.
