Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for producing and providing sterile water comprising an inlet for process water; a recuperator for preheating process water and for cooling down the sterile water; a heating circuit comprising a pump, a heater for heating preheated process water and a heat retention section for keeping heated process water hot; a temperature sensor for measuring a current temperature of the sterile water leaving the heat retention section; a flow control valve located downstream of the temperature sensor; and a bypass between the flow control valve and the heater. The flow control valve keeps a volume flow in the heating circuit constant, the recuperator cools down the sterile water of a first partial volume flow, when such a first partial volume flow of sterile water is taken from the heating circuit, the bypass returns into the heating circuit a second partial volume flow of sterile water.
Abstract:
A method for automatically determining a current condition of a system in operation includes acquiring first data relating to one or more faults in the system during a process, acquiring second data relating to a process time in the system during the process, acquiring third data relating to media and energy consumption in the system during the process, and determining a process indicator number based on the first, second, and third data. A device for automatically determining a current condition of a system in operation is configured to carry out the method.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device (1) for supplying consumers (6) with a cleaning and/or disinfection fluid, preferably in a beverage filling plant, comprising a reservoir (2) for receiving a supply of cleaning and/or disinfection fluid, wherein at least two consumers (6) are connected to the reservoir (2) via a ring line (4).
