    Vat cooling cost

    Hi guys, Thank you for your replies. Yes, the HTST system uses a heat regeneration module in which 80-90 % of energy is recovered compared to the vat pasteurization process. The hot pasteurized milk preheats the incoming cold milk in the regeneration section. Also. there is no cooling required...

    Vat cooling cost

    Hello, I want to calculate the cost of the cooling process and see if this is the right way to do it. Assuming the cost per KW at $0.15 I need to cool 12 vats of milk from 175 F down to 90 F. Each vat has 1500 gallons of milk. Total BTU per vat = 1500*8.6*0.92*85=1,008,780 Total...
