Design Calculation For Milk Chilling Center

This document provides information and calculations for designing a milk chilling center. It discusses calculating refrigeration load based on mass flow rate, temperature difference and specific heat of milk. It also covers compressor size calculations, designing an ice bank tank based on required refrigeration, and calculations for a plate heat exchanger chiller including log mean temperature difference and number of plates needed. Finally it lists key specifications that should be checked for the plate heat exchanger, pumps, compressor and ice bank tank to optimize the chilling process.

Design calculations of Milk chilling Centre


Refrigeration Load calculation

As, Heat Load, Q


𝑸 = 𝒎𝒄∆𝑻

Where,
Q- Heat required to remove to chill milk, Kcal/hr.
m- Mass flow rate of milk, Kg/hr.
c- Specific heat of milk, Kcal/ Kg°C
ΔT- temperature difference between incoming & chilled milk, °C

1 TR = 3028 Kcal
1HP = 641.41 Kcal/hr.
1 TR = 4.71 HP/hr.
Compressor

As,
1TR=4.71 HP

• Means if a compressor of 4.71 HP operates for 1 hr., it will


produce 1 Ton of refrigeration

So,
• For compressor of 70% efficiency
1 TR=6.72 HP

So 50 HP compressor (70%), will produce 7.44 TR if operates


for 1 hr.
Ice Bank tank (IBT) Design

Suppose chilling load (in one shift) = 145.51 TR

So we required 145.51 TR ice


As, 1 TR = 3028 Kcal
So,
145.51 TR = 145.51*3028
= 440604.28 Kcal
= mL
So,
m= 5507.55 Kgs of ice Where, L- latent heat of fusion of ice
= 80 Kcal/kg

Or 551 RMT of IBT coil


Chiller Design

I. Specific gravity of milk = d1


II. Specific gravity of milk = d2
III. Chilling medium: ----
IV. Chilling medium inlet temperature, ti1°C
V. Chilling medium outlet temperature, to1°C
VI. Milk inlet temperature, ti2°C
VII. Milk outlet temperature, to2°C
VIII. Milk flow rate = M1 LPH
IX. Chilling medium flow rate = M2 LPH?
X. Specific heat of Milk = X1 Kcal/kg°C
XI. Specific heat of Brine = X2 Kcal/kg°C

So,
M1*d1*X1*(ti2-to2) = M2*d2*X2*(to1-ti1)
So, required chilling medium flow rate = M2= -----
LMTD- Log mean temperature difference

If,

 Chilling medium inlet temperature, ti1°C

 Chilling medium outlet temperature, to1°C

 Milk inlet temperature, ti2°C

 Milk outlet temperature, to2°C

Then,

(ti2 − to1) − (to2 − ti1)


𝐿𝑀𝑇𝐷 =
𝑡𝑖2 − 𝑡𝑜1
ln(𝑡𝑜2 − 𝑡𝑖1)
Required nos. of Plates in chiller

As, Heat Load, Q

𝑸 = 𝑼𝑨(𝑳𝑴𝑻𝑫)

Where,

 U- Overall heat transfer coefficient, Kcal/m2 °C hr.


 A- Total effective heat transfer area, m2
 LMTD- Log mean temperature difference, °C
 Considering U (Overall heat transfer coefficient, Kcal/m2 °C hr.)

Required nos. of plates in chiller
