Juice Heater

The juice heater consists of an assembly of tubes; the juice circulates through the tubes, and the vapour outside them. Suitable headers force the juice to pass a certain number of times from bottom to top and from top to bottom of the heater by restricting the juice each time to a few of the tubes.There are two principal designs of tubular juice heaters, the horizontal and the vertical, both are use in sugar Industry. The Vertical juice heaters are preferred because they occupy less floor space, are subject to less formation of scales and provide better facilities for cleaning, Direct Contact Heater is a heat exchanger that works on the principle of counter current heat exchange. DCH is an alternative approach to the plate and tabular heaters. DCH plus Direct Contact Heaters offered by IPROINDIA are equipped with optimum internal design for better mixture of liquids and vapours.Sugarcane juice or molasses (residue after sugar production) could be used as substrates, both providing readily fermentable sugars (fructose, glucose, and sucrose).On the right, the direct burning of sugar requires a larger activation energy. In this reaction, the same total free energy is released as in stepwise oxidation, but none is stored in carrier molecules, so most of it will be lost as heat (free energy).
