raw inlet to regen 1: used to evaluate the pressure differential required by the PMO |
| PS 1 |
raw inlet to regen 2: used to evaluate the pressure differential required by the PMO |
| PS 2 |
pasterized exit regen 2: used to evaluate the pressure differential required by the PMO |
| PS 3 |
pasterized exit regen 1: used to evaluate the pressure differential required by the PMO,
used to check "back pressure" set point |
| PS 4 |
inlet to separator |
| PS 5 |
skim line: used to control back pressure via valve #39 (throttling valve) |
| PS 7 |
inlet to homogenizer: used to control stuffer pump speed to avoid cavitation in homogenizer,
used to check "stuffer pressure" set-point |
| RTD 1 |
hold tube outlet temperature (next to DRT), measures legal pasteurization temperature, signal
displayed on chart recorder |
| RTD 2 |
cooler exit temperature, used to control water flow to cooler |
| RTD 3 |
located in hot water line (receiving bay) to heater, used to
control steam flow to hot water heater |
| RTD 4 |
cream discharge temperature, used to control water flow to cream cooler |
| RTD 8 |
measures outlet (skim) temperature, used to control by-pass valve # 36
(throttling valve), signal displayed on chart recorder |
| MM 1 |
measures flow rate to hold tube, used to control amount of HTST1 discharge |
| MM 2 |
measures skim milk flow rate, used to control amount of HTST1 discharge |
| DRT |
digital temperature temperature recorder after hold tube,
displayed on instrument panel |
