Abstract

Fouling of Plate heat exchangers is a major problem in Diary industry. When the milk is heated above 65°C there is chemical transition of proteins in milk. This transition is called as Milk denaturation. The milk initially has Native protein, due to increase in temperature of milk there is transformation of protein from Native to Denaturated and from Denaturated to Aggregated, but only aggregated protein sticks to the surface of PHE. Due to this aggregation a layer is formed on surface which reduces the heat transfer & thus the performance of PHE. This phenomenon is called as Fouling of Plate Heat Exchanger.
