Cooling 1000 kg of milk from 35 to 4 °C removes about 34 kWh of heat. The calculator shows the load that the refrigeration unit must handle.
Approximate calculation using a simplified model: for designing equipment and process modes, consult a technologist.
How does cooling differ from heating in the calculation?
Heat is calculated with the same relation m × c × ΔT, but the heater efficiency is not applied.
The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
