Computer Controlled Deodorizing Unit

Details

The Computer Controlled Deodorizing Unit, "AEDC", is a batch deodorizing process unit able to perform a vacuum steam distillation underlow pressure and high temperature with steam. Several factors that influence the process can be studied. The unit consists of a deodorizingvessel, a vacuum system, a steam line, a discharge pump and a polishing filter. The deodorizing vessel is equipped with a computer controlled heating element to heat the oil, a steam distributor that allows the steam/oil mixing required, and an immersed cooling water coil to reduce the oil temperature when the process has completed. This vessel isequipped with a sight glass so that the process can be visualized. This vessel includes a security valve, a level switch and a pressure sensorand a manometer to measure the vessel pressure. The steam line injects steam from the steam generator to the deodorizing vessel with a steam distributor. This line includes a steam trap, asecurity valve, a check valve, a high pressure switch and two computer controlled solenoid valves. Vapor from the vessel, with the undesirable compounds, is directed to the condenser of the vacuum system, through which coolingwater flows. This
