This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Homogenizer, Aseptic Inlet / Outlet Dampers Purpose Absorb pressure shocks and vibration at inlet and outlet of homogenizer, Homogenizer (M6, V51) Functionality The homogenizer, M6, always runs when the VTIS is running. It will either by bypassed when V51 is open, or not. The Homogenization Pressure is only active in production V51 is the homogenizer bypass valve. When V51 open, the homogenizer is bypassed and runs flow around itself. The bypass is there to allow any process overpressure downstream of the homogenizer to push open V51 and protect the downstream equipment from the homogenizer’s positive flow (i.e. heat exchangers, etc.), Aseptic Inlet / Outlet Dampers Functionality The pulsating nature of the flow out of the homogenizer causes the need to have a shock absorption buffer at its inlet and outlet, so the pulsation is not transferred upstream and downstream, Homogenizer Works With Homogenizer (M6, V51), Homogenizer (M6, V51) Purpose Product homogenization and flash vessel level control, Aseptic Inlet / Outlet Dampers Functionality Over time, as the system runs, it is normal for trapped dampening air to diminish and therefore, shock absorption effect decreases over a run, Aseptic Inlet / Outlet Dampers Functionality The aseptic dampers utilize an inner tube, which traps air, creating the dampening effect. Hot water flows on the outside of the inner tube to properly sterilize it and its trapped air, Homogenizer Works With Aseptic Inlet / Outlet Dampers, Homogenizer (M6, V51) Controls M6 runs on fixed output, when homogenizer bypass valve, V51, is open M6 is PID controlled, based on LC306, when homogenizer bypass valve, V51, is closed V51 is on/off solenoid activated based on step sequence
