CA 2335608

A monitoring apparatus (1) for monitoring soil build-up in a pipe (6) which may form part of a pipework system including a heat exchanger. The pipework system is used in e.g. the heat treatment of milk and milk products. The monitoring apparatus (1) is in thermal connection with the pipe (6) and includes a body (2) capable of being heated by a heater. The power supplied to the heater is controlled and monitored such that a change in power input to the heater is indicative of a change in heat transfer to a fluid (8) flowing through the pipe (6). The heat from the apparatus (1) causes localised soil build-up in a portion of the pipe (6) near to the heated body (2). The soil build-up is representative of the soil build-up in the heat exchanger. The cleaning of the pipe (6) may be based on the soil build-up indicated by the monitoring apparatus (1).

L'invention concerne un appareil (1) de contrôle de l'accumulation de souillures dans un tuyau (6) qui peut faire partie d'un système de conduites comprenant un échangeur de chaleur. Le système de conduites s'utilise, par exemple, dans le traitement thermique du lait et de produits laitiers. L'appareil (1) de contrôle se trouve en connexion thermique avec le tuyau (6) et comprend un corps (2) pouvant être chauffé par un appareil de chauffage. L'énergie fournie à l'appareil de chauffage est commandée et contrôlée de sorte qu'un changement d'arrivée d'énergie dans l'appareil de chauffage indique un changement de transfert de chaleur vers un fluide (8) s'écoulant dans le tuyau (6). La chaleur provenant de l'appareil (1) entraîne une accumulation locale de souillures dans l'échangeur de chaleur. Le nettoyage du tuyau (6) peut se baser sur l'accumulation de souillures indiquée par l'appareil (1) de contrôle.
