Definitions

the container In addition to the fact that the container must be biased far above the saturation pressure in the return gas control and the draining must be carried out in a controlled manner in order to achieve a controlled filling speed, the reduction of the filling speed in the last filling section is problematic. If the liquid inlet pressure remains constant, the flow rate can only be reduced if the differential pressure is reduced. In the known methods, the gas outlet is throttled (or, in extreme cases, prevented) and waited until the rising fill level has increased the back pressure to the desired value by compressing the remaining gas volume in the container. This period can be significant, especially for beer kegs. A 50 1 keg usually has an inlet cross-section DN21 and a maximum filling speed of 2.5 1 / sec at a differential pressure of 0.8 bar.
a major advantage of this new method is that the previously required installation of product pressure sensors can be dispensed with entirely, since these pressures are no longer decisive for the generation of the flow rate. As a result, the use of these highly accurate and sensitive sensors and their calibration calibration adjustment are no longer necessary.
the pretensioning pressure within the container is set in accordance with the saturation pressure after filling.
the background of this inventive concept is the fact that beer kegs are steamed for sterilization before filling and the cold product is filled into the still hot container. In this case, 50 liters of beer at a temperature of about 3 ° C. are filled into about 12 kg of metal at a temperature of 100 ° C.
a mixing and compensation temperature is set which increases the temperature of the product in the container by approx. 4 ° C compared to the supply temperature.
this changes the saturation pressures of the dissolved gases so that, according to the invention, the value to be set must correspond to that of the product in the filled container. This question has never been asked in the past because the back pressure has always been significantly above the saturation pressure.
