  • each heat exchanger is of the stacked plates.
  • the successive plates define two by two of the fluid circulation chambers, and successive chambers define portions of two different circuits to allow the exchange of calories between the fluids of these two circuits.
  • the first and second heat exchangers may constitute a single general heat exchanger.
  • the stacked plates of the general heat exchanger and the chambers of heating of the device have substantially identical dimensions.
  • the general exchanger and the device can be assembled in series in forming a one-piece structure using securing means such as as tie rods coupled to nuts.

  • one (or more) room (s) is provided heater which comprises (comprise) two walls constituted by conductive plates substantially parallel to each other and spaced apart on the other by a chosen distance.
  • the plates are supplied with current electric.
  • the fluid to be heated is introduced nearby from one end of the plates, then the fluid is circulated between the plates, substantially parallel to them, so that it heats up inside the chamber, by ohmic effect, and finally we collect the fluid heated near a second end of the plates, opposite the first end.
  • a fourth step to lower the selected value by temperature of the first fluid by exchange of calories with a second fluid.
  • the first fluid is the heated fluid delivered by the outlet of the (or) heating chamber (s), while the second fluid is a fluid refrigerant.

  • the method may include, after the fourth step, a fifth step to lower the value choose the temperature of the first pre-cooled fluid by heat exchange with a third refrigerant.
  • FIG. 1 a device for ohmic heating according to the invention.
  • This device 1 is, in the example illustrated, composed of five heating chambers juxtaposed one against the other others and communicating with each other.
  • This device is therefore of the type multi-bedroom, but it may have only one bedroom.
  • the number of chambers of the device according to the invention may vary as required.
  • a chamber 2 is delimited by two plates 3, 4 made in a conductive material, preferably metallic, as well as by a spacer 5 for adjusting the spacing between the two plates conductive 3 and 4.
  • These plates are more preferably still of the type DSA (from the acronym "Dimension Stable Anode”).
  • DSA Dission Stable Anode
  • the spacer 5 is an element three-dimensional comprising a central part 6, hollowed out, framed by two end parts 7 and 8 in which are respectively formed a fluid intake inlet 9 and fluid collection outlet 10, which each communicate with the hollowed-out central part 6.
  • the spacer 5 is made of an insulating material, for example a polymer, and more preferably in PEEK (English acronym for PolyEtherEtherKetone). But many other insulating materials can be considered.
  • the embodiment of these spacers depends of the material (s) used: machining and / or welding and / or molding.
  • intake 9 and collection 10 are substantially L-shaped.
  • the conductive plates 3 and 4 preferably have dimensions substantially equal to dimensions of the lateral faces 11 of the spacer 5. Consequently, for allow the introduction of the fluid to be heated in the chamber 6, just as the evacuation from this chamber 6 of the collected and heated fluid, each conductive plate 3, 4 has an opening (or light) 12 in one of its two ends.
  • Each conductive plate constitutes an electrode intended to be supplied with electric current by a circuit suitable for this purpose, not shown, or grounded (as in this example, end plates 3-E and 4-S). This feeding can be done, for example at the level of the lateral tab 13 that each plate has 3, 4.
  • the purpose of the device is to heat the fluid which circulates the interior of the central part 6 of the chamber 2, by Joule effect, the faces side 11 of the spacer are therefore open, so that the fluid can contact (or come to lick) the conductive plates 3 and 4, forming electrodes.
  • the fluid which circulates substantially parallel to the plates, between the intake inlet 9 and the outlet of collection 10 establishes a "connection" between the two conductive plates, if although said fluid gives off heat due to its resistivity.
  • the general supply of the different plates conductive takes place in a "triangle" type mode in which the end plates 3-E and 4-S are respectively earthed while the intermediate plates 3 and 4 are placed at potentials chosen, for example 50 or 100 volts.
  • This mode of current supply is currently preferred.
  • the fluid intake and fluid collection which respectively have plates 3-E and 4-S at the mass, not used to heat the fluid, but to "break" possible current leaks.
  • the power of the device can be, for example, of the order of 6 kW three-phase for a flow of 300 l / h, or 120 kW for a flow of 6000 l / h.
  • each conductive plate 3, 4 is used simultaneously by two successive chambers 6, so that the opening 12 which it comprises in one of its two ends serves both as an intake opening and opening of collection.
  • the spacer always includes a heating chamber 6 supplied by an intake inlet 9 and feeding a collection outlet 10.
  • the parts of the intake inlet 9 and the collection exit 10 which lead into the hollowed out part of the chamber 6, are produced in the form of "divergent" elements, which improves the distribution of the fluid inside the chamber and its collection leaving this room.
  • each spacer has a divergent element 14, 15. It follows that the flow which enters through the intake inlet 9 is subdivided into two substreams. We could also consider superimposing three or more spacers, so as to create three or more fluxes. Well heard, the flows communicate with each other inside the chamber heater 6, so that electric current can flow between the two conductive plates 3 and 4. In this embodiment, in particular, it is possible to provide more than one fluid intake inlet and / or more fluid collection outlets, including for each room.
  • FIG. 5 shows an ohmic heating device assembled using securing means such as tie rods 29 to ends of which are screwed nuts 30.
  • the assembly of plates and spacers is therefore carried out by pressure.
  • the device includes a fluid intake inlet 34 at the first chamber 2 (which includes plate 3-E), and an outlet 20 for the collection of fluid heated at the level of the last chamber 2 (which includes the plate 4-S).
  • the circulation of the fluid inside the device can be either fully alternated (up / down / up / down ...), this which corresponds to a "series" circulation as indicated above, either partially alternating (rising then descending or descending then rising), as illustrated in FIG. 6, which corresponds to a circulation "parallel / series” type.
  • the device comprises a first part which feeds a second part.
  • the first part has three chambers supplied with fluid from above, in parallel, the fluid having circulated in each chamber being collected at the bottom.
  • the second part has three chambers supplied with fluid from the first part, from below, in parallel, the fluid having circulated in each chamber being collected at the top and feeding the output 20 of the device.
  • FIGS. 7A to 7D describe a mode for producing a fluid treatment installation according to the invention.
  • a such invention is particularly interesting in applications where it is firstly necessary to heat a fluid to a given temperature, for example 140 ° C, in order to sterilize or pasteurize it, then secondly to lower its temperature to a second value, less than the first, for example in order to condition it.
  • FIGS. 7A to 7D illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a installation according to the invention in which the device 1 is coupled, in line, to a general heat exchanger 17 with "two stages" (or two parts).
  • the first stage 16 (or first part, or even first exchanger) is used, both to preheat the fluid to be brought to the first temperature by device 1, and pre-cool, to a so-called temperature “intermediate” means the fluid which has just been heated by the device 1.

To cool this precooled fluid, a fourth is provided circuit 33 also constituted by the corrugated stacked plates 24.
