Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the problems of a batch-type sterilizer and design a continuous sterilizer to control the temperature deviation. The temperature deviation is analyzed with respect to design parameters such as a nozzle diameter, hole diameter, and nozzle length. The significant temperature parameters are optimized using the response surface methodology. An experimental apparatus is developed using the optimized design parameters. Using a field test, we show that the target temperature is obtained in about 7.3 minutes and the temperature deviation is improved about $0.84^{\circ}C$. The optimized parameters from the test are equal to the analytical parameters.

본 논문에서는 배치식 살균기의 문제점을 분석하여 연속 살균기를 모델링하고 설계하였으며 온도편차를 제어하였다. 살균기의 노즐 직경, 홀 직경, 노즐 길이 등의 설계 파라미터를 이용하여 온도를 해석하였다. 살균기의 온도편차에 중요한 노즐 직경, 제트박스의 직경, 노즐의 홀 피치 등의 설계 파라미터를 반응표면분석법에 의하여 최적화하였다. 그리고 본 연구에서 제안한 설계 파라미터를 이용하여 살균기의 실험장치를 개발하여 온라인으로 테스트를 실시하였다. 온라인 테스트 결과 목표온도까지 상승하는데 약 7.3 min 소요되었고 온도편차는 약 $0.84^{\circ}C$로 양호하였으며 해석적으로 최적화를 실시한 결과와 동일한 최적조건을 도출하였다.
