Electrotechnology of animal colostrum defrosting in two-resonator microwave installations

Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of the plants for defrosting and heating animal colostrum. The idea is that the plant should contain two cavities that provide different levels of an ultra-high frequency electromagnetic field exposure on colostrum, which differs in the aggregate state. A laboratory sample of the plant with conical cavities having a common perfo-rated base was constructed. With the help of the plant the technological parameters of cow colostrum defrosting and heating were processed. Analyzing the developed installations with two resonators, from the point of view of the implementation of the main technological criteria, a design with quasi-stationary toroidal resonators connected by a common perforated base is proposed as the most effective. In the condense parts of both cavities, a high-voltage electric field is fed, which is sufficient for a low-temperature bacterial contamination reduction of the fodder product. The use of an installation for defrosting and heating colostrum of animals on farms in rural area will reduce the heating time, preserve the useful properties of colostrum.
