44-45-03-16Page 4Model DR45AHRecorder/ControllerOn the DR45AH recorder, the divertvalve temperature is printed on thechart when Input 1 is programmed asa Digital Reference TemperatureIndicator.When a diversion occurs, the DR45AHrecorder/controller will automaticallyprint on the chart the temperaturemeasured at the divert valve by theDigital Reference Thermometer <strong>and</strong>then, when forward flow is startedagain after the diversion, it will printthe temperature again.In addition, there are red <strong>and</strong> greenindicator lights on the front of therecorder that provide a visualindication of forward flow or flowdiversion.Milk <strong>Pasteurization</strong> ProcessFigure 3 is a flow diagram of the <strong>HTST</strong>milk pasteurization process. Milk flowsfrom the raw milk supply tank throughthe plate-type heat exchanger, whereit is heated to pasteurizationtemperature prior to entering theholding tube.The tube size ensures that the milkremains at the pasteurizationtemperature for the required time.Hot milk temperature is measured as itleaves the holding tube. If thistemperature is above the pasteurizationtemperature, the DR45AH<strong>HTST</strong> allows milk flow to proceed topackaging or storage. If the milk isbelow pasteurization temperature, theDR45AH <strong>HTST</strong> diverts it to the rawmilk tank for reprocessing.For this application, DR45AH <strong>HTST</strong>uses two analog inputs, one digitalinput, one 3-mode controller <strong>and</strong> oneon-off controller to control:• hot water flow to the plate heatexchanger• <strong>Flow</strong> diversion valve position.<strong>Pasteurization</strong> temperature controlconsists of recording the informationshown on the circular chart (Figure 4)<strong>and</strong> implementing the followingstrategies:Model DR45AHRecorder/Controller, continuedMilk <strong>Pasteurization</strong> Process , cont.1. The first analog input is hot watertemperature (if Digital ReferenceTemperature option is selected,then Input 3 is the Hot WaterTemperature) , which indirectlycontrols milk temperature in theplate heat exchanger. Thistemperature may be recorded.2. The hot milk temperature is thesecond analog input. Thistemperature is recorded.The high-precision RTD sensorprovides this temperaturemeasurement. DR45AH <strong>HTST</strong>uses 100-ohm ( α = 0.00385 )platinum bulb actuation to providehot milk temperaturemeasurement accuracy of ±0.3°F3. A switch on the flow diversionvalve provides the digital input toactivate the frequency pen thatrecords the valve position on theouter portion of the chart. The usersupplies <strong>and</strong> installs the two relaysthat connect therecorder/controller to thepasteurizer system wiring.You can also record the flow diversiontemperature setpoint without anadditional analog input.Model DR45ASSafety Thermal Limit RecorderThe DR45AS (<strong>STLR</strong>) model providesall the same features of the DR45AH<strong>HTST</strong> recorder without the integral hotwater control loop.The DR45AS model is set up to recordthe hot milk temperature as well as theflow diversion valve position <strong>and</strong> toindicate this position using red <strong>and</strong>green lights on the front of therecorder.Optionally, it can also be set up withthe integral Digital Reference feature.Model DR45APRecorder/ControllerThe DR45AP <strong>Pasteurization</strong> <strong>Flow</strong>recorder/controller can be set up tocontrol the flow rate in a pasteurizationprocess.In addition to the normal divert valvecontrol provided by high <strong>and</strong> low flowlimit setpoints, optional inputs can beset up to display <strong>and</strong> record the Raw<strong>and</strong> Pasteurized pressures in thesystem.The recorder/controller will display, inthe lower display, the system high <strong>and</strong>low pressures from independentpressure transmitters <strong>and</strong> control thesystem back pressure using thesecond control output from therecorder/controller.In addition, a high-pressure limitoutput can be set.Optional red <strong>and</strong> green lights areavailable on the front of the recorderthat provide a visual indication offorward flow or flow diversion.Milk <strong>Pasteurization</strong> ProcessThe DR45AP controls the flow rate ina pasteurization process (Figure 3).The flow is controlled from the flowinput from a pressure transmitter orMagnetic flowmeter in the constantflow line.The recorder uses PID control <strong>and</strong> a4-20mA output to control a variablespeed pump, which adjusts the flow inthe system.The differential pressure function usespressure inputs from Input 2 <strong>and</strong> Input3 to measure <strong>and</strong> display the high <strong>and</strong>low system pressures (Input 2 – Input3) <strong>and</strong> uses this value <strong>and</strong> the optionalsecond 4-20 mA control output tocontrol the system back pressure.Diverts are based on High <strong>Flow</strong> orLow <strong>Flow</strong> setpoints configured in therecorder/controller. Diversion to theRaw milk tank occurs when the flowrate is below the Low <strong>Flow</strong> setpoint orabove the High flow setpoint.There is a Time Delay that can beconfigured to occur before forwardflow will begin. The configurable rangefor this time delay is from 0 to 60seconds.continued
