Diseño de un Liofilizador para mora de castilla previo a su industrialización en la comunidad Corazón de Jesús de la parroquia Punin.

Abstract

The design of a freeze castile mulberry prior to industrialization in the Heart of Jesus community at Punin parish was performed in order to use the knowledge in unit operations to perform work in connection with the community you want to incur industrialization mulberry castile to avoid losses in the harvest of it, to realize the design was revised literature extensively related to the subject to perform the necessary calculations, then an experience of drying was performed in the laboratory to data acquisition mulberry drying. As result was obtained dimensioning the cylindrical chamber will Lyophilizer with an outer diameter of 0,84 m and a length of 1,21 m, 6 trays 0,35 m wide and 1,10 m long; requirements as to heat the computer must work 1857, 59 kW power and a refrigerant flow 0,40 kg/s for the freezing step and a power of 40 kW for sublimation step and the heat flow to be withdraw from the condenser coils is 480,55 kW. The research led us to design the lyophilization equipment in the first instance obtaining the critical process variables such as temperature, to be from -50°C to the freezing step and 60 °C in the sublimation step, and the pressure to be 0,01 mmHg reach this value as the drying rate goes through a maximum. The builder of the equipment is recommended to implement the proposed design and the same operators not exceed the temperature ranges of equipment that are -50°C to 60°C.
