Abstract

When using mass-produced water-cooling machines, a part of the heat energy being produced during cooling of freshly milked milk is released into the atmosphere. To reduce energy consumption, it is suggested to install in the refrigerating machine heat-exchange equipment between the compressor and condenser, which will allow using the heat of the refrigerant and freshly milked milk for heating water.
