Test Procedure
This image is a Logic Diagram of a Flow Control Device for a computer or
programmable logic controller.
- In Inspect Mode, the Flow Control Device is Off
- In Product Mode, if the temperature is greater than Legal Pasteurization
temperature, a signal goes to the flow control device starter to operate. If
the temperature is not met, a signal is sent by the divert micro switch and the
detect micro switch which signal the fully diverted flow position. The flow
control device starter is then energized. When the pasteurization temperature
goes below the legal pasteurization temperature a time delay relay may be
installed to permit the flow control device to continue operating during the
normal time it takes for the flow diversion device to move from forward flow to
diverted flow ( not more than one second delay).
- In clean in-place mode, there is a 10 minute delay before the clean
in-place operation starts and a signal is sent to the flow control device
starter. If the 10 minute delay is not used when clean in-place is initiated
then no signal can be sent to the flow control device starter.
