Abstract: The present specification describes a tubular heat exchanger (1) comprising a tubular sleeve (2); a first plurality of tubes (3a) carrying a heat transfer fluid which are located inside the tubular sleeve (2); at least one diaphragm (4) located inside the tubular sleeve (2) which divides the interior of the sleeve (2) into at least two chambers, where said diaphragm comprises a central hole (4a) configured for allowing the passage of the product, and where said diaphragm (4) comprises a plurality of holes (4b) configured for allowing the passage of the first plurality of tubes (3a); and a piston (5) comprising a tubular shaft (5a) and at least two plates (6) perpendicular to the tubular shaft (5a); where said tubular shaft (5a) is configured for performing a longitudinal reciprocating movement through the central hole (4a) of said at least one diaphragm (4); improving the heat transfer of the exchanger object of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine for heat exchange with a product including a vat, with a first end, a second end and an outer surface, for containing the product to be treated, a shaft, at least one element for heating or cooling a product and for being coupled in the shaft and at least one scraper blade. The machine for heat exchange with a product additionally includes a plurality of separators configured to be coupled in the shaft, at least one separator being located between two contiguous elements. Between two contiguous elements there may be located inner scraper blades anchored in structures fixed to the shaft of the machine at their ends, which in their rotation movement will scrape the outer surfaces of the elements and separators. Additionally, outer scraper blades may be arranged between the structures and the vat to scrape the inner surface of said vat.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly comprises a tubular casing (1) housing product conduit pipe (8) and a rod (14) extending through each pipe (8). The rod (14) being reciprocatingly moveable along the pipe (8) and having a scraping means (15) projecting from it such that upon reciprocation of the rod (14) within the pipe (8) the scraping means (15) will scrape product residues from the inner walls of the product conduit (8), allowing improved heat transfer to be achieved whilst the assembly continues to operate.
