In the present thesis, analysis of pressure loss in heat exchangers in pasteurizers is presented. For measuring of the pressure losses, measurement system was conceived. Losses were measured on various heat exchangers at different water flow rates. Footprints of heat exchangers surfaces were made and hydraulic diameters were calculated. With calculated Reynolds numbers flow regimes were determined. Empirical model for the calculation of pressure losses was developed for easier selection of the suitable pump. Results were compared and evaluated.
