LOW COST COOLING
• *
From the Dairy Co-op Bulletin, Portland,
Oregon, we glean some helpful information
on Low Cost Cooling systems for milk.
The small producer is often baffled by his
cooling problems. Coolers cost money and
the producer with only a few cows cannot
afford to invest in costly cooling.
A good job Of cooling can be done with vats
and barrels, if properly set up. It must
be remembered, when barrels or vats are
used, a sufficient supply of cold water is
required to carry off the heat units in the
milk.
So ifiany fail to to do a ggod job of cool^*
ing, oven when considerable amounts of ••
water is used. Arrangements must be'mado
to properly carry off the warm water, so
that fresh cold water can circulate around
the cans. If the job of cooling is proper
ly done, the milk temperature should bo
within two or three degrees of the water
temperature.
Heat rises and cold goes downward. To add
water to the cooling vat at or near the
overflow only circulates the water in that
particular area. If water is added through
pipes in the bottom and overflows at the*
top, the heat will be easily carried off.
The most efficient mothod is to admit the
water into the vat or tank through holes
(1/8 inch) bored in a length of pipe across
the bottom of the vat at about tho center.
V7ith the overflow at the top, an even dis
tribution of water can be made.
If rater is admitted into one place it '
should be at the bottom in the opposite
ond of the overflow. This pormits the’
uator to move naturally across and out*
Somo have usod a small diameter pipo drill
ed uith about 1/8 inch holes and shaped to
fit around the neck of'the can. The ond
of the pipe is plugged, the uator escaping
through the holes flouing dorm over the
outside of the can. This uorks surprising
ly roll. If a barrel is usod, it should
be sauod off so that tho can top is above
tho barrel top. Tho hose should be put in
tho bottom so that the uator flous upuard.
Shallou tubs of- vats never can do a good
job of cooling, simply because tho uator
only ccmos in contact uith the louor part
of tho can.
Proporly cooled milk shuus a bettor butter
fat test as uoll as bettor quality. It is
in tho hotter grados of milk that bettor
prices tiro realized,, Good cleaning and
good cooling makes better grades of milk.
