Abstract
Automatic control for achieving a required temperature of a food product feed stock being heated with steam injection is effected by calculating with at least one computer the required steam flow rate from the measured feed stock temperature, the measured feed stock flow rate, and the measured and required temperature of the feed stock product after steam injection and by controlling the quantity of steam supplied in relation to the deviation between the measured and the required steam flow rates and by controlling the feed stock flow rate in relation to the deviation between the measured and the required feed stock flow rates.
