Abstract

A container for homogenizing and heating or cooling a liquid working medium is disclosed. The container includes a tubular heat exchanger disposed in the interior space of the container, with the liquid working medium flowing through flow-through tubes of the heat exchanger that are in contact with a heat-exchange medium, A cup-shaped baffle which Is formed of a partition wall and a cover secured to an end of the partition wall proximate to the medium outlet of the flow-through tubes surrounds the heat exchanger and subdivides the interior space of the container between the tubular heat exchanger and the container wall in at least two concentric annular spaces, with each of the concentric annular spaces containing the working medium. The container is suitable for homogenization and heating of polyol components in a polyurethane injection molding apparatus.
