| Abstract |
In laboratories food treatment with Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) is commonly used these days. Using
this treatment method, the food is pasteurized due to the high electric field and not by heating. Because
of some technical problems this technology is not common used on industrial scale. Scaling the
laboratory treatment installations to an industrial application is one of the main problems. The service
life of the used components is an important aspect. If we want more clearness about the lifetime
expectancy, a good contact with the component designer is necessary. It is also very important that we
can specify the voltage and current rating of the components accurately. To obtain the highest system
performance at minimal costs the development and validation of models is required. For an electric PEF
installation with a VLCS (voltage limited current source), PFN (Pulse Forming Network), thyratron and
pulse transformer models are developed and validated. |
