The use of the HTST Differential Pressure Switch is shown in a typical HTST (High Tempera-
ture Short Time) pasteurizing system in Figure 2. When a Booster Pump is utilized to supple-
ment the Timing Pump, requirements include the installation of a Differential Pressure Switch
as shown. The switch senses the pressure differential in a regenerator between raw (cold) and
pasteurized (hot) product, to assure that pasteurized product pressure is at least one (1) psi
greater than raw product pressure, so that any internal leakage in the Regenerator will not
inadvertently contaminate the pasteurized product. Should the pressure differential fall below
the switch set point, the switch must shut off the Booster Pump.
A manual or automatic Back Pressure Valve (located before or after the Vacuum Breaker) is
frequently utilized to develop additional pressure on the pasteurized product side.
