Abstract

The invention relates to apparatus for heating/pasteurizing/sterilizing fluids, which comprises a main chamber (1) in which the substance to be heated is brought into direct contact with heating fluid, and a transit chamber (4) in which the substance circulates prior to entering the main chamber, also a tubular element (7) part-contained within the transit chamber and extending forth from within same in order to combine with the transit chamber exit aperture (6) in creating an annular exit collar (10) through which the substance flows in order to reach the main chamber bottom by running down the tubular element side wall; the tubular element and the transit chamber inner wall creating an annular passage (13) immediately up-flow of said exit aperture whose acess-capacity may be adjusted by axial slide of the tubular element thus affording the means by which to regulate flow through the contrivance.
