A method and a device for leading media in a thermal treatment system for a liquid product where, determining the led-in volume of the expelling medium while a medium is being expelled from the treatment system and by setting the determined volume of the expelling medium in a ratio to a nominal capacity of the treatment system, the shutting off of a product pipe on the outlet side following a medium change on the inlet side can be accomplished independent in time of the performance of the medium change on the inlet side. This reduces product losses and permits the treatment of residual amounts remaining in the treatment system.

1. Method of leading media through a thermal treatment system for a liquid product (P), comprising: a) expelling a first aqueous medium from the treatment system through a product pipe on the outlet side with a second aqueous medium, wherein a medium boundary between the first aqueous medium and the second aqueous medium is generated and the second aqueous medium pushes the medium boundary and the first aqueous medium downstream of the medium boundary through the treatment system, and wherein the volume of the second aqueous medium led into the treatment system in the process is determined;b) shutting off the product pipe on the outlet side, so that the second aqueous medium cannot flow into the product pipe, wherein a trigger (TS2) for shutting off the product pipe on the outlet side is calculated on the basis of the volume determined in step a) and a nominal capacity (VB) of the treatment system; andthe first aqueous medium is the product (P) and the second aqueous medium is water (W). 2. The method according to claim 1, and by changing over the medium supply into the treatment system from the first aqueous medium to the second aqueous medium, a volume measurement of the second aqueous medium led into the treatment system is started. 3. The method according to claim 2, and a first marker (M1) assigned to a changeover of the medium supply into the treatment system is generated if the second aqueous medium is the product (P), and/or a second marker (M2) is generated if the second aqueous medium is water (W), to assign the start of volume measurement to the respective medium (P, W). 4. The method according to claim 3, and a signal generator generates at least one of the first and second marker (M1, M2). 5. The method according to claim 1, and the volume (VP, VW) determined in step a) is compared to the nominal capacity (VB) of the treatment system, or a ratio to the latter is calculated to determine the position of a transition area from the first to the second aqueous medium in the treatment system. 6. The method according to claim 1, and a supply rate (R1) to a degassing unit provided in the treatment system is set to be lower than a discharge rate (R2) away from the degassing unit, in order to lower the filling level (F) of the first aqueous medium in the degassing unit to a predetermined minimum value (FT2) at a point in time when the second aqueous medium reaches an entrance of the degassing unit. 7. The method according to claim 6, and the supply rate (R1) is set to be higher than the discharge rate (R2) while the second aqueous medium is flowing into the degassing unit in order to raise the filling level (F) of the second aqueous medium to a desired filling level (FS2) in the degassing unit. 8. The method according to claim 6, and the setting of the supply rate (R1) to be lower than the discharge rate (R2) is during a medium change. 9. The method according to claim 1, and the volume of the second aqueous medium is determined in the form of a continuous volume count. 10. The method of claim 1, and the volume is determined in step a) by means of a volume measuring means for measuring a liquid volume led through the treatment system. 11. The method according to claim 1, and the product pipe is shut off in step b) by means of a shut off means for shutting off or opening the product pipe on the outlet side. 12. The method according to claim 11, and a trigger device sets the shut off means to a closed state. 13. The method according to claim 1, and the liquid product is a beverage. 14. Method of leading media through a thermal treatment system for a liquid product (P), comprising: a) expelling a first aqueous medium from the treatment system with a second aqueous medium, through a water outlet leading to a water circuit or a gully, wherein a medium boundary between the first aqueous medium and the second aqueous medium is generated and the second aqueous medium pushes the medium boundary and the first aqueous medium downstream of the medium boundary through the treatment system, and wherein the volume of the second aqueous medium led into the treatment system in the process is determined;c) opening a product pipe on the outlet side, so that the second aqueous medium can flow into the product pipe, where a trigger (TS1) for opening the product pipe on the outlet side is calculated on the basis of the volume determined in step a) and a nominal capacity (VB) of the treatment system; andthe first aqueous medium is water (W) and the second aqueous medium is the product (P). 15. The method according to claim 14, and the introduced volume (VP) of the product (P) is smaller than the nominal capacity (VB) of the treatment system. 16. The method according to claim 14, and a step d) following step c), comprising: the product (P) flows through the treatment system;defining a first operating state by a state before a first interruption of the product flow in a downstream production system;defining a second operating state by a state after the first interruption of the product flow in the downstream production system;filling a product return pipe for returning treated product into an entrance area of the treatment system with water (W) in the first operating state;expelling the water (W) from the product return pipe by the product (P) when the product flow is interrupted; andfilling the product return pipe with product (P) in the second operating state. 17. Method according to claim 16, and one marker (M3, M4) is assigned each to the first and the second operating state to either first expel water (W) from the product return pipe or return product (P) during the interruption of the product flow in the downstream production system. 18. The method according to claim 14, and the volume of the second aqueous medium is determined in the form of a continuous volume count. 19. The method according to claim 14, and the product pipe is opened in step b) by means of a shut off means for shutting off or opening the product pipe on the outlet side. 20. The method according to claim 19, wherein a trigger device sets the shut off means to an opened state. 21. The method according to claim 14, and the liquid product is a beverage. 22. The method of claim 14, and the volume is determined in step a) by means of a volume measuring means for measuring a liquid volume led through the treatment system.
