Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquor brewing equipment, in particular to a distillation device which is beneficial to improving the solubility of ethyl acetate. Background Art

[0002] Ethyl acetate can dissolve most of the acidity in the original wine, making the wine taste more delicious and mellow. It is an important aroma substance in liquor. Properly increasing the content of ethyl acetate in the liquor during the liquor brewing process can improve the quality of the liquor. However, in actual winemaking and fermentation, the content of ethyl acetate in the base wine is easily affected by factors such as koji, raw materials, seasons and fermentation process control, resulting in insufficient content, which affects the stability of the liquor quality. The existing method of increasing the content of ethyl acetate is mainly to add seasoning liquid, which is easy to lose the purity and natural characteristics of the raw materials. A better method is to increase the solubility of ethyl acetate by adjusting the brewing process.

[0003] The liquor distillation process is a key process in the liquor brewing process. It mainly separates alcohol by heating the fermented liquid, evaporating the alcohol and collecting it through condensation. Ethyl acetate is slightly soluble in water and soluble in ethanol. Its solubility decreases as the alcohol content and temperature decrease. To increase the solubility of ethyl acetate, the alcohol content and temperature need to be increased during the distillation of liquor. However, because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, alcohol is easier to evaporate than water, and too high a temperature will reduce the alcohol content. It is necessary to design a distillation device that can effectively control the distillation temperature and alcohol content. The patent with publication number CN219091116U provides a distillation device and a distillation system that are beneficial to improving the solubility of ethyl caproate. By controlling the segmented feeding with an alcohol concentration sensor, the decline of the alcohol concentration in the distillation device is controlled to a certain extent; and the temperature is controlled between 80 and 90 degrees using a temperature sensor and a temperature controller. However, although the distillation device can control the distillation temperature and alcohol content, there is still a problem that the raw materials after segmented addition are all deposited together in the raw material chamber of the distillation device, which makes it inconvenient to remove the distilled waste residue in time and is not conducive to timely replacement of materials to increase the alcohol content.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a distillation equipment that can change materials in time to increase the alcohol content and help improve the solubility of ethyl acetate. Utility Model Content
