Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid-state distillation technology of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and particularly relates to a method for monitoring the internal temperature of the still and constructing an internal temperature field. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of automated equipment in the liquor industry and the continuous improvement of brewing processes, especially the improvement of distillation equipment, the heat and mass transfer effects inside the still have been improved, the distillation efficiency has been increased, and the output and quality of distilled liquor have been improved. However, there is still little research on the changes in the mash during the liquor distillation process.
[0003] Currently, wineries are gradually shifting towards full automation, and are paying more and more attention to collecting various parameters during the production process. In particular, there has never been a good method for collecting internal temperature data during the still distillation process.
[0004] The traditional method involves manually inserting the thermometer into the mash at different depths at intervals during the steaming process to record and analyze the temperature changes inside the steamer at that moment. However, this manual method can only collect data from one point at a time, which is too labor-intensive, and the local temperature data cannot accurately reflect the temperature distribution of the entire surface of the mash. While infrared thermometry can detect the temperature of the entire surface of the mash, its limitation is that it can only detect the surface of the mash and cannot explore the internal information. Furthermore, the infrared thermometer stops working after the steaming process is completed. Summary of the Invention
