[0029] In the embodiment, the first liquid level detection sensor 17 is a tuning fork liquid level detection sensor, and the controller is a PLC module or a single-chip microcomputer or an industrial computer.

[0030] The utility model can realize at least the following working processes:

[0031] When CIP backwashing of the wort heat exchange sheet 1 is required according to the process,

[0032] Firstly, blowdown is performed, the controller controls to open the wort come pipe blowdown valve 10, the wort out pipe blowdown valve 15 and the anti channeling blowdown total valve 18, and to close the wort come valve 6, the wort inlet sheet stop valve 7, the wort out sheet stop valve 11, the wort out valve 12, the CIP backwash return valve 8 and the CIP backwash come valve 13, so as to empty the wort come pipe blowdown pipe 9 and the wort out pipe blowdown pipe 14 and avoid false signals of the first liquid level detection sensor 17 caused by residual liquid;

[0034] The third step is real-time detection by the first liquid level detection sensor 17. When the first liquid level detection sensor 17 detects a liquid level signal output to the controller, it proves that CIP cleaning liquid exists in channeling. The controller automatically closes the CIP backwash return valve 8 and the CIP backwash inlet valve 13 immediately, stops the CIP backwash operation and outputs an alarm, so as to achieve the purpose of detection and control of CIP backwash anti-channeling of the heat exchange sheet during production, and avoid the occurrence of a serious economic loss situation caused by channeling of CIP liquid into wort.

[0035] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the control system further comprises a shunt pipe 19. The pipe diameter of the shunt pipe 19 is 1 / 5 to 1 / 4 of the pipe diameter of the CIP backwash inlet pipe 5. One end of the shunt pipe 19 is connected to the CIP backwash inlet pipe 5 between the CIP backwash inlet valve 13 and the heat exchange wort outlet pipe 4. The other end of the shunt pipe 19 is connected to the CIP backwash return pipe 3 between the CIP backwash return valve 8 and the heat exchange wort inlet pipe 2. The shunt pipe 19 is provided with a shunt valve 20. The controller is electrically connected to the shunt valve 20.

[0036] The CIP backwash inlet pipe 5 between the shunt pipe 19 and the heat exchange wort outlet pipe 4 is provided with a CIP backwash inlet pressure sensor 21. The CIP backwash return pipe 3 between the shunt pipe 19 and the heat exchange wort inlet pipe 2 is provided with a CIP backwash return pressure sensor 22. The controller is electrically connected to the CIP backwash inlet pressure sensor 21 and the CIP backwash return pressure sensor 22.

[0037] When the wort heat exchange sheet 1 backwash starts, the shunt valve 20 opens to shunt a part of the CIP cleaning liquid, so as to prevent the wort heat exchange sheet 1 from being damaged by a larger pressure when there is a blockage. When the detected pressure difference of the CIP backwash inlet pressure sensor 21 and the CIP backwash return pressure sensor 22 meets the requirements, the shunt valve is closed, and all the CIP cleaning liquid passes through the wort heat exchange sheet 1.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the CIP backwash inlet pipe 5 is provided with a preheater 23. The CIP backwash inlet pipe 5 between the preheater 23 and the CIP backwash inlet valve 13 is provided with a temperature sensor 24. The controller is electrically connected to the preheater 23 and the temperature sensor 24.

[0039] Specifically, the preheater 23 comprises an outer tube 25, a center rod 26 is fixedly arranged in the outer tube 25 through a connecting rod 33, an outer wall of the center rod 26 is provided with a spiral blade 27, an outer wall of the outer tube 25 is provided with a heating wire 28, the heating wire 28 is spirally wound on the outer wall of the outer tube 25, two ends of the outer tube 25 are respectively provided with a connecting flange 29, which is used for connecting the CIP backwashing inlet pipe 5, and the controller is electrically connected with the heating wire 28. An outer periphery of the outer tube 25 is provided with a heat insulation layer 30 covering the heating wire 28, so that scalding can be prevented. The CIP cleaning liquid is heated to an optimal temperature through the preheater 23, and is more useful for backwashing and removing blockage.

[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 A second liquid level detection sensor 31 is arranged on the heat exchange wort inlet pipe 2 between the wort inlet thin plate stop valve 7 and the wort inlet pipe blowdown pipe 9, and a third liquid level detection sensor 32 is arranged on the heat exchange wort outlet pipe 4 between the wort outlet thin plate stop valve 11 and the wort outlet pipe blowdown pipe 14, and the controller is electrically connected with the second liquid level detection sensor 31 and the third liquid level detection sensor 32. The second liquid level detection sensor 31 and the third liquid level detection sensor 32 are both tuning fork liquid level detection sensors. By arranging the second liquid level detection sensor 31 and the third liquid level detection sensor 32, it can be more convenient to distinguish whether the CIP cleaning liquid leakage exists in the input end or the output end, that is, which liquid level detection sensor detects a signal, indicating that the CIP cleaning liquid leakage exists in the end.

[0041] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which will not affect the effect and practicality of the present application.
