Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of distillation, and particularly relates to a distillation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing distillation device has problems of low alcohol purity and many impurities in the obtained liquor product.

[0003] Moreover, in the existing distillation device, a reboiler is usually arranged outside the tower body to heat the liquor and then deliver the liquor to the inside of the tower body. The liquor vapor heated by the reboiler enters the inside of the cylinder through the gas inlet on the tower body. Since the position of the gas inlet is single and fixed, the liquor vapor in the inside of the tower body cannot be uniformly distributed in the tower body, thereby resulting in low distillation efficiency and poor quality of the obtained liquor product.

[0004] The reboiler is expensive, and the distillation mode using the reboiler not only increases the cost of distillation, but also increases the overall weight of the distillation device. In addition, since the reboiler heats the liquor first and then delivers the liquor to the tower body, heat loss is inevitable during the delivery process, thereby increasing the energy consumption of the distillation device. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present application aims to provide a distillation device, which is arranged with an anti-blocking flow breaker demister in the containing space to filter the foam in the liquor vapor and improve the quality of the liquor product.

The top of the tower body is provided with a gas outlet to discharge the liquor vapor from the containing space.

[0008] An anti-blocking flow breaker demister is arranged in the containing space and located above the gas inlet. The anti-blocking flow breaker demister is used to filter the foam in the liquor vapor.

[0009] A steam distributor is arranged in the containing space and below the anti-clogging deflector demister, and is in communication with the gas inlet; the steam distributor is provided with a plurality of uniformly distributed air holes on one side of the steam distributor close to the anti-clogging deflector demister; the heating medium exits the steam distributor through the air holes and heats the wine in the containing space; the area of the steam distributor in orthographic projection in the tower body is less than the area of the containing space in orthographic projection in the tower body.

[0010] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the steam distributor is in the shape of a spiral ring.

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the steam distributor comprises a main gas inlet pipe and a plurality of auxiliary gas inlet pipes, the gas inlet end of the main gas inlet pipe is in communication with the gas inlet, the gas outlet end of the main gas inlet pipe is in communication with the gas inlet ends of the plurality of auxiliary gas inlet pipes, and the plurality of auxiliary gas inlet pipes are arranged at a certain angle.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a valve cap is arranged on the air hole, and the inlet flow of the heating medium is controlled by controlling the opening of the throttle in the valve cap.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of notches are arranged on the valve cap away from the outlet end of the air hole and protrude away from the center of the valve cap.

[0014] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the anti-clogging deflector demister comprises:

[0015] A plurality of anti-clogging deflector demister plates are arranged in a transverse direction, and a flow channel is formed between any two adjacent anti-clogging deflector demister plates; the anti-clogging deflector demister plate comprises a plurality of baffle plates connected in sequence, the baffle plate comprises first and second side walls arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and a connecting wall perpendicular to the first and second side walls, the first and second side walls extend in the vertical direction; in one anti-clogging deflector demister plate, the two adjacent baffle plates are arranged in mirror symmetry about the transverse direction.

[0016] A plurality of cleaning pipes are arranged on opposite sides of the anti-clogging deflector demister plate in the vertical direction, and a plurality of uniformly arranged spray heads are arranged on the cleaning pipes, the spray heads face the anti-clogging deflector demister plate to provide cleaning agent to the anti-clogging deflector demister plate.

[0017] In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the first side wall and the second side wall have equal lengths, and the ratio between the sum of the lengths of the first side wall and the second side wall and the length of the connecting wall ranges from 1.5 to 2; and / or,

[0018] The transverse distance between the two connecting walls of two adjacent anti-blocking baffle plates ranges from 200 mm to 300 mm.

[0019] In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting position between the connecting wall and the first side wall and the connecting position between the connecting wall and the second side wall are both formed as a circular arc angle; and / or,

[0023] The technical scheme provided by the example embodiments of the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:

[0024] The example embodiments of the present disclosure set the steam distributor in the containing space, so that the gas holes in the steam distributor can make the heat supply medium evenly enter the containing space, and thus the wine liquid at the bottom of the containing space can be evenly heated, thereby improving the stability of the distillation process of the distillation equipment.

[0025] Moreover, compared with the technical scheme of setting a reboiler outside the tower body to heat the wine liquid raw material, the heat supply medium in the present disclosure directly contacts and exchanges heat with the wine liquid raw material at the bottom of the containing space, which not only can supplement the heat transfer to evaporate the light components in the wine liquid, but also can directly use the kinetic energy of the heat supply medium to strip the light component products, thereby more efficiently stripping the high-concentration wine liquid products. At the same time, the direct contact heat exchange method can also reduce the heat loss of the heat supply medium and the wine liquid raw material in the heat exchange process, thereby improving the distillation rate and reducing energy consumption and distillation cost.

[0026] In addition, the present disclosure can reduce the number of heat supply devices, such as reboilers, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the distillation device. Furthermore, when the heat supply medium is pure water vapor, the heat supply medium can dilute the liquor raw material, thereby reducing the concentration of the distillation residue at the bottom of the containing space, so as to reduce the difficulty of processing the distillation residue after the distillation is completed.

[0027] Other features and advantages of the present application will become apparent from the following detailed description, or will be learned by practice of the present application.

[0028] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the application, as claimed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Example implementations may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these implementations are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of example implementations to those skilled in the art.

In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the application. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the

[0045] The application will be further described with reference to the drawings and specific examples. It is to be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely exemplary and that the application is not limited to the specific examples described. In the following description, numerous specific details are discussed to provide a thorough and complete description of embodiments of the present application. One skilled in the relevant art, however, will recognize that the application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring the application.

[0046] Whisky, vodka, rum and other spirits are a kind of grain or molasses brewed in oak barrels after years of aging, and then blended into 43-60 degrees or so of strong distillate. The British call it "water of life".

[0047] The current distillation equipment distills new wine with low alcohol content and contains excess impurities, which is not suitable for application in the field of condiments and flavoring wine as base liquor.

[0048] Moreover, the current distillation equipment usually utilizes a reboiler to heat the wine liquid to form wine liquid vapor, which is then transported into the tower body for distillation. The position where the wine liquid vapor enters the tower body is single and fixed, and the wine liquid vapor in the tower body often cannot be uniformly distributed in the tower body, thereby resulting in low distillation efficiency and poor quality of the obtained wine liquid product.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 The present disclosure provides a distillation equipment 1, which can include a tower body, a anti-clogging flow breaker demister 4, and a vapor distributor 3.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the tower body can be surrounded to form an accommodation space, and the bottom of the accommodation space can be used to hold liquid medium such as wine liquid (i.e., wine raw material). The bottom of the tower body is provided with an air inlet 211, which is located above the wine liquid for the entry of a heating medium. The top of the tower body is provided with an air outlet 212 for discharging wine liquid vapor from the accommodation space.

[0051] In some embodiments, the tower body can include a body 21, an upper cover 22, and a lower cover 23. The body 21 can be a cylindrical structure extending along the vertical direction Y, and the top surface and the bottom surface of the body 21 are provided with through holes. The upper cover 22 covers the top surface of the body 21 to encapsulate the top surface of the body 21. The lower cover 23 covers the bottom surface of the body 21 to encapsulate the bottom surface of the body 21.

[0052] The air inlet 211 can be arranged at one end of the body 21 close to the lower cover 23. The air outlet 212 can be arranged at one end of the upper cover 22 away from the body 21.

[0053] In some embodiments, the heating medium can be pure water vapor, but is not limited thereto, and the present disclosure can also use other gaseous media other than water vapor to heat the wine raw material held in the tower body.

[0054] In some embodiments, the vapor distributor 3 is arranged in the accommodation space and below the anti-clogging flow breaker demister 4. The vapor distributor 3 is in communication with the air inlet 211, and a plurality of uniformly distributed air holes 31 are arranged on the vapor distributor 3. The heating medium enters the accommodation space through the vapor distributor 3 and exits the vapor distributor 3 through the air holes 31, thereby heating the wine liquid in the accommodation space.

[0055] The embodiments of the present disclosure arrange the vapor distributor 3 in the accommodation space, so that the heating medium can directly and uniformly enter the accommodation space through the air holes 31 in the vapor distributor 3, thereby uniformly heating the wine raw material at the bottom of the accommodation space, and improving the stability of the distillation process of the distillation equipment 1.

[0056] Compared with the technical solution of heating the wine raw material by arranging a reboiler outside the column body, the heat supply medium in the present disclosure directly contacts and exchanges heat with the wine raw material at the bottom of the containing space, which not only can supplement heat to evaporate the light components in the wine, but also can directly use the kinetic energy of the heat supply medium to strip the light component product, so as to more efficiently strip the high-concentration wine product. At the same time, the direct contact heat exchange mode can also reduce the heat loss of the heat supply medium and the wine raw material during heat exchange, thereby improving the distillation rate and reducing energy consumption and distillation cost.

[0057] In addition, the present disclosure can also reduce the arrangement of heat supply equipment such as a reboiler, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the distillation equipment 1. Furthermore, when the heat supply medium is pure water vapor, the heat supply medium can play a role in diluting the wine raw material, thereby reducing the concentration (such as COD value) of the distillation residue at the bottom of the containing space, so as to reduce the difficulty of processing the distillation residue after distillation.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 1, the gas hole 31 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be located on the side of the steam distributor 3 close to the anti-blocking baffle demister 4. Figure 2

[0059] In some embodiments, the area of the orthographic projection of the steam distributor 3 in the column body is smaller than the area of the orthographic projection of the containing space in the column body, so as to facilitate the contact between the heat supply medium and the wine raw material, and to facilitate the wine vapor formed by vaporization to rise to the top of the column body through the steam distributor 3.

[0060] It should be noted that the orthographic projection of the steam distributor 3 in the column body refers to the orthographic projection of the steam distributor 3 in the vertical direction Y. For reference, FIG. 3 shows a top view of the steam distributor 3, which is also a structure schematic view of the orthographic projection of the steam distributor 3 in the column body. Figure 3 Figure 3 is a top view of the steam distributor 3, which is also a structure schematic view of the orthographic projection of the steam distributor 3 in the column body.

[0061] In some embodiments, the steam distributor 3 can be in a spiral ring shape.

[0062] For example, the ring structure of the steam distributor 3 closest to the inner wall of the column body can be arranged with a spacing between the ring structure and the inner wall of the column body, but is not limited thereto. The ring structure of the steam distributor 3 closest to the inner wall of the column body can also be attached to the inner wall of the column body, so as to facilitate the connection between the steam distributor 3 and the column body.

[0063] ​​In some embodiments, the steam distributor 3 can include one main air inlet pipe 32 and a plurality of auxiliary air inlet pipes 33, the air inlet end of the main air inlet pipe 32 is in communication with the air inlet 211, the air outlet end of the main air inlet pipe 32 is in communication with the air inlet end of the plurality of auxiliary air inlet pipes 33 respectively, and the plurality of auxiliary air inlet pipes 33 are arranged at a certain angle. The heat medium enters the containing space through the main air inlet pipe 32 and is distributed at the air outlet end of the main air inlet pipe 32.

[0064] For example, as shown in Figure 3 The main air inlet pipe 32 and the auxiliary air inlet pipe in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the plurality of auxiliary air inlet pipes 33 can be arranged at the same angle, at this time, the main air inlet pipe 32 and the plurality of auxiliary air inlet pipes 33 are uniformly arranged in the containing space, and the heat medium can enter the containing space uniformly through the steam distributor 3, so as to improve the stability of distillation.

[0065] In some embodiments, a valve cap 34 can be arranged on the air hole 31, and by controlling the opening degree of the throttle hole in the valve cap 34, the air inlet flow of the heat medium can be controlled.

[0066] Specifically, when the distillation rate of the wine raw material in the distillation equipment 1 is slow, the opening degree of the throttle hole in the valve cap 34 can be increased to speed up the heat medium entering the containing space, thereby improving the distillation rate of the wine raw material. Similarly, when the distillation rate of the wine raw material in the distillation equipment 1 is too fast, the opening degree of the throttle hole in the valve cap 34 can be reduced to slow down the heat medium entering the containing space, thereby reducing the distillation rate of the wine raw material.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the top surface of the valve cap 34 close to the top surface of the anti-blocking flow breaker 4 can be slightly higher than the top surface of the steam distributor 3 close to the top surface of the anti-blocking flow breaker 4.

[0068] It should be noted that when the heat medium enters the steam distributor 3, the air flow of the heat medium is large, and the present disclosure can make the top surface of the valve cap 34 higher than the top surface of the steam distributor 3, so as to reduce the air pressure of the heat medium when it leaves the steam distributor 3, thereby making the heat medium more gently contact with the wine raw material and the tower body after entering the containing space, so as to improve the stability of the distillation process, and reduce the impact force of the heat medium with too large air pressure on the tower body, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the tower body.

[0069] As shown in Figure 4 In some embodiments, the present disclosure can be provided with connecting pieces 36 on the opposite ends of the outer wall of the valve cap 34, and the valve cap 34 can be connected with the steam distributor 3 through the connecting pieces 36.

[0070] In some embodiments, a plurality of notches 35 can be arranged on the outlet end of the valve cap 34 away from the air hole 31, which protrude away from the center of the valve cap 34.

[0071] As shown in Figure 4 , the notch 35 provided at the outlet end of the bonnet 34 can be sawtooth-shaped. When the heating medium passes through the bonnet 34 and leaves the steam distributor 3, the heating medium can spread outward through the notch 35, thereby increasing the spreading range of the heating medium in the containing space, improving the uniformity of the distribution of the heating medium in the containing space, and enabling the liquor raw material to fully contact the heating medium, thereby improving the stability of the distillation process.

[0072] It should be noted that the raw material of the currently rectified whiskey, vodka and other spirits is corn grain, and the raw material is gelatinized. After gelatinization, it becomes corn paste, which is similar to corn gruel. After being heated and boiled to the boiling point by steam, a serious foaming phenomenon occurs during the rectification and separation process, resulting in entrainment of mist. The steam will carry the particulate matter upward and attach to any area in the tower. After a certain period of accumulation, it will cause the subsequent distillation structure, such as pipeline, valve, heat exchanger, etc. to be blocked, or cause the tower tray in the tower body to carry excessive solid particles, which will in turn cause the tower tray to collapse and the separation efficiency of the distillation equipment to be reduced, thereby causing the product to be substandard.

[0073] To solve the above technical problems, as shown in Figure 1 , the anti-blocking flow demister 4 is provided in the containing space, and the anti-blocking flow demister 4 is located above the gas inlet 211.

[0074] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 , in some embodiments, the anti-blocking flow demister 4 can include a plurality of anti-blocking flow demister plates 41, and the plurality of anti-blocking flow demister plates 41 can be arranged in a transverse X direction. A flow passage 42 is formed between any two adjacent anti-blocking flow demister plates 41.

[0075] For example, the spacing between any two adjacent anti-blocking flow demister plates 41 can be equal.

[0076] In the present disclosure, the anti-blocking flow demister plate 41 can include a plurality of baffles 43 connected in sequence. The baffle 43 can include a first side wall 431 and a second side wall 432, and a connecting wall 433. The first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432 extend in the vertical direction Y. The connecting wall 433 is arranged perpendicularly to the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432, and the connecting wall 433 is connected to the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432. As shown in Figure 6 , in one anti-blocking flow demister plate 41, the two adjacent baffles 43 can be arranged in mirror symmetry about the transverse direction X.

[0077] Specifically, as shown in Figure 7 , the anti-blocking flow demister plate 41 can include a plurality of baffles 43 connected in sequence. The baffle 43 can include a first side wall 431 and a second side wall 432, and a connecting wall 433. The first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432 extend in the vertical direction Y. The connecting wall 433 is arranged perpendicularly to the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432, and the connecting wall 433 is connected to the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432. As shown inAs shown, one end of the connecting wall 433 in the lateral direction X can be connected to the first side wall 431 near the bottom of the second side wall 432, and the other end of the connecting wall 433 in the lateral direction X can be connected to the second side wall 432 near the top of the first side wall 431.

[0078] The anti-clogging baffle demister 4 can filter and remove the foam entrained in the wine vapor formed by vaporization of the wine raw material, thereby reducing the risk of subsequent distillation structure being blocked by the foam after the wine vapor is distilled.

[0079] At the same time, the anti-clogging baffle demister 4 can also reduce the risk of solid impurities being distilled with the vapor, thereby causing the subsequent distillation structure to be blocked, or causing the subsequent distillation structure to collapse and be damaged due to a large amount of solid impurities accumulated on the subsequent distillation structure, thereby ensuring the distillation effect of the distillation equipment 1 and prolonging the service life of the distillation equipment 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432 can be equal.

[0081] For example, the ratio between the sum of the lengths of the first side wall 431 and the second side wall 432 and the length of the connecting wall 433 can be in the range of 1.5-2, so that the vapor can flow smoothly in the flow passage 42, and the foam and solid impurities can be separated from the vapor by the anti-clogging baffle demister 41, thereby reducing the risk of the subsequent distillation structure being blocked or damaged, and improving the purity of the product obtained by distillation.

[0082] In some embodiments, the distance between the two connecting walls 433 in the lateral direction X in adjacent two anti-clogging baffle demisters 41 can be in the range of 200mm-300mm.

[0083] For example, the distance between the connecting wall 433 in one anti-clogging baffle demister 41 and the connecting wall 433 in another adjacent anti-clogging baffle demister 41 in the lateral direction X can be 200mm, 210mm, 220mm, 230mm, 240mm, 250mm, 260mm, 270mm, 280mm, 290mm, 300mm, etc., but is not limited thereto, and the distance between the connecting walls 433 in adjacent two anti-clogging baffle demisters 41 in the lateral direction X can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0084] This embodiment limits the distance in the transverse X direction between the connecting walls 433 in two adjacent anti-clogging baffles 41 to avoid the problem that the steam flow rate in the flow channel 42 is too low due to the short distance, which would affect the distillation efficiency. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem that a large amount of foam and solid impurities cannot contact the baffle 43 due to the excessive distance, and that a large amount of foam and solid impurities are directly distilled into the subsequent distillation structure with the steam. This can reduce the risk of blockage and damage to the subsequent distillation structure and improve the purity of the distilled product.

[0085] It should be noted that the alcohol concentration of the wine product obtained after distillation by the distillation equipment 1 in this disclosure can reach more than 90%.

[0086] In some embodiments, rounded corners can be formed at the connection positions between the connecting wall 433 and the first side wall 431, and at the connection positions between the connecting wall 433 and the second side wall 432, to reduce dead corners in the anti-clogging baffle demister 41, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the anti-clogging baffle demister 41.

[0087] In some embodiments, the multiple baffles 43 in an anti-clogging baffle demister 41 can be detachably connected, so that the baffles 43 can be arbitrarily assembled and disassembled according to parameters such as the size of the accommodating space and the flow rate of steam in the column. In addition, after the distillation of the distillation equipment 1 is completed, the multiple baffles 43 can be disassembled, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the baffles 43.

[0088] However, this is not the only option. In this embodiment, the multiple baffles 43 can also be connected by welding, or the anti-clogging baffle demister 41 can be integrally formed, depending on the actual situation.

[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the anti-clogging baffle demister 4 may also include multiple connecting plates 44, and the multiple anti-clogging baffle demister plates 41 can be connected by the connecting plates 44 to improve the overall structural strength of the anti-clogging baffle demister 4 and enhance the stability of the installation of the multiple anti-clogging baffle demister plates 41 in the anti-clogging baffle demister 4.

[0090] For example, when the length of the anti-clogging baffle demister 4 in the transverse X direction is greater than or equal to 800 mm, multiple connecting plates 44 can be set in the anti-clogging baffle demister 4. The connecting plates 44 can be connected to the inner wall of the tower body, thereby strengthening the stability of the connection between the anti-clogging baffle demister 4 and the tower body and reducing the risk of separation between the anti-clogging baffle demister 4 and the tower body.

[0091] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first sidewall 431 and the second sidewall 432, which are directly connected in the vertical Y direction, can also be installed on the same connecting plate 44, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the multiple baffles 43.

[0092] In some embodiments, the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41 can be made of pure copper, so that the methyl sulfide in the wine liquid can be replaced by reaction to purify the unpleasant odor carried by the sulfide in the wine liquid and improve the flavor of the obtained wine product after distillation.

[0093] As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the anti-clogging flow demister 4 can further include a plurality of cleaning pipes 45 arranged on opposite sides of the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41 in the vertical direction Y. The cleaning pipes 45 are provided with a plurality of uniformly arranged spray heads facing the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41 for providing cleaning agent to the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41. Figure 5 It should be noted that the cleaning agent sprayed by the spray head can be clean water, but is not limited thereto, and the cleaning agent can also be other materials other than water.

[0094] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide the cleaning pipes 45 arranged on opposite sides of the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41 in the vertical direction Y for spraying cleaning agent to the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41, thereby achieving cleaning of the anti-clogging flow demister plate 41, avoiding clogging of the flow passage 42 by solid impurities or foam, and ensuring normal use of the anti-clogging flow demister 4.

[0095] As shown in FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the accommodation space can further be provided with a plurality of trays 5 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction Y, the trays 5 being located between the anti-clogging flow demister 4 and the gas outlet 212 and connected to the inner side wall of the tower body.

[0096] Figure 1 During distillation, the trays 5 provide an effective contact surface for the gas-liquid two-phase of the wine liquid, so that different components in the wine liquid can be effectively separated during distillation, thereby improving the quality of the obtained wine product. In addition, by arranging the anti-clogging flow demister 4 below the trays 5 in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the foam and solid impurities entrained in the steam can be filtered and removed, thereby reducing the risk of the foam and solid impurities distilling onto the trays 5 and causing the trays 5 to collapse.

[0097] In some embodiments, two anti-clogging flow demisters 4 can be arranged in the accommodation space, the two anti-clogging flow demisters 4 being located between the gas inlet 211 and the gas outlet 212, and one of the two anti-clogging flow demisters 4 being located at the top of the tower body and the other being located at the bottom of the tower body.
