Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of storage tanks, specifically, it relates to a storage tank for alcohol-water mixture raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] An alcohol-water mixture refers to a liquid mixture formed by the miscibility of alcohols (such as ethanol) and water in any proportion. Alcohols and water can mix in any ratio to form a homogeneous and stable liquid; this property is called miscibility. For example, when ethanol (commonly known as alcohol) and water are mixed, they retain their respective physical properties without any chemical reaction. Storage tanks are commonly used containers for storing ethanol, mainly in food processing (such as beer brewing), pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Storage tanks are typically made of stainless steel, such as 304 or 316L models, and the tank body has good thermal conductivity. Because alcohols are volatile, ethanol stored in storage tanks is greatly affected by the external environment.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
