Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing distillation, and in particular to a steam separation device for brewing distillation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In brewing, distillation plays a decisive role in the quality and yield of the spirit. Among the components, the still, as a key piece of equipment, significantly influences the entire distillation process through its design and performance. Currently, the stills and related equipment used in the brewing industry face numerous problems that urgently need to be addressed.

[0003] In traditional brewing distillation equipment, the top lid of the still typically employs a single-structure design, lacking an efficient management and control mechanism. This results in a higher proportion of water vapor in the water-vapor mixture (which includes both water vapor and alcohol vapor) within the still, reducing distillation efficiency, increasing production costs, and making it difficult to ensure complete distillation of the liquor, leading to inconsistent quality. Furthermore, when the grain packing material within the still is unevenly distributed, significant differences in steam generation rates occur in localized areas. For example, slow evaporation in high-density areas further exacerbates heat transfer imbalances and steam distribution fluctuations, affecting distillation stability. Utility Model Content

By utilizing the difference in boiling points between water and alcohol, the alcohol vapor in the distillation process is enriched, the steam is effectively utilized, and the distillation effect is improved.

[0007] Preferably, the condensation component is a condenser tube, and both ends of the condenser tube extend through the outside of the pot lid and are provided with water inlet and water outlet interfaces for connecting external water inlets and outlets.

This allows the water vapor mixture to be condensed and liquefied more fully when it comes into contact with the condensation layer and fall into the still, further improving the condensation efficiency, optimizing the distillation effect, and helping to improve the quality and yield of the wine.

[0011] Preferably, at least one pressure sensor for detecting the internal pressure of the steamer is arranged at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid.

[0013] Preferably, at least one temperature sensor for detecting the internal temperature of the steamer is arranged at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that by arranging temperature sensors at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid, the temperature information inside the pot can be fed back in real time, helping operators to accurately adjust distillation parameters, such as the heat level, based on temperature changes, and ensuring the normal operation of the brewing distillation equipment.

[0015] Preferably, the condensation layer is a water storage jacket, and liquid water is injected into the condensation layer as a condensation medium.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: by setting the condensation layer as a water storage jacket, the liquid water in the condensation layer is a common and efficient condensation medium that is low in cost and easy to obtain. At the same time, it provides continuous and stable cooling conditions for steam condensation, ensuring that the condensation process proceeds stably.

[0027] In this embodiment 1, like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a steam separation device for brewing distillation equipment includes a still 1 and a lid 2 arranged on top of the still 1. The lid 2 has a composite unit 3. The composite unit 3 includes an insulation layer 4 for preventing heat loss from the still 1 and a condensation layer 5 arranged adjacent to the insulation layer 4 for condensing steam in the still 1. A condensation component 6 is arranged in the condensation layer 5.

[0028] By setting a composite unit 3 inside the pot lid 2, including a heat insulation layer 4 and a condensation layer 5, and condensation components 6 arranged inside the condensation layer 5: the heat insulation layer 4 can reduce heat loss inside the pot 1, maintain a stable high-temperature environment which is conducive to distillation and allows distillation to continue; the condensation layer 5 and the condensation components 6 inside it enhance the condensation and liquefaction of the water vapor mixture inside the pot 1, so that it falls into the pot 1. By utilizing the difference in boiling points between water and alcohol, the alcohol vapor in the distillation process is enriched, the steam is effectively utilized, and the distillation effect is improved.

[0029] The condensing component 6 is a condensing tube, and both ends of the condensing tube extend through the outside of the pot lid 2 and are provided with a water inlet 7 and a water outlet 8 for connecting external water inlets and outlets.

[0030] By setting up inlet 7 and outlet 8, external circulating water is connected to precisely control the temperature of the condenser tube, enabling water vapor to be condensed and liquefied more efficiently, enhancing the separation effect of steam, further improving distillation efficiency and the enrichment of alcohol vapor, and facilitating flexible adjustment of the condensation process.

[0031] The condenser tubes include, but are not limited to, those that are spirally fixed within the condenser layer 5.

[0032] By setting the condenser tube spirally fixed inside the condenser layer 5, the contact area and contact time between the condenser tube and the condensing medium are greatly increased. This allows the water vapor mixture to be condensed and liquefied more fully when it comes into contact with the condenser layer 5, falling into the still 1. This further improves the condensation efficiency, optimizes the distillation effect, and helps to improve the quality and yield of the wine.

[0033] At least one pressure sensor 9 for detecting the internal pressure of the steamer 1 is arranged at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid 2.

[0034] By arranging pressure sensors 9 at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid 2, the pressure changes inside the pot 1 can be monitored in real time. Operators can keep track of the pressure inside the pot in a timely manner and take immediate measures when the pressure is abnormal, such as adjusting the steam discharge through the valve port 11, to prevent safety accidents caused by excessive pressure and ensure the safety and stability of the distillation process.

[0035] At least one temperature sensor 10 for detecting the internal temperature of the steamer 1 is arranged at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid 2.

[0036] By arranging temperature sensors 10 at any position on the inner wall of the pot lid 2, the internal temperature information of the pot 1 can be fed back in real time, helping operators to accurately adjust distillation parameters, such as the heat level, based on temperature changes, and ensuring the normal operation of the brewing distillation equipment.

[0037] The condensation layer 5 is a water storage interlayer, and liquid water is injected into the condensation layer 5 as a condensation medium.

[0038] By setting the condensation layer 5 as a water storage jacket, the liquid water in the condensation layer 5 serves as a common and efficient condensation medium that is low in cost and readily available. At the same time, it provides continuous and stable cooling conditions for steam condensation, ensuring the stable operation of the condensation process.

[0039] The upper end of the pot lid 2 is provided with a valve port 11 for steam outlet.

[0040] By arranging a valve 11 for steam discharge at the upper end of the pot lid 2, steam can be discharged in a timely manner through the valve 11, and the pressure and steam volume inside the pot can be precisely controlled. According to the needs of different stages of distillation, the steam pressure and content inside the pot can be reasonably adjusted to ensure the smooth progress of the distillation process, guarantee the distillation effect and the quality of the wine, and improve energy utilization efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment 2, like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a steam separation device for brewing distillation equipment is installed, including a still 1 and a lid 2 with a composite unit 3 on top. The insulation layer 4 of the composite unit 3 reduces heat loss, and the condensation layer 5 and internal condensation components 6 utilize boiling point differences to achieve steam separation, thereby improving distillation efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing the quality of the liquor. The condensation components 6 are designed as condenser tubes with inlet and outlet water interfaces 8, which facilitates precise temperature control with external circulating water and enhances the separation effect. The spiral-wound condenser tube increases the contact area and time, improving condensation efficiency and alcohol vapor enrichment. Pressure and temperature sensors 10 are arranged on the inner wall of the lid 2 to monitor data in real time to ensure stable distillation and optimize the effect. The condensation layer 5 is designed as a water storage jacket filled with liquid water, providing a low-cost and stable condensation environment. A valve port 11 is installed at the upper end of the lid 2 to precisely control steam emission, ensuring smooth distillation, guaranteeing liquor quality, and improving energy efficiency, thus comprehensively improving the performance of the brewing distillation equipment.

[0042] In this embodiment 3, like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, during the brewing distillation process, the grain in the still 1 is heated and utilizes the difference in boiling points between water and alcohol to enrich the alcohol vapor during the distillation process, producing a water vapor mixture containing water vapor and alcohol vapor.

[0043] During the initial distillation stage, the grains in the still 1, under heating, begin to produce a mixture of water vapor and alcohol vapor. At this time, the valve 11 at the top of the lid 2 will operate in a specific manner. During the first distillation, the alcohol vapor is first released through valve 11. This is because in the initial stage of distillation, the alcohol vapor produced first has a relatively high purity, and directly releasing and collecting it allows for the acquisition of a relatively pure portion of alcohol vapor, laying the foundation for obtaining high-quality liquor later.

[0044] As distillation continues, the resulting water vapor mixture contains not only water vapor but also residual alcohol vapor. This mixture rises into the condenser layer 5 inside the pot lid 2. The condenser layer 5 contains a condenser assembly 6. When the condenser assembly 6 is a condenser tube, its two ends extend to the water inlet 7 outside the pot lid 2, connecting to an external water source. Cold water flows into the condenser tube, absorbs heat, and then flows out from the water outlet 8. Since the boiling point of water is 100°C, while the boiling point of alcohol vapor is 78°C, when the higher-temperature water vapor mixture comes into contact with the relatively lower-temperature condenser tube, the water vapor and some residual alcohol vapor liquefy upon cooling, forming a mixture of liquid water and liquid alcohol that condenses and falls into the still 1.

[0045] The condenser tube, spirally fixed within the condensation layer 5, greatly increases the contact area and contact time with the water vapor mixture, allowing the water vapor mixture to be fully condensed and ensuring the efficient execution of the liquefaction process.

[0046] Pressure sensors 9 and temperature sensors 10, arranged on the inner wall of the pot lid 2, monitor the pressure and temperature inside the still 1 in real time. Operators can adjust parameters such as heating power and cooling water flow rate based on this data. For example, when pressure sensor 9 detects excessive pressure inside the still 1, the opening degree of valve 11 can be adjusted appropriately to release some steam and maintain stable pressure inside the still 1; when temperature sensor 10 detects abnormal temperature, the heating device can be adjusted promptly to ensure that the temperature inside the still 1 remains within the suitable range for distillation, thus preserving the quality and flavor of the liquor.

[0047] The condenser layer 5 uses a water storage jacket and is filled with liquid water as the condensing medium. Liquid water has a large specific heat capacity and can continuously and stably absorb heat from the water vapor mixture, providing a relatively stable low-temperature environment for the condensation process and ensuring that the liquefaction process of steam continues and is stable.

[0048] The liquid liquefied by the condenser unit 6 is collected and a second distillation begins. During the second distillation, the mixture is heated again, and the alcohol is further separated and purified by utilizing the difference in boiling points between water and alcohol, resulting in a spirit with higher purity and better quality.
