Abstract
The invention relates to apparatus for the continuous boiling of wort in which separators (5 and 6) which serve for depressurization and lowering of the temperature of the wort and for separating off the vapor are each combined into one structural unit (8 and 7 respectively) with the appertaining recuperative heat exchangers (2 and 1 respectively). This results in considerable simplification of the apparatus, a reduction in the amount of space required and an increase in the degree of efficiency from the point of view of heat engineering.
Claims8
Apparatus for the continuous boiling of wort, containing
- (a) at least one recuperative heat exchanger for raising the temperature of the wort,
- (b) at least one further heat exchanger for raising the temperature of the wort to a boiling temperature higher than 100.degree. C.,
- (c) a heat maintaining zone,
- (d) at least one separator for depressurisation and lowering of the temperature of the wort and for separating off the vapour,
- (e) the vapour being delivered to the recuperative heat exchanger as heating medium,
- characterised in that
- (f) the separator (6 or 5) and the recuperative heat exchanger (1 or 2 respectively) are combined into one structural unit (7 or 8 respectively).
