摘要 |
The invention relates to a pot distillation system, in particular for whiskey, which comprises a distillation bubble (1) with a base (5) equipped to heat an alcoholic liquid (13), and a top (7) removing alcohol vapors. The alcoholic liquid (13) in the base (5) is heated by means of a heating unit (35, 33) having a heat exchanger (35) which is in thermal contact with the alcoholic liquid (13) and heated by water vapor. A condenser (11) having a cooling water circuit (41) recirculating cooling water across the condenser condenses the alcohol vapor supplied from the top (7). The cooling water circuit (41) comprises a separator (45) which removes water vapor from the cooling water circuit. The water vapor removed by the separator (45) is pre-compressed in a mechanical compressor (49) and supplied to an intake port (51) of a steam jet pump (53) which is driven by water vapor from a water vapor source (37) and which further compresses the pre-compressed water vapor, said steam jet pump supplying the further compressed water vapor to the heat exchanger (35) for heating same. |
