Wort boiling, for beer brewing, has a boiler to take single charges in a single boiling phase with vapor passing through a buoyancy column for rectification and out through a heat exchanger for heat recovery

摘要

To boil wort, for brewing beer, the wort (W) is fed to the boiler (2) in batches for each charge (C) to be boiled in a single phase. The evaporation vapor (D) is passed to a buoyancy column (10) to be rectified at the escape from the boiler. Any condensation (K) is returned to the boiler, and the remaining vapor (E) at the head end (15) of the column is passed through a heat exchanger (17) for condensation and heat recovery.
