The existing distilled liquor condensing equipment mostly adopts an ice steamer to cool a large amount of tap water so as to achieve the effect of condensing the liquor steam. The technology has the problems of more water source waste, difficult sewage discharge, higher sewage treatment cost and the like, and other minority adopts the form of an air-cooled ice steamer, so that the technology can not effectively achieve lower-temperature wine outlet under the condition of higher ambient temperature and larger wine outlet amount, the wine outlet speed is slower, the scaling of a later-stage cooler is not easy to clean, the condensation effect is obviously reduced, and the technology is difficult to be applied to markets in a large number.
In the brewing industry, wine steam is condensed into liquid through heat exchange with a refrigerant, and in the process, the heat of the wine steam is transferred to the refrigerant to cool, and the heated temperature of the refrigerant is increased. In the industry, water is mostly used as a medium for the refrigerant. The heat exchange of wine vapour is continuous and a large amount of hot water is produced.
In the prior art, hot water is stored in the cooling tank for heat dissipation, the heat dissipation efficiency is low, and the cooling tank occupies a large space, so that the hot water cannot be cooled in time in a large amount to form circulation supply of cold energy, and the hot water can be discharged, so that water source waste is caused.
In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the invention provides a brewing refrigerant cooler, which aims to reduce the brewing refrigerant cooler and increase the heat dissipation efficiency of hot water at the same time so as to enable a refrigerant (the refrigerant is water) for cooling wine steam to be recycled and save water resources. Specifically, the brewing refrigerant cooler provided by the invention integrates the air cooling pipe assembly and the liquid cooling pipe assembly into one device, and respectively and independently carries out air cooling and liquid cooling on the refrigerant, at least the heated refrigerant can be cooled by air cooling and water cooling in sequence, so that the temperature of the refrigerant can reach the technical requirement of reducing the temperature of wine steam. The specific process comprises the steps of firstly carrying out air cooling on the refrigerant to transfer heat of the refrigerant to the air, taking away a large amount of heat through the air, and then carrying out liquid cooling on the refrigerant after air cooling, wherein the heat of the refrigerant is transferred to cold liquid (the cold liquid can be water) at the moment, and the temperature of the cold liquid cannot be increased too much because the air takes away most of heat.
Specifically, the brewing refrigerant cooler comprises a first box 10, a second box 20, an air cooling pipe assembly 100, a liquid cooling pipe assembly 200, a first pipeline 300, a first fan 400 and a cold liquid pumping assembly 500. The refrigerant flows through the air-cooled tube assembly 100 and the liquid-cooled tube assembly 200.
The first casing 10 is connected to the second casing 20.

The air-cooled tube assembly 100 and the liquid-cooled tube assembly 200 are in communication via the first conduit 300.
In the technical scheme of the invention, the first fan 400 generates air flow in the first box 10, so that heat of the air cooling pipe assembly 100 can be taken away in the air flow process, and the temperature of a refrigerant in the air cooling pipe assembly 100 is reduced, wherein the cooling is performed for the first time, then the refrigerant enters the liquid cooling pipe assembly 200 through the first pipeline 300, cold liquid is pumped into the second box through the spray water pipe 500a by the cold liquid pumping assembly 500, the heat of the refrigerant is transferred to the cold liquid through the cold liquid pipe assembly 200, and the temperature of the refrigerant is further reduced to achieve the second cooling, so that the technical requirement of cooling wine steam can be met. In the invention, the first tank 10 and the second tank 20 are connected with each other into a whole so as to occupy space for the brewing refrigerant cooler, save the cost of land and facilitate the space layout of the whole set of brewing system, and the air cooling pipe assembly 100 and the liquid cooling pipe assembly 200 respectively cool the refrigerant independently after the first tank 10 and the second tank 20 are connected with each other into a whole, and the cooling pipe assembly and the liquid cooling pipe assembly are not affected by each other, thereby being convenient for installation, maintenance and cleaning.
In the embodiment, the first case 10 and the second case 20 are each configured to be hollow for providing air-cooled and water-cooled spaces, respectively. The first casing 10 and the second casing 20 may share a wall surface, and the two may be integrally formed at the wall surface by using a connection method such as a stud, a screw, or welding.
In the specific implementation process, the air cooling pipe assembly 100 and the liquid cooling pipe assembly 200 may be coil pipe assemblies or tube array assemblies. The air-cooled tube assembly 100 and the liquid-cooled tube assembly 200 are fixed in the first case 10 and the second case 20, respectively.
In the specific implementation, the first fan 400 is located at the top of the first box 10, so that when the first box 10 is started, air flows to take away heat. An air outlet is formed in the top position of the first box body 10, the first fan 400 is correspondingly arranged at the air outlet, and the first fan 500 is preferably an axial flow fan. The number of the first fans 400 is not limited and is generally set to be plural. The peripheral wall of the first tank 10 is provided with a water curtain packing 10a.

Specifically, the shower pipe 500a should have a plurality of water outlets and be arranged in an array, for example, the water outlets of the shower pipe 500a may be arranged in a rectangular array, a circular array, a spiral array, or even an irregular array, so as to increase the chance of water contacting the wall surface of the liquid cooling pipe assembly 200. The shower pipe 500a pumps water in the water tank 30 through the shower pipe 500a to the second tank 20 through the pump 500b to spray.
In a specific implementation process, the water outlet of the air cooling pipe assembly 100 is communicated with the water inlet of the liquid cooling pipe assembly 200 through the first pipeline 300. The first pipe 300 is preferably disposed outside the first and second cases 10 and 20, as shown in fig. 1, so that the internal space of the first and second cases 10 and 20 can be saved, part of heat can be transferred to the air, and it is convenient to install monitoring elements such as a temperature sensor, a flow sensor, a pressure sensor, etc. on the first pipe 300 to improve the intelligentization degree of the brewing refrigerant cooler. The first pipe 300 and the shower pipe 500a may be disposed in parallel at a pipe section outside the second tank 20 such that the refrigerant and the cold liquid have a certain heat transfer process at the outside of the second tank.
As a further solution of the above embodiment, the brewing refrigerant cooler further includes a second fan 600, where the second fan 600 is disposed on the second tank 20, and the second fan 600 is configured to form an air flow that flows in a direction opposite to a liquid flow of the pump cooling liquid assembly 500 pumped in the second tank 20. In order to enhance the water-cooling heat exchange effect and increase the utilization efficiency of the cold liquid, an air outlet is formed in the top of the second box 20, and a second fan 600 is disposed at a position corresponding to the air outlet, and the second fan 600 is preferably an axial flow fan. When the second fan is started, air flowing from bottom to top is formed in the second box 20, and the liquid flow direction of the cold liquid is from top to bottom, at this time, the air flow and the liquid flow form convection, and part of heat in the liquid flow can be taken away by the air flow, so that the cold liquid can be recycled. In addition, the cold liquid pipes in the liquid cooling pipe assembly 200 are arranged at intervals in space, so that the temperature of the liquid flow above can be reduced in the process of convection of the air flow and the liquid flow, and the temperature of the liquid flow dropped to the cold liquid pipe below can be lower compared with the situation of no convection of the air flow, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. In a specific implementation, the number of the second fans 600 should not be limited, and should be specifically set according to design parameters, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the number of the second fans 600 is preferably 2.

For example, as shown in the figure, the second box 20 is a cuboid, and the third air inlet may be formed on three sidewalls of the second box 20. For example, the second box has 1 third air inlet in a normally open state, and the other third air inlet is covered by a shielding plate to be in a normally closed state. When the temperature of the cold liquid is higher, the shielding plate is removed (the shielding plate can be detachably connected to the position, corresponding to the third air inlet, of the second box body, such as stud locking, buckling and the like), so that air can enter from the corresponding third air inlet, the flow rate of the air entering the second box body is increased, and the temperature of the cold liquid is reduced.

For example, the packing assembly 800 includes an upper and a lower substrates, in which a wave-shaped packing is filled to form rugged ravines, and in which numerous gas-liquid passages are provided. The cold liquid is retained within the fill assembly 800 for a period of time where the air stream cools it sufficiently so that the cold liquid can meet the temperature requirements of a cycle utility. And, the air flow passes through the packing assembly 800 and then enters the heat exchange space, and impurities in the air flow can be trapped by the packing assembly 800.
