Description

The technical field to which the utility model relates.

The utility model relates to devices for distilling mash, obtaining ratification alcohol, alcoholic beverages, and also distilled water. The utility model can be widely used for use at home.

State of the art

Widely known devices for producing alcohol including a tank, reflux condenser, heat exchanger.

The installation for producing alcohol was chosen as an analogue, which in terms of the reflux condenser has a technical solution that is close in meaning, but set forth in a generalized concept and for another purpose, namely: containing a cube-evaporator connected to a battery of columns formed by vertical tubes located in the housing and fixed at the bottom in the holes of the support plate located in the lower part of the housing, a reflux chamber formed by the upper parts of the tubes and the upper and lower horizontal plate partitions with holes made in them, into which the tubes are inserted, a cooling system connected through appropriate nozzles to the reflux chamber, and also that additional plate partitions are introduced into the reflux chamber, in which the holes for the tubes are made, one part of these holes is made with a diameter equal to the outer diameter tubes, and the other part of the holes is made with a diameter exceeding the outer diameter of these tubes and with an arrangement providing a zigzag trajectory of the cooling fluid in the parts of the reflux chamber, the inlet and outlet nozzles of which are located in the most distant from each other parts of the said chamber, formed by plate-like partitions (see RF patent No. 215455, publication date 07/20/1998).

The disadvantages of the known installation for producing alcohol in the case of its use in the final heat exchanger include low productivity and increased water flow, due to the fact that water passes through a wide area of many holes, thereby losing the pressure force, when in the final heat exchanger for accelerated heat transfer is necessary intense zigzag water flow, knocking down the heat jacket from the walls of the tubes, which is provided by a narrow passage.

As a prototype, a device for producing alcohol was selected, consisting of a tank, a drawer, taps, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, which uses a shell-and-tube heat exchanger with a similar technical design.

In this prototype, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger consists of tubes for the passage and condensation of alcohol-containing steam, across which partitions are installed, having a shape equal to half the circumference, and installed alternately so as to provide a zigzag flow of water.

The disadvantages of the known prototype include low productivity and increased water consumption, due to the fact that the water in the known device passes through the wide interior of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger and does not acquire an increased pressure force, since the free space of the missing part of the partition does not create the specified pressure parameters.

Utility Model Implementation

A device for producing alcohol contains a container 1, a drawer 2, a reflux condenser 3, two branches of 90 degrees 4 each, one of which has a nipple for attaching a thermometer 5, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6, FIG. 1, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6 of FIG. 2 consists of tubes 7 for passing alcohol-containing vapors, across which partitions 8 are installed, having openings 9 of FIG. 3, adjacent to the surface of the tubes, as well as the passage 10 along the edge to increase the water pressure, while the location of the passages in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger is set so as to provide a zigzag intense water flow 11 of FIG. 2, providing at a given pressure the churning of the thermal jacket 15 from the surface of the tubes, which is formed in the form of a heated layer of water in contact with the surface of the heated tubes.

The connection of the parts of the device for producing alcohol is carried out by docking one element with another, and the junction of both elements can be part or whole of other parts, for example, have an elongated nozzle that performs the function of a drawer or have an elongated nozzle in the form of a reflux condenser. The connection can also be made by gaskets and clamps.

The use of a device for producing alcohol can be carried out in two stages and works as follows.

At the first stage, when processing mash, it is necessary to obtain the feedstock (raw alcohol), for this it is enough to use the tank 1 and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6.

The mash is poured into the container 1, heating is supplied (gas, electric stove, open fire), into the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6 through the pipe 12 of FIG. 2, coolant (flowing cold water) is supplied, and a waste water outlet is connected through a pipe 13.

When boiling, vapors of alcohol-containing liquid rise up and enter the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6.

Once in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6, the vapors of the alcohol-containing liquid enter the heat exchange process with the metal of the tubes 7 cooled by the running water and then condense. In this case, a zigzag intense flow of cold water 11 knocks down the heat jacket 15 from the surface of the tubes 7, accelerating heat transfer.

At the end of the process, the condensed alcohol-containing liquid is collected in the sump 16 of FIG. 2 and flows through a selection tube 17 into a receiving container (not shown). As a result, we get crude alcohol.

At the second stage, further processing of the crude alcohol takes place by fractional distillation or ratification into a qualitative composition of alcohol (ethyl alcohol).

Raw alcohol and water are poured into the tank 1, diluting the alcohol-containing liquid to 35–40 degrees, heating (gas, electric stove, open fire) is supplied, and a shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6 through the pipe 12 of FIG. 2, coolant (flowing cold water) is supplied, and a waste water outlet is connected through a pipe 13.

When boiling, alcohol-containing vapors rise upward along the spout 2, heavy fractions are retained on the spiral prismatic nozzle 18 of FIG. 1, after which the alcohol-containing vapor enters the reflux condenser 3, which also has an inlet 19 and an outlet 20 of the coolant. Upon contact with the tubes, the vapor in the reflux condenser 3 condenses, phlegm (the liquid part of the condensate containing heavy impurities and water) flows down the edges of the drawer 2 back into the tank 1.

When draining back to the tank 1, part of the phlegm collides with the rising steam from the tank 1, heat and mass transfer occurs and part of the over-vaporized reflux goes back to the reflux condenser 3. Thus, the alcohol-containing vapors are further purified from harmful heavy impurities.

The liberated alcohol-containing vapors having a lower mass flow upward into the outlets 4, in one of which a nipple 5 is installed for installing the thermometer and then into the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6.

Once in the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 6, the vapors of the alcohol-containing liquid enter the heat exchange process with the metal of the tubes 7 cooled by the running water and then condense. In this case, a zigzag intense flow of cold water 11 knocks down the heat jacket 15 from the surface of the tubes 7, accelerating heat transfer.

At the end of the process, the condensed alcohol-containing liquid is collected in the sump 16 and flows through the selection pipe 17 into a receiving tank (not shown). As a result, we get high-quality alcohol (ethyl alcohol).

When distilling water, the device for producing alcohol functions in the same way.

To use the device for producing alcohol in the ratification mode, the shell-and-tube heat exchanger by means of taps 4 is moved upward, in a vertical position, FIG. four.

As indicated earlier, the device for producing alcohol can function without a reflux condenser, without a drawer and taps, since the technical result established by the utility model does not depend on them, however, they occupy an important place in the technology for purifying an alcohol-containing liquid and, accordingly, improving the quality of the final product.

The device for producing alcohol is easily assembled, disassembled and washed after each distillation procedure.

Thus, the installation of partitions with a passage with an edge for a cold water flow, located alternately, for example, on the opposite side, by setting a zigzag intense flow of water, ensures that the heat jacket is knocked off the surface of the tubes, which leads to accelerated heat transfer, reducing water consumption, or at the same time water consumption increases the production capacity of the device for producing alcohol.
