Description

The present invention relates to leavening tubs provided with an annular chamber, an absorber for alcohol vapors and a cooling device.

In order to automatically regulate the supply of cooling water, a cylinder equipped with a piston rod with two pistons is used in the proposed closed fermentation tank and, as it accumulates in the absorber, it rises and opens the water inlet pipe for the cooling tank.

The schematic drawing shows a vertical section of the proposed leavened vat.

The design and automatic operation of the vat is based on the principle that the amount of heat released and the increase in the temperature of the brew are directly dependent on the amount of carbon dioxide released during fermentation, the pressure of which is used to regulate the automatic water flow cooling the sour vat.

Alcohol vapors from the sour vat are supplied through pipe 2 to absorber 3, where they pass through two sieve grids and get through pipe 5 terminating with sieve ring 4 into second absorber 6. Carbon dioxide released from absorber b into pipe 7, and from a subshift 8 moving vertically in cylinder 9; the latter has a baffle 10 inside with a hole through which piston rod 11 of piston 8 and piston 12 passes, located on both sides of baffle 10. As carbon dioxide pressure rises, piston 8 begins to rise upwards until it reaches the carbon dioxide outlet 13 . At the same time, the piston 12 reaches the orifice of the pipe 14, intended for the supply of cooling water. Last, go through the upper half of the cylinder 9, out of it into the pipe 15 and goes into the sprinkler 16.

Further, a decrease in the intensity of the fermentation process in tank 1 lowers the pressure of carbon dioxide on the pistons, which, descending through cylinder 9, 9, again close the access of the cooling water to the tank. The inlets for pipes 13 and 14 in the cylinder 9 have rectangular sections, in order to release carbon dioxide and intake water in proportion to the pressure developed. The cooling water flowing through the sprinkler 16 flows both onto the outer surface of the leavening tub 1 and into the inner cylinder 17, which results in a double and more intensive cooling of the tub, depending on the intensity of the fermentation process.

The rod 10, on which the pistons 8 and 12 are located, has an extension at the top to strengthen the load, if required. The tank is also equipped with all the fittings necessary for the fermentation process.

The subject matter of the invention.

1. Closed fermenting vat, consisting of an annular alcohol vapor absorber chamber and a cooling device, characterized in that a cylinder 9 divided by a partition 10 into two parts and having a stem is used to adjust the cooling water supply depending on the intensity of the process. 11 with two pistons 8 and 12 intended to inject water from pipe 14 into sprinkler 16 as the piston 8 ascends with incoming carbon dioxide from the absorber b to outlet pipe 13.

2. In the smelting vat described in paragraph 1, the use of a cooling device consisting of two water tanks connected by pipe 5 in order to wash carbon dioxide twice.
