  • Heat exchanger having a set of pipes
    Patent number: 4558734
    Abstract: A heat exchanger having a plurality of parts each of which comprises a set of pipes and a housing which conducts steam. The housing of each part is provided on its steam discharge end with a condensate extraction connection that is angularly offset on the periphery of the housing relative to the steam discharge connection. Such a heat exchanger is distinguished by a simple, space-saving construction and easy maintenance and cleaning while permitting good heat transfer.

  • Apparatus for the continuous boiling of wort
    Patent number: 4552060
    Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus for the continuous boiling of wort in which separators (5 and 6) which serve for depressurization and lowering of the temperature of the wort and for separating off the vapor are each combined into one structural unit (8 and 7 respectively) with the appertaining recuperative heat exchangers (2 and 1 respectively). This results in considerable simplification of the apparatus, a reduction in the amount of space required and an increase in the degree of efficiency from the point of view of heat engineering.

  • Apparatus for the extraction of vapor from a mash and/or wort tub
    Patent number: 4522256
    Abstract: Apparatus for the extraction of vapor from a brewing tub enables the vapor to be guided selectively under the control of a valve either via a tub vapor condenser or a vapor vent pipe arranged as a bypass to the tub vapor condenser. A particularly space-saving construction which enables retrofitting an existing plant comprises a helical tube condenser arranged around the vapor vent pipe having the control valve in the region of its lower end.

  • Tub vapor condenser
    Patent number: 4522257
    Abstract: In a tub vapor condenser for brewing tubs two condenser stages are arranged above one another in the vapor vent of the tub, the lower condenser stage being constructed as a tube condenser and the upper condenser stage being constructed as a spray arrangement for water and other materials, so that on the one hand it is possible to obtain clean usable water at a high temperature and on the other hand odor-generating substances are largely eliminated from the vapor.

  • Vat for separating wort for spent grain
    Patent number: 4129504
    Abstract: A refining vat for the separation of wort from spent grain comprises a sieve base and an impervious discharge base which lies below the sieve base and surrounds a central drain outlet. An intermediate base is substantially concentric with and is smaller in diameter than the sieve base, and is disposed between the sieve base and the discharge base and acts as an accumulator and guide element for the wort.
