What is the heating method of beer equipment?

Craft beer heating methods are generally divided into direct fire heating, electric heating and steam heating.When it comes to the heating method of craft beer, it is necessary to go back to 1992 in China. The first small beer teaching and testing equipment was installed in Shandong Institute of Light Industry. Since then, small beer equipment has sprung up in China. At that time, stainless steel utensils were rarely seen, let alone large jars. Although the processing technology at that time was still very basic, argon arc welding was also rare. As a result, most of the stainless steel tanks at that time were welded with electric electrodes, and the polishing technology was also very basic. The equipment made had functions but was ordinary in appearance.

After 2008, with the introduction of foreign brewing elements and Master Gao’s craft beer culture, this beer culture was accepted by the younger generation in China. Following this, craft beer equipment has ushered in another wave of development, and the design and processing of beer equipment has reached a new level.

After 30 years, the heating method of beer equipment has evolved from the original direct fire (wood, coal), steam, and electric heating tubes to indirect heating with heat transfer oil and direct fire heating with burners (LNG, LPG). The steam has changed from the original The heating of the jacket is changed to heating with built-in heater and external heater. Next, the micet craft engineer will give you a brief introduction.

Direct fire heating

Like burning a stove, burn the bottom of the pot with the flame. This method has high thermal efficiency, but the pollution is serious, and it has been restricted by environmental protection and can no longer be used. It has become a thing of the past.

steam heating

Steam is generated by burning electricity, gas, fuel oil, and biological particles, and local electric steam generators are most used in places with powered three-phase electricity. Low failure rate, less daily maintenance, more worry-free, and also in line with national environmental protection policies. The regular regeneration of the demineralized water system and the fouling of the electric heating tube need to be taken , otherwise the electric heating tube may be burned and leakage may occur.

No matter LNG or LPG, gas-fired boilers are faced with a gas safety problem. Otherwise, there are sometimes problems with ignition, and not every time they are ignited . Daily maintenance is required in every season, and the LPG burner has to face the replacement and transportation of gas tanks, and the smoke exhaust will affect the surrounding environment. Although there are these problems, it can solve the problem that there is only single-phase electricity on site or the current carrying capacity of the wire is not enough, and it can replace electric energy with gas chemical energy, reducing most of the demand for electric energy. The burners of oil-fired boilers are not as easy to use as gas-fired ones. Diesel fuel addition, volatile odor, wax formation in winter, and impurities blocking the oil circuit all occur, but it can solve the problem of no gas and insufficient electricity. Of course, this is special equipment, and when it exceeds a certain range (within the latest domestic standard of 500kg/h), it will be reported by the relevant department.

Electric heating

Electric heating is used most, especially in the brewhouse equipment of the leaching mash a process, and is rarely used in the mash pot to warm the mash. The heat accumulation on the surface of the electric heating tube is large, and it is difficult to conduct it out in a short time, which will cause the problem of burnt materials. Also, the surface is difficult to clean, and the use of equipment is decreasing. In some countries, due to the strict supervision of boilers, and they do not want to cause trouble in this regard, they have electric heating tubes, electric heating tubes and heat transfer oil. The direct heating efficiency of the electric heating tube is the highest, and then the problem of burning and difficult cleaning can be solved by heat conduction. But it has to face the new problem of inaccurate temperature control, and there must be an empirical value to stop early.

Bio-particle heating boilers, although in line with environmental protection policies, are not allowed to be used in some places, especially in cities. Although the smoke exhaust is small, it affects the surrounding areas. It is recommended to use them in non-residential areas in the effective area, which is cheap.

Burner direct fire heating

Take the burner off the boiler and install it on the bottom of the heating pot. The combustion chamber is heat-insulated with refractory materials except the bottom of the pot, and the efficiency is also very high. The chimney can be equipped with casing pipes to run water for heat recovery and reuse. This can also avoid the restrictions of laws and regulations and save the area of the boiler, which is much better than the electric heating tube. The price of direct fire heating equipment is much higher than that of steam heating, so it needs to be considered.
