The importance of steam generators in the beer brewing industry
Nowadays, most people have a high demand for beer, which makes brewers have high requirements on the brewing process. Beer brewing has many important links such as gelatinization, saccharification, filtration, fermentation, and filling. The heat energy used in these links requires strict temperature control. The process of gelatinization and saccharification is the most obvious. The changes of pressure and temperature during the heating process are difficult to adjust manually, so a steam generator is needed.
A steam generator is a low water content boiler, similar to a flash steam boiler. The usual construction is a helical coil of water pipes, arranged as a single or single-pipe coil. It is a heat exchanger used to convert water from the heat generated in the core of a nuclear reactor into steam.
The process of brewing beer requires very high temperatures. A steam generator transfers heat from the primary reactor coolant to the secondary side to generate steam, which then powers a turbine generator to generate electricity. Using a steam generator to provide heat and pressure for the process of gelatinization and saccharification, by intelligently adjusting the temperature and pressure, it saves a lot of space, time and labor. When the beer is saccharified and gelatinized, it also needs to be heated by a steam generator and sent to the fermentation tank. After the fermentation is completed, the final disinfection and sterilization are carried out. The steam generator produces high-purity hot steam, which also meets the requirements of high-temperature sterilization.
The steam generator is widely used in the beer brewing industry. It connects the tedious links in the brewing process. Almost all beer brewing uses hot steam, which ensures that the brewer can obtain the required heat in a short time without spending a lot of money. The energy ensures the high efficiency and low cost of beer brewing.
