Apparatus for vapor compression fractional distillation of liquid mixtures

摘要: A process and apparatus especially suited for distilling alcohol from aqueous fermentation liquors wherein liquid vapors a body of mixture (4) which is to be distilled pass container (2) holding the vapor heating chamber (8) disposed above where are heated by solar radiation and/or heat exchange with source heat. The then withdrawn chamber, compressed, passed in relation introduced into reflux column (15) interior near center container. An fraction (24) collected bottom column, an top further condensed contact produce (32). Condensation distilland causes released condensation recycled promote evaporation.
