An apparatus includes a mash circulating system with pump and fermentation tank, an atmosphere circulating sys-tem with blower for circulating atmosphere between the tank and an ethanol- removal station, and an integrated refrigerating heat--transfer system with first coils for condensing out ethanol from the atmosphere, and second coils for warming the mash. A support frame supports portions of the above components, making it a transportable modular unit to facilitate installation, minimize cost, and provide for efficient operation. The entire apparatus can be up-sized or down-sized for specific applications. In one form, the system includes electrically-driven pump, blower, and refrigeration compressors, with the external energy consumption kept sur-prisingly low. Methods related to the above are also disclosed and claimed.

La présente invention concerne un appareil qui comprend un système de circulation de moût et une cuve de fermentation, un système de circulation d'air atmosphérique doté d'un ventilateur soufflant permettant de faire circuler l'air atmosphérique entre la cuve et une station d'élimination de l'éthanol, et un système de transfert thermique réfrigérant intégré doté de premiers serpentins permettant d'éliminer par condensation l'éthanol de l'air atmosphérique, et de seconds serpentins permettant de réchauffer le moût. Un cadre de support soutient les parties des composants ci-dessus, formant une unité modulaire transportable facilitant l'installation réduisant les coûts et fonctionnant efficacement. La totalité de l'appareil peut être agrandie ou réduite pour des applications spécifiques. Sous une forme, le système comprend une pompe électrique, un ventilateur soufflant et des compresseurs de réfrigération, la consommation énergétique externe étant maintenue étonnamment faible. L'invention concerne également des procédés associés à ce qui précède.
