The atmospheric pressure sterilizing pot is made of earthen wood, bricks and cement, with large capacity and low cost. Therefore, edible fungi producers currently adopt this model.
The edible fungi sterilization stove must be built according to the following requirements:
1. Rapid temperature rise, large amount of steam, and high sterilization finished product. The "edible fungus high-efficiency and energy-saving sterilization stove" uses heat conduction, Principles of convection and radiation. It heats up quickly, and the temperature in the stove can reach 105°C in 2 hours. Sterilization is complete without dead ends, the yield reaches 100%, and it saves more than 65% of fuel compared with conventional stoves.
2 It has an automatic water replenishing system that always maintains the balance of the water level in the pot. The "Energy-Saving Edible Mushroom High-Efficiency Sterilization Stove" is equipped with an automatic water replenishing system. During the heating process, how much water evaporates in the pot per unit time can be determined. The amount of water in the pot is replenished in time, and the water level in the pot is automatically maintained in balance. The water level in the pot does not decrease for a long time, and the temperature in the pot is not affected at all.
3. Add energy-saving devices and greatly reduce unnecessary energy consumption. The "Energy-Efficient Mushroom Sterilization Stove" is designed with a temperature control system to reform the problem of constant burning in traditional sterilization stoves. While we consider thermal insulation, we also pay more attention to energy utilization. Effectively grasp and control the three stages of the sterilization process: "big fire", "small fire" and "big fire", thereby further reducing costs.
4. Design an accurate water measuring device to directly observe changes in the water level in the pot at any time. This design can effectively detect changes in the water level in the pot in the sealed state during the sterilization process, which is critical to the water replenishment system and the units in the pot. The amount of steam produced at any given time is clearly known to ensure production safety.
5. Efficient inlet and outlet design and greatly reduced workload Another feature of the "Energy-Efficient Edible Mushroom Sterilization Stove" is that it breaks the traditional sterilization process of moving bags (bottles) in and out one by one. , requiring a large amount of labor input. We designed all the materials to be sterilized (bags, bottles) to be integrated in and out (that is, thousands of operations are designed into one or two operations), which can easily free mushroom farmers from complicated processes.
6. Easy to build, can use local materials, and is low-cost. The purpose of our design is: everything is based on reality and everything is for the sake of mushroom farmers. The "Energy-Efficient Edible Mushroom Sterilization Stove" we designed is easy to build and can use local materials. The main raw materials are: iron sheets, bricks and cement, etc. The design requirements are: effective floor space and maximum capacity.
