Abstract

The invention relates to apparatus for the continuous boiling of wort in which separators (5 and 6) which serve for depressurization and lowering of the temperature of the wort and for separating off the vapor are each combined into one structural unit (8 and 7 respectively) with the appertaining recuperative heat exchangers (2 and 1 respectively). This results in considerable simplification of the apparatus, a reduction in the amount of space required and an increase in the degree of efficiency from the point of view of heat engineering.
