Health tea for locomotive crews

Health tea for locomotive crews

To improve train safety, it is advisable to use methods and means to relieve the nervous, mental and physical stress of the locomotive crew. Wellness tea can be used as a regulator of the psychophysiological state of the driver and his assistant. It is obtained from well-selected and efficiently processed medicinal plants, which can be found in the catalog at the link.

To organize the production and use of health-improving tea, it is necessary to have ecological, engineering and medical centers. They will coordinate comprehensive research by biologists, engineers and doctors on this issue. It is advisable to have such centers throughout the Russian road network. They can be placed on the basis of the leading depots. The necessary prerequisites for the establishment of such centers are already available.

Scientists and practitioners of a biological profile have identified resources and types of medicinal plants suitable for obtaining health-improving tea. It has been established, for example, that 79% of the territory of the Irkutsk region is covered with forests, in which more than 500 species of medicinal plants grow. Many of them can be cultivated in agricultural production conditions.

More than 50 types of medicinal plants are suitable for obtaining health tea. Among them, such wild and cultivated tea plants as badan, hawthorn, lingonberry, valerian, blueberry, sweet clover, oregano, honeysuckle, strawberry, golden root, zubrovka, ivan tea, maned caragana, cranberry, nettle, laburnum, raspberry, carrot, sea buckthorn, wormwood, tarragon, Kuril tea, Adams's rhododendron, mountain ash and prune, beetroot, licorice, currant, bearberry, yarrow, thyme, bird cherry, blueberry, rosehip and others.

The health-improving properties of medicinal plants consist in the content of active substances in them, among them are glycosides, alkaloids, saponins, polysaccharides, essential oils, organic acids, flavonoids, phytoncides, vitamins, chemical elements, pigments, resins, fatty oils.

The amount of active substances contained in the plant is estimated at only hundredths and tenths of a percent. Therefore, the search for principles, methods, methods and means in the technology of growing, collecting, processing and storing medicinal plants to obtain a health-improving tea with an optimal composition of active ingredients in terms of relevance and novelty is the most important problem.

The technology of making health-improving tea has its roots in ancient times. The quality of tea leaf preparation largely depends on the drying technology.

Until recently, most thermal operations were performed using equipment based on the principles of burning solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. Electrical technologies in the tea business began to be used at the end of the 20th century, and in the last decade of the last century to obtain health—improving tea.

To perform thermal operations (wilting, drying, fermentation, caramelization, and others) in the technology of health tea, installations operating on the principle of converting electrical energy into infrared (IR) radiation energy were selected. With this heat treatment method, the total heating of the raw materials is low, and ventilation periods are used not only for cooling, but also for moisture evaporation.

Based on theoretical and experimental studies, it was proposed to use latitudinal-intermittent control of IR radiation in the technology of making health-improving tea.

A fully energy-saving latitudinal intermittent IR irradiation method with a lowering energy power level in combination with an artificial convection element was implemented by scientists and specialists from the Irkutsk Institute of Railway Transport Engineers (IrIIT) when designing experimental production-type installations. This idea was partially used by the Russian Food and Precon companies, which have mastered the mass production of infrared electrical installations for drying vegetable raw materials.

This method has proven itself well in other parameters in the technology of drying raw materials. One can only wish that health tea could be more widely used on the Russian road network.
