Should we have cold liquor tank for glycol cooling system?
Our standard configuration supply glycol water tank and 2 chillers for glycol cooling system. The glycol water tank capacity is 2-3 times than brewhouse. The wort need to be cooled from over 100 celsius degree to about 10 celsius degree within 40 minutes.(already normally speed). It is good for producing better quality beer. And base on current configuration, it is OK to support 10 double batch fermenters.
But there still have some brewmasters consider add cold liquor tank into proposal, then what is the advantage of cold liquor tank?
1)If we add cold liquor tank into proposal, the glycol water tank will go to cool fermenter and cold liquor tank only. The cold liquor tank will go to cool the wort in the heat exchanger, it helps release the pressure of glycol water tank cooling. It will have bigger expanding capacity in the later period.
2)The cold liquor tank has glycol jacket, so the glycol water will go to cool the city water by through the jacket. So the cold water will not have the chance to contamination the wort in the condition of heat exchanger broken down. And the sanitary level is higher.
3)If we have cold liquor tank, the cold water after cooling the wort in the heat exchanger, it still can recycle into cold liquor tank or hot liquor tank. Also we can consider use single stage heat exchanger, there will no city water to cooling the wort in the heat exchanger. So if the city water cost is high in your local, it also helps save some cost.
