Factors Affecting on Cleaning Beer Equipment
 
For getting a nice taste beer, except for the well control on brewing process, equipment cleaning is also a factor that can not be ignored. 
The cleaning process is a combination of mechanical, chemical, and temperature effects. The first is to play a mechanical role, that is to increase the impact force at a higher flow rate, to wash away the attachments on the surface of the device. The cleaning agent then plays a chemical role under the synergistic effect of temperature and surface-active substances and use the synergistic effect of the above factors to completely destroy the dirt film.
 
Main factors affecting cleaning quality:
1.The nature of the dirt (hardness, adhesion, etc.).2.Roughness of equipment surface.3.Mechanical force (stroke strength).4.Types and concentrations of cleaning agents and fungicides.5.Working temperature.6.Action time.
 
Main factors affecting cleaning time
4. 1 dirt. 2 Type, quality and efficacy of cleaning agents. 3 Concentration of active components. Cleaning temperature. 5. mechanical action.
 
Under the premise of ensuring the quality requirements of the process, the cleaning time should be shortened as much as possible to improve the equipment turnover rate. Increasing the cleaning temperature can speed up the chemical reaction between the cleaning agent and the dirt. In general, the chemical reaction rate will increase by 1.5 ~ 2 times for every 10 ℃ increase in temperature, and the cleaning time will be shortened accordingly.
 
Ways to improve the cleaning speed at a certain cleaning temperature
1.The best dispersion effect can be achieved by the active substances in the dirt particles.2.The reaction substance and dirt have a high reaction speed.
3.The decomposed and converted products have better diffusibility.
 
The way to improve the cleaning effect under a certain mechanical action
1.Enhances the peeling effect of dirt particles.2.Increase the shear tension of the tank wall.3.Detach the surface layer
Factors that enhance the effect of mechanical effects
1. Increase the pressure of the cleaning solution.2.Increase volume flow and quantity.3.Strengthen the mechanical action of the fluid.4.Increase the fluid velocity (turbulent effect, velocity greater than 2m / s).5.The ideal Reynolds number of a smooth pipe wall is generally between 3000 and 9000.6.Effect of pipe diameter (DN50 ~ 100)
