The whirlpool tun is one of the most important vessel in beer brewery equipment, it is the most commonly used device for separating hot break during beer brewing. The hot wort will be pumped into the whirlpool tun along the tangential whirlpool inlet and form a swirling flow. Under the influence of the gravity and the centripetal force, the hot break particle deposited in the bottom center of the whirlpool tun.
The whirlpool tun is a cylindrical vessel with flat bottom, the gradient of the outlet at about 1-2%. The ratio of the wort level to the tank diameter mostly at 1:2~3.
The tank inside should be totally smoothly and without any other extra devices such as the cooling coil, stair or inside jut manhole etc.
The tangential inlet mostly located on the 1/3 height of the tank body. Sometimes it is available to have two inlets for a better whirlpooling result.
Generally there will be 2-3 outlets, the upper outlet at 1/2-1/3 height of the liquid; the main outlet at nearly 1/10; and the bottom outlet located on the bottom of the tank. The flow speed should be pay attention when the valve is opened, the faster flow speed may will broken the sediment.
