It is usually a daunting task to start up a new beer brewery. One product that is often overlooked but plays an important role in beer brewing is glycol chiller. We all know it is indispensable part no matter for wort cooling or beer cooling. As a professional beer brewery equipment manufacturer, we wanna talk about something about glycol chiller today.
I. Regarding the chiller quantity
When we make brewery equipment solution for our clients, we mostly recommend two smaller chillers instead of a bigger one. Firstly, those two chillers could work alternatively, which is good for the chiller lifetime. When you are in unbusy brew days, now only fermenters need cooling, it is ok to start only one set chiller. Secondly, it is more safer for beer with 2 chillers working. Once any one chiller got problem, another one could still work to keep beer cold.
II. Regarding the chiller installation
Prior to receiving your chiller, consider the location for the unit. This allows you to place the glycol chiller at the time of delivery especially if you have rented or borrowed moving equipment.
For most of our clients, outdoor chiller installation is more common, consider the security of the unit to avoid any possible theft or damage. Fencing around the chiller is most common, but be sure the fence isn’t too close to restrict airflow. Also, you may need to pour a concrete pad or install a metal support frame. These should be constructed prior to the chiller’s arrival; so it can be moved into place at time of delivery.
Airflow is crucial for a glycol chiller’s operation. The exhaust air from the chiller is how it removes the heat from the system. It cannot be installed in a confined place or in a corner. Proper clearance around the chiller ensures airflow but also allows for maintenance access. To ensure proper airflow and space for maintenance allow a minimum of 36 inches of clearance between the sides of the equipment and any walls or obstructions. You may also want to avoid locating it near customers or seating areas due to the noise level of a chiller.
