How do you size a glycol chiller?

How do you size a glycol chiller?

Chillers are typically sized based on tonnage, so we have our total heat load in BTU/HR. To convert that to tons you simply divide the Total BTU/HR by 12,000 BTU, this will give you a result of refrigeration tons. From there you can select your chiller based on tonnage.Jan 18, 2016

What temperature should I set my glycol chiller?

Different applications call for different temperatures, but generally, most breweries set their glycol chiller temperatures at 28-30° F, while wineries typically set theirs at 30-35°F.Aug 16, 2016

How does a brewery glycol chiller work?

A glycol chiller for brewery systems circulates supercooled glycol around a closed circuit. This closed loop is comprised of tubing that connects to the input and output sections of the chiller unit, and the heat exchanger. To cool wort, the glycol then circulates through the heat exchanger, cooling the vessel.

Can you use a glycol chiller to cool wort?

While there are a variety of methods used in homebrewing beer, there are some that rely on cooling solutions with glycol additives. From cooling the wort to refrigerating your kegs, propylene glycol will help make sure temperatures stay at desired levels. Wort production: Many pro brewers use two stage wort chillers.Oct 25, 2019
