I. System Components
This system is mainly composed of glycol coolant, refrigeration unit, heat exchanger, pump and pipelines.
II. Refrigeration Process
- 1.First, 1The Brewery Chiller unit works and cools the glycol coolant to the required low temperature state. Generally, the refrigeration unit uses a compression refrigeration cycle to absorb heat and reduce temperature by compressing and expanding the refrigerant.
- 2. The low-temperature glycol coolant is transported to the heat exchanger under the action of the pump.
- 3. The heat exchanger is a key component that enables heat exchange between the glycol coolant and beer. Beer flows in the pipeline of the heat exchanger, while the glycol coolant flows in another set of pipelines. Heat is transferred between them through heat conduction.
- 4. Due to the low temperature of the glycol coolant, the heat in beer is transferred to the glycol, thus rapidly reducing the temperature of beer.
- 5. After heat exchange, the temperature of the glycol coolant rises. It will return to the refrigeration unit again, be re-cooled, and then be recycled.
Through this continuous circulation process, the Glycol Beer Chilling system can continuously cool beer to the required temperature to ensure that beer maintains good quality and taste during production, storage and transportation.
