What is the Purpose of an Industrial Chiller?
Industrial chillers are equipment used to remove heat from a liquid. Industrial chillers have been employed in breweries for the past several decades to control the temperature of liquids like wort and beer during all stages of production, including fermentation, storage, and packaging. Industrial chillers are also used to control humidity levels in brewery areas.
Five Industrial Chiller Related Questions
1. Outdoor Chiller versus an Indoor Chiller?
The main difference between industrial chillers is where they are located and how they function, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Industrial chillers that are designed to be placed outside or in a cold storage area typically have more space for larger components and the compressor is usually at one end of the chiller. Industrial chillers located indoors may need less room for equipment but can be limited by space constraints since most industrial chillers need to sit on a concrete floor where they can draw cool air in from outdoors. Industrial chillers that are designed for outdoor use typically run at a higher cycle rate than indoor industrial chillers, but they can be more expensive to operate. Industrial chillers that are designed to be placed indoors function more efficiently, but they also tend to cost more because of their smaller size and need for specialty insulation.
2. Are Industrial Chillers Expensive?
Industrial chillers can be expensive to purchase outright, but renting them could end up being a better option for your business over time. Industrial chillers range in price from $2,000 to several thousand dollars. Industrial chillers can require costly repairs if they are not maintained properly by the manufacturer. Industrial brewers must carefully choose between purchasing and renting an industrial chiller because of their high cost of upkeep and purchase. JC Younger Industrial Chillers provides professional services for installations and preventative maintenance, so you can ensure your chillers are operating at peak performance.
3. How Does an Industrial Chiller Work?
Industrial chillers take a liquid, like water or wort from a mash tun, and circulate it through a set of pipes to a compressor where the liquid is pressurized and forced through a condenser. The compressor pressurizes the liquid into a gas, where it then flows through the condenser. The condenser dissipates heat from the gas into water or air, removing heat from the refrigerant. The cooled refrigerant fluid is put back through the process to remove more heat until it has cooled down sufficiently. Industrial chillers can be used to maintain stable temperatures that are optimal for brewing. Industrial chillers can also be used to control humidity levels in brewery areas.
4. What Size Industrial Chiller Do I Need for my Brewery?
Brewery chiller sizing will be dependent on a number of factors, including the size and capacity of your brewery, how much fermentation capacity you have, and the size of your cold storage area. Industrial chillers operate more efficiently when they are sized to match your production needs. Industrial brewers should consider contacting JC Younger Industrial Chillers to discuss their needs and we’ll design a custom Industrial Chiller that will meet your unique requirements.
5. What is the Difference Between Glycol Line Chillers vs. Water-Cooled Chiller?
Industrial chillers are classified by the medium they use. Industrial chillers that use glycol or chilled water are called line-type or water-cooled chillers, while those that use air are called air-cooled chillers. Industrial line-type and air-cooled chillers can be further subdivided into direct expansion (DX) and indirect expansion (IX) according to the type of refrigeration cycle used. Industrial chillers that use DX refrigeration are generally smaller than those that use IX, but they usually have the higher cooling capacity and efficiency levels. Industrial chillers with IX refrigeration cycles usually have longer cooling capacities, but lower efficiencies than their counterparts with DX cycles. Industrial chillers with indirect refrigeration cycles can also include plate, tube, and desuperheater types, whereas DX chillers only use plate and tube types.
