I have a glycol chiller setup to a 20bbl tank that has 3 cooling zones. We are connected to two of those zones with our chiller and the third is open. My question is in regards to pump speed or more so understanding a phenomenon that I am seeing while we are attempting to crash this brite.
Here are the conditions:
1.) this is the only tank setup to the chiller.
2.) the chiller/glycol reservoir is holding at 29f
3.) the return water from the tank is coming back to the reservoir at nearly the same temp! 29-30f (no exchange in temp)
4.) The brite/tank temp is held at 44f and we are needing to be in the 34f range as a goal.
5.) no active fermentation is occurring therefore no major heat being generated internally.
6.) co2 head pressure is on, but no additional co2 added for a period of time to ensure that co2 is not altering temp/
Why am I seeing the 0-degree change in temp from the glycol in and out of the brite? Could it be pump speed? Should I cap the third (top) cooling zone that is above the beer/fluid line.
