I've studied the diagram for a basic brewery chilling system on Pro Refrigeration's site (very useful site, by the way) and I have a question about the solenoid valves.
It seems to me that they would be better on the return leg from the fermenters and brites, thus making sure that the jackets were somewhat pressurized and consequently always full. Maybe we don't want constant pressure on our jackets? But with the throttle on the input side, isn't there the possibility that the glycol could conceivably be drawn out of the jackets leaving them not full? I know that would take some suction, but maybe from a small leak somewhere? Maybe this is picking at nits, but inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks in advance.
Politicians and diapers need to be changed often, and for the same reason...
