Hi brewers,
We are building a 15hl brewery. The question i have about the heat exchanger is how much wort does the average size heat exchanger for this size brewery hold. I have sourced a couple such as this one....
Plate Type, Alfa Laval, 2 Stage, Model P2-HB
235mm wide x 700mm long plates, 15 plates in first stage and 21 plates in second stage, 50mm diameter inlet and outlet, 10 bar pressure, 130 degree maximum temperature, 91 litres capacity, year 1987, Size: 5.9_sq m
Firstly is this heat exchanger a good choice?
also what do you brewers do when the kettle is empty and you want to get the last bit of wort out of the heat exchanger? it says this one is 91litres which to us seems like a hell of a lot.
this is around $500US and to me looks like a great unit, iam just after any input i can get. What iam concerned about mostly is, is this a good unit for us or not? if not why not?
any input would be very great thank you brewers.
Thanx and many ales.
