We have 3 7bbl vessels on hand in which we plan on using glycol to chill. Has anyone retrofitted uninsulated vessels for use with glycol?
We are metal fabricators by trade and can build something just need help with surface area, flow rates, btu’s Etc! The first idea was to form 3-4 1/2” deep channels and weld directly to vessel for the glycol loop. These channels would have jumper pipes for continuous flow.. We would them cap with a stainless channel and spray foam inside for insulation. Approx 2-3” thick.
Anyone go down this road before? Can you share your experiences? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
