We have two different brite tanks. One is a Newlands 40 bbl with a side jacket and a bottom jacket. It is labelled to have the glycol inlet come in at the highest point of the jacket, and leave out of the bottom. We also have an 80 bbl Mueller tank, with the same jacket design, but it is labelled to have the glycol enter the jacket at the bottom and leave at the top.
We can't get the Newlands tank colder than 40 F with 28 F glycol inlet. But the Mueller will get down to 35 F. Same pressure, piping diameter, etc. I'm going to try to reverse the plumbing on the Newlands tank to see if it makes any difference. Has anyone else run into this problem?
