  • Glycol Volumes for PBST tanks

    Folks,

    I am hoping PBST tank users out there can help me out.
    I am trying to determine the volume within the cooling jackets of the following tanks from PBST:
    60 BBL Conical (all 3 zones)
    30 BB Conical (all 2 zones)
    60 BBL Brite (all 3 zones)
    30 BBL Brite (all 2 zones)
    Nanhua BR2A-JZH-14B (PBST supplied Heat Exchanger)
    KUB Chiller (PBST supplied)

    The obvious answer is to ask PBST. I have done that and weeks later, am still waiting on an answer. I need to get my glycol order in, but cannot do that without knowing how much to order.

    My back up plan is to partially disassemble the glycol lines, fill the cavities with water, and measure the run off. That is a royal pain since we have 15 different zones to consider. I am hoping someone in the ProBrewer community has the answers I need.

    Thanks all!

    I am in a similar conundrum. PBST has told me their 30bbl conical have a flowrate of 15.58gpm. But I am having trouble getting recommended temp in, temp out, and pressure drop. Let me know if you find more info on your 30bbl tanks.
    Likewise I am having the same problem with my GW Kent heat exchange in my glycol calculation. I was told there is no utility info available.
