Im in the process of making some alterations to my kettle. It's a 1400 Litre rectangular milk tank. I currently have two propane burners underneath but am looking for a safer/more efficient method that also meets my local council regulations.
My idea is to weld a ~3 inch diameter stainless tube the entire length of the kettle (in a straight line) through the middle, mount an oil/gas burner to one end and have a flue coming out the other directly outside.
I'm not sure what diameter of pipe to use, whether I need positive pressure to draw the flame out the flue and what sort of burner would work best for the job.
The other option is to use what I currently have, but it needs an interlock system and extraction canopy which is a more expensive version.
My HLT and MT are both old dairy tanks that work very efficiently.
Brewery located in Ireland.
Any help/info appreciated.
Thanks
