I am in the process of planning our glycol.
This is for a 10bbl system with 20bbl CLT, 6 20bbl fermenters, and 2 20bbl brites (and possibly a glycol cooled walk in)
The Chinese quote we've gotten includes two very small glycol chillers (5hp) and a huge glycol reservoir (20bbl).
The prorefrigeration quote I got clocks us in at needing 32,000 BTU/HR for just the fermentation side.
My question is, although the Chinese chillers are quite small, the reservoir seems exceedingly large, could this increased thermal mass make up for the lack of power in the chillers themselves?
