Hello,
We are into our 3rd 10 bbl batch on system and we are struggling with our heat exchanger. We bought this unit https://www.gwkent.com/heat-exchanger.html the 6.0 meter unit
from GW Kent but the support seems to be lacking.
We have a 1HP c-114 pump with 1.5 TC in and 1.5 TC out the pump runs at about 1725rpm. And outputs about 40gpm. when we push this thru our new heat exchanger we get about 3PM. So here is where things get weird when I called them the told me the labels for the input/outputs where backward. So we flipped them. Then they told us to loosen the bolt but couldn't tell to what with. just loosen till it leaks. So we tried that then ended up getting about 6gpm out of the unit but then the water side was leaking.
At this point we don't know what to do other than to plan on 1.5 hour chill down... is there anybody out there using this unit with any success and can give me the width you are running your plates at?
Thanks!
