The importance of heat exchanger in your brewery

Recent years, a sea of people who are interested in brewing craft beer have built own brewery equipment. As we all know, a complete set of brewery equipment includes malt miller, brewhouse with different configuration, plate heat exchanger, fermentation unit, glycol water unit, CIP system and control unit etc. Wort cooling keeps a important step in brewing process, and we tend to utilize plate heat exchanger to achieve wort cooling. So, let us show you a specification of heat exchanger and the process of wort cooling.

The equipment for rapid cooling of wort is a plate heat exchanger (referred to as heat exchanger), in which the wort is cooled by cold water and the heat exchange is carried out through stainless steel sheets. In the heat exchanger, cold water cools the hot wort from 95°C to 98°C to the inoculation temperature, while the cold water is heated to a certain temperature. During this process, the heat from the hot wort is transferred to the cold water.
