HOW DO YOU EVALUATE A CHILLER?
As a matter of fact, over 90% of chillers made don’t have the capacity a brewery, winery or distillery needs. There are a lot more computer rooms, fab shops, buildings, equipment and lasers in the world that need to be maintained at 60°F than there are breweries, wineries and distilleries.
What cooling is and how it works
At Tanktemp we believe that if you want something to work right, then you need to understand how it works.
single-phase vs. three-phase power
Everyone has single-phase power, the question is how big is your service? And, what are you running? The average service is 400 Amps up to 800 Amps in a box. We have seen more, but 400 Amps is the normal panel supply.
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR GLYCOL EQUIPMENT
The air is cooler at night. Crash tanks at night when the air is cool. Maintain the tanks during the day and save big. This can easily save up to 20% of overall cooling energy.
