lightcahill Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 We are trying to find an affordable way to wither reuse our cooling water or cool our condensor with glycol. We use about 6 gpm maximum. Is anybody currently doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick H Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You will overheat your glycol system, the reservoir is too small. I tried it. I took a liner from a 250 gal. dairy tank, soldered a grid of copper pipe,and lay it in bottom of tank. I then filled the tank with water and circulate glycol through the copper. Put a pump in the tank and run a loop through your condenser,returning water to the tank. I run a 300 gal stripping, a 140 gal. finish still, and cool my mash tank, all at the same time. The temp. will creep up over over 10 or 12 Hrs. but is manageable. Mick H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauport Bob Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 It is nice to have subjects pop up for new info. But, if you have not already read them, there are several threads here on ADI on the subject. All are informative. Underground cooling, pond use, chillers, re-use, etc. They are worth chrecking out.
