30 Plate Wort Chiller SWEP

Product detailed description

Stainless Steel Plate Wort Chiller SWEP E8LASH 30 Plates, made of stainless steel (AISI 316) and brazed with pure copper.

The cooling speed of the wort depends on the tap water temperature and flow rate. It is possible to cool the wort with a small heat exchanger, but it will require a large amount of cooling water. In the long run, it is more economical to purchase a more efficient exchanger, thus reducing the consumption of cold water.

Specifications:

• Asymmetrical design and narrower channels, providing much greater efficiency compared to similar heat exchangers
• Extremely effective for cooling wort, especially with small flow rates
• Better cooling performance and reduced cold water consumption
• Suitable for flow rates of 300 to 600 liters of wort per hour
• 4x external 3/4" thread connections
• Dimensions (H × W × D): 315 × 74 × 46 mm
• Vertical installation recommended
• Plate heat exchangers should be connected in counterflow for optimal efficiency

We recommend vertical installation to minimize sediment buildup and facilitate easier cleaning. Plate heat exchangers cannot be cleaned mechanically as they are non-dismantlable. Regular chemical cleaning is necessary to prevent clogging. The chiller should be flushed in the opposite direction of normal operation. Use appropriate chemicals for cleaning based on the type of contamination:

• Limescale: We recommend cleaning the exchanger with 5% phosphoric acid or 5% oxalic acid. These acids corrode copper, which the plates are brazed with. Therefore, neutralize with 1-2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃).

• Biological/organic deposits: Clean with 4% sodium hydroxide. Use a circulating pump with double flow in the reverse direction of normal operation. The cleaning temperature should not exceed 80°C, as higher temperatures increase corrosiveness and may damage the exchanger.
