HWT-12000 : Hot water tank 12000 liters

There is necessary to have enough of drinking hot water available during beer production process. Hot water is used for mixing malt mash in water in process production of wort, for showering of wort during the wort filtration process, for cleaning and sanitizing of the brewhouse and other vessels etc.

The hot water tank HWT-10000 (boiler) is equipped with a water pumping unit. It is designed for storage of 12000 liters preheated water from the first cooling stage and following heating up to 80°C. The container is made of material  AISI 316L, DIN 17 349, AKV extra 2.

Four variants of heating system :

• SH – Steam heating system – water is heated with hot steam (requires an external hot steam generator). Includes the water pressure station.
• EH – Electric heating system – water is heated with electric heating spirals. Includes the water pressure station.
• BH – Both heating systems – both electric and steam heating (requires an external hot steam generator). Includes the water pressure station.
• NH – Without a heating system – only for storage of externally heated water without any own heating system

The Waterworks

The waterworks is always a part of the hot water tank delivery.
A water station is a device that ensures that hot water is available at the required pressure (usually 4 bar) at the outlet of the tank. From the point of view of the powered equipment, the hot water tank therefore appears as a standard water supply connection with a supply of pressurized hot water.
