The Wort Cooler reliably reduces the wort temperature to the required pitching temperature . A plate heat exchanger is used for wort cooling. Depending on the process concept, cooling takes place in one or two stages – with high energy efficiency through the use of brewing water as a cooling medium and the recovery of energy for the next brew.


 Application
 In breweries, wort cooling is usually carried out as follows:
 
 
 after boiling the spices
 
 
 after the separation of suspended solids

 The goal is a defined, reproducible start-up temperature for the next process step.


 Cooling principle
 The cooling process can be carried out in one or two steps:
 1) Single-stage process (brewing water as the only cooling medium)
 
 
 Cold brewing water is used as a cooling medium.
 
 
 The brewing water can be cooled to approximately 1 °C in a separate cooler (operated with glycol , ammonia or brine ).
 
 
 The wort enters the plate heat exchanger at approximately 100 °C .
 
 
 In the heat exchanger, the wort temperature drops to approximately 2-3 °C .
 
 
 At the same time, the temperature of the brewing water rises to approximately 80 °C .
 
 
 The heated brewing water is used for the next batch – the energy is fed back into the brewing process.

 2) Two-stage process (pre-cooling + final cooling)
 
 
 Step 1: The hot wort is first cooled to approximately 20 °C using brewing water.
 
 
 Step 2: In the second step, cooling to the starting temperature is carried out using glycol, ammonia or brine.
 
 
 The warm brewing water can also be used for the next brew.
