DBI Project Details:
-
PROJECT: Glycol Chiller Installation
-
CLIENT: Common Space Brewery
-
LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA
-
SERVICES: Glycol Chiller Installation, G&D Chillers, Refrigeration, and Brewery Equipment
The Common Space team designed and laid out its brewery in coordination with Prospero Equipment Corporation and G&D Chillers. Prospero provided all of the brewery equipment for the Common Space brewery.
G&D Chillers provided a 30 HP glycol chiller to service the brewery equipment, which included chiller system design and the brewery piping schematics.
Draft Beer Intelligence was tasked with the installation of the refrigerated glycol chiller. We landed the condenser on the roof platform and experienced a challenging twenty-six (26) hour period connecting refrigerant piping through a tight attic space between the chiller and condenser coil.
Upon completing the refrigerant line connections, we pressure tested the lines from the glycol chiller to the condenser coil. The DBI team performed a full vacuum and micron check of the refrigeration system.
Once we verified the system was fully evacuated and leak-free, we performed start-up procedures for the process piping and refrigeration circuits.
We use the control panel PLC (programmable logic controller) to observe system performance in real-time during the system start-up. This control panel makes troubleshooting and benchmarking the system performance much easier for both a technician and the end-user.
This G&D Chiller has VFDs that regulate pump and fan motor output to the required load making it energy efficient. This panel also has an optional remote monitoring capability that allows the brewery team to track their chiller operation 24/7.
G&D Chillers builds its equipment in the United States, and the entire team is “Committed to Cold,” and as a result of this commitment, you can rest easy knowing your chiller is going to perform day in and day out. Upon completing this installation, fermentation became a reality for the Common Space team.
