FAQ – Ice Water & Glycol Tanks
Q: What size glycol tank should I choose for my brewery?
A: Tank size depends on your brewery’s cooling load and system design. Tonsen offers custom sizing from 100L to over 6000L to fit your needs.
Q: How does the insulation help in energy saving?
A: The 100mm PU foam insulation significantly reduces heat gain, minimizing chiller run time and lowering energy costs.
Q: Are these tanks compatible with all glycol types?
A: Yes, our tanks are compatible with common brewery glycol mixtures, including propylene glycol.
Q: Can the tanks be integrated into existing cooling systems?
A: Absolutely. Tonsen tanks are designed for easy integration with most commercial brewery glycol systems.
