Cylindroconical tanks: Considerations relating to tank and cooling surface sizing
Horizontal and vertical cylindroconical tanks have become widely accepted during the past 40 years, both from a production point of view as well as in terms of acceptance by beer consumers. In order to guarantee production of high quality beers, scientists developed a series of quality criteria for cylindroconical tanks. This article addresses these tank criteria. Part 1 deals with tank and cooling surface sizing and Part 2, in a subsequent issue of Brauwelt International, will deal with enclosures of tanks.
