In some cases, the initial investment and operating costs of direct fire heating may be lower than other heating methods (such as steam heating).
Flexibility:
The direct fire heating system can quickly adjust the fire power as needed to adapt to different brewing needs.
Simple Design:
Direct fire heating systems are relatively simple in design and easy to maintain and operate.
High temperature capability:
Able to reach higher temperatures, suitable for certain brewing processes.
cons:
Uneven heat:
Direct fire heating may cause uneven heat distribution, increase the risk of scorching or scorching, and affect the flavor of the beer.
Low energy efficiency:
The energy loss of direct fire heating is large, which may result in the overall energy efficiency being lower than other heating methods.
Safety Hazards:
Direct fire heating presents a fire risk and requires strict safety measures and monitoring.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
Direct fire heating systems may require more frequent cleaning and maintenance to prevent the formation of carbon deposits and other contaminants.
Impact on the environment:
Direct fire heating may produce more exhaust gas and pollutants, affecting the environment.
pros:
High energy efficiency:
Electric heating systems usually have high energy conversion efficiency and can convert electrical energy into heat energy more effectively, reducing energy waste.
Accurate temperature control:
The electric heating system can achieve precise temperature control to ensure temperature stability during the brewing process, helping to improve the quality of beer.
High security:
Compared to direct fire heating, electric heating systems have a lower fire risk and are safer to operate.
Easy to clean and maintain:
Electric heating systems generally do not involve a combustion process, reducing the complexity of cleaning and maintenance.
Environmentally Friendly:
The electric heating system does not produce direct exhaust emissions during operation and is more environmentally friendly.
Flexibility:
Heating power can be quickly adjusted as needed to adapt to different brewing needs.
cons:
High initial investment:
The initial investment cost of electric heating systems is usually higher, especially if high-power equipment is required.
Power Dependence:
Reliance on power supply, if there is a power outage or power shortage, production may be affected.
Operating Cost:
In some areas, the cost of electricity may be higher than other energy sources (such as natural gas), resulting in increased operating costs.
Heating speed:
Although electric heating systems are energy efficient, in some cases they may not heat as quickly as direct fire heating.
Equipment Complexity:
Electric heating systems may require more complex control systems and electrical installations, increasing operational complexity.
pros:
Even heating:
Steam heating provides even heat distribution, reducing the risk of local overheating or coking, helping to improve beer quality.
High energy efficiency:
Steam systems usually have high energy conversion efficiency and can effectively utilize heat energy and reduce energy costs.
Temperature Control:
The steam heating system can achieve precise temperature control, suitable for brewing processes that require strict temperature control.
Security:
Compared with direct fire heating, steam heating has a lower fire risk and is safer to operate.
Adaptable:
Steam can be used for a variety of heating needs, including saccharification, boiling and cleaning, etc., with high flexibility.
Reduce pollution:
The steam heating process does not produce direct exhaust gas emissions and is more environmentally friendly.
cons:
High initial investment:
The initial investment cost of a steam heating system is usually higher, including boilers, piping and control systems.
Complex maintenance:
Steam systems require regular maintenance and inspections to ensure the safety and efficiency of boilers and pipes.
Energy Loss:
During the steam transfer process, heat loss may occur, affecting overall energy efficiency.
Dependence on water sources:
Steam systems require a large amount of water, and poor water quality may affect the operation of the system and the quality of the beer.
Operational Complexity:
The operation and control of steam systems are relatively complex and require professional management and maintenance.
pros：
1. Installation cost is much lower than steam system
2. Evaporation rate can be adjusted by controlling oil temperature.
3. Heating rod can be operated independently, low power requirement.
4. All tanks contain cip cleaning balls for easy cleaning
5. Modular design, save space

7. Comes with heat exchanger
8. It occupies a small area, with casters at the bottom, you can roll it into place
9. Oil heating system is suitable for single-phase electricity, suitable for small brewing places such as bars.
cons:
Only one oil change is required every three years
Heated oil is circulated around jacketed tanks to heat and boil gently
All the benefits of steam without the complexity of a steam generator
No internal electrical elements in direct contact with wort
Much lower electrical amp requirements than traditional elements
1bbl, 2bbl, 3bbl, 5bbl, & 10bbl oil heated brewhouse available—contact our COFF sales representatives to inquire!
The popular specifications of oil heated brewhouse are 2 BBL Oil heated brewhouse, 3 Vessel Oil Heated Brewhouse, and 5 BBL Oil heated brewhouse. This small capacity brewhouse is very suitable for the following application scenarios.
1.System Composition
Oil Boiler: Used to heat oil, usually by burning oil or electric heating.
Hot oil circulation pump: transports heated hot oil to brewing equipment.
Heat exchanger: transfers the heat of the hot oil to the wort in the brewing equipment.
Control System: used to monitor and regulate temperature and pressure.
2. Heating process
Oil Heating: Oil boilers heat oil to the required temperature, usually between 150°C and 300°C.
Hot Oil Circulation: Hot oil is delivered to the heat exchanger through a circulation pump.
Heat transfer: The hot oil transfers heat to the wort through the heat exchanger for saccharification, boiling and other processes.
Temperature Control: Monitor and adjust the temperature of the oil through the control system to ensure temperature stability during the brewing process.
3. Brewing Steps
Malt Crushing: Crushing malt into particles to facilitate the subsequent saccharification process.
Saccharification: Mix the crushed malt with hot water, and use hot oil to heat the wort to promote the saccharification reaction.
Filter: Separate liquid wort and solid residue through the lauter pot.
Boiling: Boil the wort and add hops, using hot oil to maintain the boiling temperature.
Cooling: The boiled wort is cooled through the heat exchanger and prepared for fermentation.
In order to improve brewing efficiency and reduce cleaning costs, the ölbeheiztes Sudhaus has made many optimizations to the cleaning process.
1. The entire system has a built-in cip cycle, so that some chemicals can be cleaned while boiling.
2. A spray ball is installed on the back of the system so that each system can be cleaned separately.
3. A filter is set at the bottom of the system. This filter is a double-layer structure, with a screen-like barrier inside and a stronger and rougher barrier outside, which can prevent large impurities from clogging the heat exchanger
