INTRODUCTION
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The basic principle of the Fermentation Temperature Stabilization System
(FTSs) is to pump chilled glycol through the jacket of your vessel when the
temperature of your wort is greater than the controller set-point.
The FTSs is intended to be a low pressure closed loop system. Glycol pumped from the glycol chiller to the fermenter is then returned to the glycol chiller to be used again.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLING THE 1.5” TC SLEEVED THERMOWELL ADAPTER
Next submerge the pump(s) in the glycol solution, and top off the reservoir to
about the 90% full level, making sure the evaporator coil is sufficiently
submerged. This will allow glycol to flow through each fermenter’s jacket
without risking the chance of flowing back to the reservoir and overflowing
the reservoir. Use the reservoir’s sight glass as an indicator for glycol
level. Reinstall the reservoir lid, and route the pump’s lead wire (s)
through the notch when the evaporator coil enters the reservoir.
Supply Line- Extend a length of silicone tubing between the glycol chiller’s outlet barb and the hose barb on the check valve at the tank (Fig. A). Be sure to install the tubing to the barb that corresponds to the pump’s outlet. Secure each end of the tubing to the barbs using hose clamps.
Return Line- Extend a length of silicone tubing between the hose barb on the tank’s jacket outlet (Fig. B) and the glycol chiller’s return barb. Secure each end of the tubing using hose clamps.
Note: If additional tubing is required to span the distance between the
chiller and fermenter, you can purchase more at
www.ssbrewtech.com or pick some up at your local
hardware store.
Note: Be sure to use Teflon tape on any threaded fittings
