Dairy hot water heater

badgerhowlin

Hi,

Maybe this should be over in the farming forum but said I would post here 1st.

I'm looking for a 200L stainless steal tank to heat water for a milking palour.

what would be the best electrical one to get?

Single\dual coil?

Thanks

Does it need to be stainless? How many units are you washing?

I have been told stainless steel is best.

There will be 8 units for the moment with space tor 2 more units

Ah fair enough, Atlantic heaters would be fairly popular, more seem to be going towards heat on demand, would be worth sticking a post in the dairy chit chat thread.

Wearb

Is there not a system available where the milk cooler contributes to the heating of the water.

Don't go reinventing the wheel here. Contact you local advisor and see what's recommended.

O there is. Dairymaster has a very good one swiftcool duo. But its way too expensive for me right at this moment

I think you're thinking of a heat exchanger, it'll pre heat the water using heat off the compressors but will still need a heater.
