BRUGG fermenter heating
In order to ensure optimal heat
transfer to the substratum, the
BIOFLEX CNW 60/66 (DN 50)
corrugated pipe is fixed to the wall
of the fermentation tank in one or
more heating coils.
In addition to the corrugated pipe
CNW 60/66, the system package
also includes the GRAPA con-
nector system, the necessary wall
through-connections including
seals and the special brackets for
securing the piping to the fer-
menter wall.
There are two different options for
connecting the corrugated pipes
to the hot water mains:
Connection inside
the fermenter
With the connection inside the
tank the corrugated pipe is con-
nected to a rigid pipe by means
of the flameless GRAPA graphite
connector system. This is then led
out of the fermenter through the
fermenter wall.
Connection outside
the fermenter
In this variant, in order to set up
the connection with the corru-
gated pipe using the flameless
GRAPA graphite connector
system outside the fermenter,
the corrugated pipe
is

through a small bending radius
and led through a pipe sleeve
which passes through the fer-
menter wall. This does away
with the need for a joint in the
fermenter.
