Calculating the Maximum Volume of Fermentor that can be used without Additional Cooling
Not what you're looking for?
The heat generated by fermentor is 60 kcal/hr L. The cooling capacity of jacket is 10,000 kcal/hr m^2. For a cylindrical fermentor with H/D of 3, the jacket area (m^2) is porportional to fermentor volume (m^3) to the 2/3 power.
Area of Jacket (m^2) = 7*v^(2/3) (m^3)
