Diploma in Brewing Module 3 - 2025

This lesson introduces the Heat Transfer Unit. It also contains a brief overview of the topics that you will study in the unit, as well as examples in brewing and malting.

This lesson deals with the principles and application of a form of heat transfer called conduction. More specifically, we look at definitions, typical values for some important constants, and brewery-specific conduction examples.

This lesson allows you to test yourself on the material covered in the lesson on Principals of Heat Transfer and Conduction, and to determine the level to which you have met the learning outcomes.

This lesson deals with the principles and application of a form of heat transfer called convection. More specifically, it describes the heat transfer mechanisms that involve convection and calculation methods for heat transfer rates determined by convection and phase changes.

This lesson allows you to test yourself on the material covered in the lesson on Convection, and to determine the level to which you have met the learning outcomes.

This lesson deals with the principles and application of a form of heat transfer called radiation. This lesson will also combine the heat transfer methods you learned previously to provide an overall picture of heat transfer processes in a brewery.  

This lesson allows you to test yourself on the material covered in the lesson on Principals of Heat Transfer – Radiation and Combined, and to determine the level to which you have met the learning outcomes.

This lesson focuses on the two main heat exchangers found in breweries, namely plate heat exchangers and shell and tube heat exchangers. The lesson will examine the components, assembly, and operation of these exchangers. It will also discuss how to select and size a heat exchanger and the considerations for cleaning, maintaining, and operating heat exchangers in the brewing process.

This lesson allows you to test yourself on the material covered in the Heat Exchangers lesson and determine the level to which you have met the learning outcomes.

This lesson explores another type of common heat transfer equipment used in brewing, namely jacketed vessels. It investigates the application, specifications, and the operating conditions of these exchangers. It also looks at their design and sizing considerations.

This lesson allows you to test yourself on the material covered in the Jacketed Vessel lesson and determine the level to which you have met the learning outcomes.

This lesson allows you to test yourself on the material covered in the Heat Transfer unit and determine the level to which you have met the learning outcomes.
