Indoor Steam Condensation Stack:

Indoor steam condensation stacks are typically used in smaller brewhouse systems where space is limited. These devices are designed to capture steam and condense it into water before it is released into the atmosphere. The condensate is then either sent to the drain or collected for reuse. Indoor stacks are generally more cost-effective than outdoor venting devices because they require less material and labor to install. However, they may require additional ventilation and exhaust systems to ensure that the brewhouse is properly ventilated.

Indoor steam condensation stack is a preferred option as it is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. This system utilizes a condensation unit that collects and cools the steam, returning it to the hot water tank as water.

Indoor condensation stacks are typically used in situations where it is not possible or desirable to vent steam to the outside, such as in a confined space or in a building with limited ventilation.

The stack is designed to collect and condense steam from the brewing process, converting it back into water that can be safely discharged into the plumbing system.

Outdoor Steam Venting Device:

Outdoor steam venting devices, on the other hand, are typically used in larger brewhouse systems where there is ample space for installation. These devices are designed to vent steam directly to the atmosphere, without condensing it first. Outdoor vents are generally more expensive than indoor stacks because they require more material and labor to install.

Outdoor venting devices, such as chimneys or exhaust fans, are typically used when it is necessary to vent steam from the brewing process to the outside due to safety or ventilation concerns.

These devices can be used in situations where there is ample space outside the building for the steam to dissipate and where there are no concerns about steam causing damage to nearby structures or vegetation.

The venting device must be designed to handle the volume of steam produced by the brewing process, and it must be properly installed and maintained to ensure safe and efficient operation.

When deciding between an indoor condensation stack and an outdoor venting device, it is important to consider the specific needs and constraints of the brewing system and facility. Factors such as available space, ventilation requirements, and local regulations should all be taken into account when making a decision. It may also be helpful to consult with a professional engineer or brewery equipment supplier to ensure that the chosen solution is safe, effective, and compliant with local codes and regulations.
