EXACTAP™ Long Draw

In our Long Draw or Remote System, the dispense point is located away from the beer keg. The beer keg can be inside a cold room or at an ambient temperature. In order to keep the beer cold on its way to the dispense point, a trunk/python line is normally utilized to insulate the beer.

• In the U.S. market, kegs are kept inside a cold room at dispense temperatures between 2-3°C. The beer in the trunk/python line is kept cold all the way to the dispense point through a glycol recirculation chiller placed outside the cold room. Keg management inside the cold room is critical, as beer needs to be at the correct dispense temperature before tapping.
• In the European market, kegs are kept either inside a cold room or at an ambient temperature.
  • In a cold room, kegs are kept at temperatures between 13-15°C. The beer is further chilled at the dispense temperature by means of an ice bank cooler placed outside the cold room. The cooler also re-circulates cold water inside the trunk/python line to keep beer cold all the way to the dispense point.
  • In ambient temperature kegs, the beer is directly chilled at the dispense temperature by an ice bank cooler. The cooler also re-circulates cold water inside the trunk/python line. The dimensioning of the ice bank cooler size is critical for peak dispense time demand, especially for kegs kept at high ambient temperatures.
• With EXACTAP™ Long Draw installations, please provide:
  • 100 PSI of pneumatic pressure to the tower. Our pressure regulators supply CO2 and/or mixed gas balance pressure to the keg, along with 100 PSI of pressure from the same gas cylinder. Compressed air can also be utilized if available.
  • Electrical cables to connect EXACTAP™ to the Electronic Fob Detector
