Dear All,

Our brewery is maintaining Cylindroconical Tanks (CCT) temperature @ -1degC of the beer. Our current suction pressure was set at 30 psig, -8degC. I am investigating of increasing the suction pressure to 35 psig,-6degC in order to minimized power consumption of the compressor. Is this possible for a brewery plant?
