Abstract

See full text

A method for a multi-step supply of heat to at least one processing device in a brewhouse includes storing in an energy storage tank a heat transfer medium, which is heated by a heat recovery device before it is stored; in a first phase, supplying heat to the at least one processing device mainly by supplying the heat transfer medium from the energy storage tank to the at least one processing device; and, subsequently, in a second phase, supplying a heat amount, which increases over time, of heat of non-recuperative origin to the heat transfer medium supplied to the at least one processing device, and thus to the at least one processing device.
