At least ten meters usually sepa­rate a beer barrel from the beer tap at the bar. With this distance, it could mean you get a warm beer on a hot summer’s day. This problem doesn’t just impact upon the taste, but also goes against regu­la­tions. Bar oper­a­tors need to ensure a temper­a­ture of four degrees Celsius at all times. Pump systems such as ecoFLO^® from the British manu­fac­turer Cornelius there­fore have hoses with inte­grated cooling, known as pythons.

An ebm-papst immer­sion pump tire­lessly dissi­pates the heat from the beer. The ecoFLO^® features another high­light that saves the bar oper­ator money. Instead of contin­u­ously cooling the beer in the hose and in barrels, even when it is not needed, the ecoFLO^® only jumps into action if there is a risk of the temper­a­ture rising. This saves around 42 percent on energy costs.
