Should we have Cold liquid tank into system?
For most US or New Zealand customers, they usually choose cold liquid tank(CLT) for cooling ,except a small tank Glycol liquid tank(GLT) with Glycol/water (5:5)
The GLT will cool down CLT and Fermenters, while, the CLT will cool wort separately. Also in part countries, there are regulations stipulated it is not allowed to use Glycol water to cool wort directly for 100% safety.
While, There are also some customers only use GLT for wort cooling and ferments cool down. It is cost-effective, and legal.

Should we have cold liquid tank into system? ?
The answer is Yes, or No.
In actual brewing process, The mostly cooling energy will work for hot wort cooling, the wort will be cooled from 98℃ to 9℃~18℃ (lager/ale), it need large cooling to finish it in short time about 30 minutes. So if there is a CLT for cooling down wort is much helpful. The CLT need to get ready chilled cold water in advance for wort cooling.
The cold water pass through heat Exchanger( for wort cooling) will be heated up to 50~60℃, and transfer to hot liquid tank. You could use this part water to start next batch mashing, or sparing or pipeline sterilization, it will help you save energy and time to heat water again.
If you plan to brew many batches per day, and your brewhouse is above 2000L or 15BBL, There should have a CLT.
Usually, The hot water tank is 1.5~2 times of brewhouse, and cold water tank same size as hot liquid tank.
Of course, if you only brew one batch per day, and your brewhouse is under 1000L, only GLT is OK.
