Bore hole water in the UK is pretty stable at around 12C. If you can pre-cool to 10C, you are doing rather well! From experience in manufacturing and selling milk cooling tanks with integral data logging, an average would appear to be around 18C after pre-cooling. Of course, the surface area of the heat exchanger and the cooling water flow rate has an influence.
Agreed . Our tank reads just over 15 degrees on milk fed in by the robots after collection, and before the condenser kicks in. That's going through a lely tube cooler, whith 30 seconds of water flow after the pump stops.
