you need to provide additional information like
1. starting temp of your brine
2. final temp of your brine
3. composition of your brine
4. is the brine stagnant or flowing. if its flowing provide the flow rate.
5. the altitude above sea level where the tank is going to be used
6. material of construction of the tank
7. describe the application of the brine tank

then resonable calculations can be done for you.

The answer might lie in his other thread on this subject HERE (http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/forums/showthread.php?43377-New-Member&p=298599&highlight=#post298599)...
