Glycol Chiller System

Product Description

A glycol chiller system isan industrial refrigeration system that uses a mixture of water and glycol like ethylene or propylene glycol as a coolant to achieve temperatures below the freezing point of water often used in applications like brewing food processing and ice rinks

Heres a more detailed explanation

Function

Glycol chillers are designed to cool liquids or processes by circulating a chilled glycolwater solution through a closedloop system

Coolant

The glycolwater mixture acts as a coolant preventing the system from freezing at low temperatures

Types of Glycol

Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol can be used with propylene glycol being a foodgrade option

Applications

BrewingCooling wort unfermented beer and fermenters to control fermentation temperatures

Food ProcessingCooling various food products and processes

Ice RinksChilling the water to create ice

Industrial ProcessesCooling equipment and processes in various industries

How it works

A refrigeration unit chills the glycolwater mixture

The chilled coolant is pumped through a heat exchanger or coils

The heat exchanger transfers heat from the process liquid or equipment to the coolant

The warmed coolant returns to the refrigeration unit for cooling and the process repeats

Benefits

LowTemperature CoolingGlycol chillers can achieve temperatures significantly below freezing

Freeze ProtectionThe antifreeze properties of glycol prevent the coolant from freezing

VersatilityGlycol chillers can be used in various industrial and commercial applications
