Glycol Chiller | STACT Air Cooled Chillers
Glycol Chiller System
Glycol chillers are at the heart of the refrigeration system commonly used in breweries and wineries. They are the ultimate solution for maintaining an ideal temperature for your food products using a reliable temperature control mechanism.
No two wineries or breweries have the same exact needs, so there is no one-size-fits-all glycol system suitable for all sites and applications. A variety of factors come into play when choosing the design of the glycol chiller, which is why a customized solution is of utmost importance. You need a system that meets your unique needs.

Understanding Glycol Systems
Glycol systems use innovative features to keep beverages cool. Understanding how the system works can help you find a suitable chiller for your application.
What Are Glycol Chillers?
Glycol chillers are small, compact refrigerators used to cool beer and wine. Propylene glycol plays an essential role in glycol chillers and is commonly used as an antifreeze in refrigerators and HVAC systems. This chemical compound is responsible for cooling the liquid while maintaining a constant temperature and preventing the system from freezing.
The propylene glycol is mixed with water before being placed in the glycol refrigeration system. By adding propylene glycol to water, we can cool the water below its freezing point since propylene glycol has a freezing point of -74 degrees Fahrenheit (-59 degrees Celsius).
Using propylene glycol, glycol chillers can keep beer at a specific temperature as it is poured by cooling it as it runs from the walk-in cooler to the beer tower. Causing the water to reach its freezing point allows us to cool the beer while it runs through the beer line.
The Benefits of Using Glycol Chillers for a Brewery
Why should breweries and wineries use glycol chillers? These systems offer ideal conditions for beer and wine, such as:
- Consistent temperatures: With a glycol chiller, your beer will remain at a constant temperature while being stored and when you pour it.
- Long-distance capabilities: Glycol chillers allow you to deliver beer over a distance of up to 450 feet.
- Reduced foam: You can look forward to foam-free beer since the beer stays in contact with the glycol lines while being poured, reducing your beer wastage.
- Energy efficiency: Since glycol is a natural coolant, it is more environmentally friendly. Our glycol chillers will keep your utility bills down and reduce your carbon footprint while delivering exceptional performance.
- Improved safety: Glycol chillers are resistant to corrosion, rust and scales, reducing the risk of refrigerator leaks. Another safety advantage is that glycol and water offer protection against a buildup of bacteria and algae.
- Extended life spans: Glycol chillers require little maintenance and provide many years of high-performance cooling.
Applications of Glycol Chillers
Glycol chillers are typically used for breweries since the industry has strict requirements for keeping beer at the correct temperature. However, glycol chillers also make an appearance in grocery stores, ice rinks and dairy processing plants.
Here at Smart Family, we provide glycol chiller installations for many different industries. You can count on us to help you find the right chiller to suit your application and deliver exceptional results.
