By chilling the liquid glycol and pumping it into lines that run alongside the beer lines the beer is chilled and maintained within one degree of the temperature in the walk in cooler.
Glycol beer system temperature.
Micro matic has the equipment for your next system in stock.
Unfortunately if the glycol system is not.
Glycol systems have become very popular because of their ability to maintain the walk in cooler s temperature and deliver cold beer up to 500.
This is done by the power pack chilling and constantly.
Glycol cooled draft beer dispensing systems are typically used in commercial applications such as bars restaurants and stadiums.
Most glycol beer systems are 100 or less.
This temperature range will help maintain the correct beer line operating temperature from the keg cool room to the point of dispense minimising any warming and c02 breakout due to temperature degradation.
The heart of a glycol system is the power pack a refrigeration unit.
For the majority of long draw or commercial draft beer systems especially those running 6 or more beer lines or draft systems running over 15 feet a glycol cooled system is the way to go.
They assume that if the chiller system is at 27 f glycol the freezing point of the solution only needs to be below 27 f.
In a glycol beer system the multiple beer lines are combined side by side with glycol lines which are in turn bundled inside an insulating foam rubber tube.
Some brewing aficionados prefer cold room cooling with glycol over a direct refrigeration method.
This system implements a chiller also called a power pack 4 that uses the power of glycol to keep your beer cold from keg to tap.
Glycol chilled water reservoir tanks should maintain a temperature range of minus 2 degrees celsius to minus 4 degrees celsius.
Usp grade glycol will help put on the brakes letting you have better control of internal temperatures and fermentation as a whole and giving you more quality control over your beer.
The best way to guarantee exact target temperature in your draft system is by installing a glycol system for long draw setups up to 450 away from cooler.
Many brewery operators don t understand why so much glycol is needed in their chiller system.
But you must keep in mind the temperature of the refrigerant will be 10 15 f below the temperature of the glycol.
There are few things a beer drinker hates more than beer that is not cold.
These systems use a secondary refrigeration unit called a power pack or glycol chiller to maintain draft beer at the proper temperature all the way from the walk in cooler to the point of dispense.
They keep beer cold so that bars can serve the frostiest beverages possible to their clientele.
That is why glycol systems exist.
These chilling systems utilize trunk lines cooled beer towers and a glycol chiller.
It s the key to consistently pouring the perfect glass of beer.
