Glycol Systems

Glycol chilling systems are an integral component in many industries where precise temperature control is required, such as food and beverage and manufacturing. These systems utilize a mixture of water and glycol (like propylene glycol or ethylene glycol), a common type of antifreeze, to maintain consistent temperatures in various processes. The primary difference between propylene and ethylene is that ethylene is toxic, while propylene glycol is non-toxic, so it can be used in food-grade applications. Though some refer to glycol as a refrigerant, it is more accurately described as an antifreeze or a type of coolant, rather than a typical refrigerant.

The operation of a chilling system involves a glycol chiller refrigeration unit, which is responsible for cooling the water-glycol mixture. This is achieved by compressing gas, which absorbs heat from the mixture and causes it to cool down. The coolant then converts back into a liquid state, and the process repeats. The chilled water-glycol mixture is then circulated through pipes, connecting to the equipment or processes that require cooling.

As the mixture flows, it absorbs heat from the surroundings, lowering the temperature. The warm water-glycol mixture is then returned to the glycol chiller, where it is re-cooled and ready to be recirculated. Glycol chillers give you precise and consistent temperature control, ensuring optimal operating conditions for various industrial processes. Additionally, the use of Glycol as an antifreeze allows glycol cooling systems to operate in extremely low temperatures without freezing.

Pre-owned systems, including chillers and coolers, can offer businesses and manufacturers the same level of functionality and reliability as new ones. Our pre-owned glycol chiller systems are carefully inspected, serviced, and refurbished to ensure that they are in excellent working condition. We also provide warranties and support, giving you peace of mind that your system will perform optimally.

In addition, opting for a pre-owned refrigeration system can also be an eco-friendly choice. By giving a second life to a previously owned chilling system, you contribute to reducing waste and the demand for new production. This aligns your business with sustainability goals and promotes an environmentally conscious image.

With so many refrigeration systems on the market, it can be hard to know which chiller is best for you. There are numerous brands, but we can assist you so that you get the right glycol refrigeration system for your facility. Some of the most popular cooling system brands that we offer include:
