Glycol Chillers

Introduction:

A Tipo  glycol chillers is the heart of a glycol system. A glycol system works in an excellent way when you wish to have a reliable temperature control over storage temperature.  A properly set up glycol system enables you to control fermentation vessels, cellar and storage tanks with a single machine.  It is your cooling line.

Understanding the Functional Aspects:

A properly set up glycol system enables you to control fermentation vessels, cellar and storage tanks with a single machine.

Glycol Chillers Includes:

Glycol Chiller include both ,

1. Air cooled glycol chiller and

2.Water cooled glycol chiller.

It belongs to LA / LW  low temperature chiller series.

Controlling the Flow:

Glycol is chilled under the freezing point of water which makes it effective for cooling.  To maintain a temperature higher than freezing, you require adjusting the flow rate of the glycol by using a heat exchanger.  It can be done manually as well as automatically.
You can do this manually by inserting a shut-off valve and opening or closing as it requires, you can regulate the temperature of the liquid.  However, you need to monitor it consistently to make it work.
