Why glycol is used in chiller?
Using glycol in your chiller may prove to be beneficial because it reduces the freezing point of process fluid and ensures that it continues to flow at the operating temperature.
What type of glycol is used for chillers?
What Type of Glycol Should You Use in Your Chiller? For most chiller applications, a solution of water mixed with Inhibited Propylene Glycol (specially formulated for HVAC cooling systems) is recommended. Inhibited Propylene Glycol contains corrosion inhibitors and pipe lubricants to enhance heat exchange.
Can you use a glycol chiller to cool wort?
Propylene glycol’s freezing point is at -74.2°F or -59°C. Glycol/water mixtures have a more moderate freezing point. Thus, it is often preferred by breweries. It cools wort much faster without producing ice inside the brewing vessels that could cause damage.
How do you size a glycol chiller?
Chillers are typically sized based on tonnage, so we have our total heat load in BTU/HR. To convert that to tons you simply divide the Total BTU/HR by 12,000 BTU, this will give you a result of refrigeration tons. From there you can select your chiller based on tonnage.
What is glycol HVAC?
Glycol is a water-miscible coolant that is frequently used in heat transfer and cooling applications. It provides better heat transfer parameters than water, and can be mixed with water to provide a variety of heat transfer characteristics. Glycol comes in two varieties: ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
Is glycol a refrigerant?
Glycol is sometimes called antifreeze or a coolant. Though it acts similarly to a refrigerant, and someone may refer to glycol as a refrigerant, this statement is incorrect. Glycol cools solely through heat transfer in an exchanger; whereas, refrigerant uses an evaporation-condensation cycle to remove heat.
How cold can a glycol chiller get?
To cite an example, 10% ethylene glycol will freeze at 25.9°F while a 60% glycol solution will freeze at -63°F.
What temperature should I set my glycol chiller?
Different applications call for different temperatures, but generally, most breweries set their glycol chiller temperatures at 28-30° F, while wineries typically set theirs at 30-35°F.
How does a glycol cooling system work?
A glycol chiller is a type of refrigeration system that is used to cool a batch of antifreeze also known as “propylene glycol” or just “glycol” for short. The liquid is cooled and then pumped through a looped circuit of tubes that are connected to the input and output parts of the glycol cooling system.
This system uses a small heat exchanger to collect heat from a type of refrigerant. Glycol is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol. This type of refrigerant is similar to antifreeze found in an automobile. The heat exchanger uses pipes to move the fluid from one place to another.
What is glycol cooling system?
Glycol Cooling System. Glycol Cooling Systems (GCW) are Process Cooling systems which utilize Propylene or Ethylene Glycol as the cooling medium for environments where freeze-protection is a primary concern.
How does glycol chiller work?
Glycol chillers in operation. A chiller is essentially a refrigerator that includes a compressor, evaporator, condenser and a metering device. An additional buffer tank is used with the chilling unit to provide additional system capacity to prevent excessive cycling, unexpected temperature fluctuations, and erratic system operation.
