How Do Our Glycol Cooler Units Work?
01. Evaporation
The first step of the cooling process takes place in the evaporator. Once the water-glycol mixture has taken heat from the equipment that needs cooling, this heat is then absorbed by the refrigerant liquid which causes it to evaporate.
02. Compression
The compressor then sucks the evaporated refrigerant out of the evaporator and prepares it for cooling by compressing it. This process releases the pressure of the evaporated refrigerant by increasing its temperature and decreasing its volume.
03. Condensation
After being compressed, the refrigerant solution is directed toward the condenser where it releases the heat it previously absorbed. This dissipation can be done through exposure to the surrounding air or via a water cooler.
04. Expansion
The refrigerant passes through a capillary tube or expansion valve which causes a drop in pressure, also dropping the temperature. Then it enters the evaporator, ready to absorb more heat from the water-glycol solution, and the process is repeated.

Glycol Cooler Units: FAQs
What is the difference between a glycol chiller and a water chiller?
Glycol chillers use a glycol-water mixture which lowers the freezing point of the liquid, making them suitable for colder temperatures. Water chillers use only water and are used at temperatures above freezing.
Is a glycol chiller safe?
Yes, our chiller units are safe as long as they are properly maintained. Where human contact is likely, glycol coolers normally use propylene glycol, which is less toxic than ethylene glycol, enhancing safety in potential leakage scenarios.
Where should a glycol cooler be placed?
A chiller with glycol should be placed in a well-ventilated area to ensure efficient heat dissipation and easy access for maintenance. You should avoid areas that are prone to dust, dirt, or corrosive vapours. Many are placed outside, but this is not a necessity.
Can you use a glycol system for distilling?
Yes, glycol coolers are effective in distilling processes. They control temperatures precisely, which is essential for consistent distillation, maintaining product purity, and optimising the condensation of alcohol vapours.
Can you use water in a glycol system?
The only thing that makes a glycol cooler different from other units is the glycol additive, so if you remove this the chiller system becomes a standard unit. However, it will not be able to operate at below-freezing temperatures which is why glycol is required in the first place.
