Glycol Chillers & Long Draw Cooling Systems

Commercial Glycol Chillers & Long Draw Cooling Systems

Glycol is the only reliable way to keep beer cold from a walk-in cooler to a draft tower over distances greater than 25 feet. A glycol power pack circulates chilled propylene glycol through the trunk line alongside your beer lines, maintaining serving temperature — typically 34–38°F — all the way to the faucet.

What We Carry

• Glycol power packs — self-contained chillers with pump, reservoir, and refrigeration unit; sized by BTU output and number of trunk lines
• Replacement parts — pumps, hoses, fittings, sensors, and thermostats for major brands
• Glycol system accessories — manifolds, flow meters, and installation hardware

Sizing Your System

• Run length: systems are rated for runs from 15 ft up to 500+ ft
• Tap count: more taps = more BTU demand; oversizing is better than undersizing
• Ambient temperature: warm spaces (kitchens, outdoor bars) require more cooling capacity
• Number of trunk lines: multi-zone bars may need multiple circuits or a larger power pack

Glycol Concentration

Most commercial systems run a 35–40% propylene glycol / water mix, which provides freeze protection to approximately -10°F and keeps beer lines at serving temp without freezing. Use food-grade propylene glycol only — never ethylene glycol.
