Proper glycol chiller placement is essential for efficient draft beer system performance. For a 250-foot run, the unit should be installed in a location with ample airflow—such as inside or near a walk-in cooler, on a roof, or in a space with vertical or open-air discharge. While proximity to the cooler and taps is less critical, ventilation, access, and maintenance are the top priorities.
Key Considerations for Glycol Chiller Placement
- Ventilation: Air-cooled compressors release heat, requiring open space around the unit to prevent overheating.
- Access: Ensure easy access for routine maintenance, pump inspection, and checking glycol levels.
- Space Efficiency: Compact models can fit into small utility areas, provided airflow is adequate.
- Distance: Placement matters less than ensuring the chiller is sized correctly for the total length of trunklines and beer runs.
Best Locations for Installation
- Near the Walk-In Cooler: Simplifies installation by keeping pumps and reservoirs close to the cold product source.
- On the Roof: Ideal for breweries and bars with rooftop access, providing excellent airflow and heat dissipation.
- Dedicated Utility Space: A separate room or area behind the bar can work if airflow and ventilation are sufficient.
How a Glycol Chiller Works
- Glycol Circulation: The chiller cools a water-glycol mixture that circulates through trunklines, wrapping around beer lines to keep them cold.
- Temperature Stability: Maintains consistent beer temperature from keg to tap, preventing foam, waste, and off-flavors.
