In newer beer chilling systems a cold liquid is passed along tubes to a chiller plate (cast aluminium) acting as a heat exchanger, and then through the tap system (font) to keep the beer cold. The beer passes through tubes inside this chiller plate and becomes cold.

The liquid is made cold in a tank with refrigeration coils imersed in it, operated by a refrigeration unit.

The beer lines are wrapped together with the chilled liquid tubes in an insulation, called a python. The chilled liquid also causes condensation to form on the outside of the beer font.

GLYCOL is used as anti-freeze in a car radiator, as it lowers the freezing point of water.

By using GLYCOL as the chilled liquid the temperature can be lowered below zero degrees celcius making for a colder beer, and causing the condensation to form as ICE on the font.

The beer is not normally served below one degree celcius. No beer will freeze at temps above minus one degree celcius, and freezing point is determined by alcohol content. Importantly, the Glycol never actually comes in contact with the beer.

How do you use a glycol chiller in my brewery?

Glycol chiller used when beer brewing. This tasked with cooling the propylene glycol. its a food grade anti freeze which require to cool food products.But there are some restriction to use propylene and must to follow the USP grade.Its need chiller system which evolve with compressor, evaporator,condenser and pump. You can read a article from kinnek.com where lot of information available about glycol chiller.


What is ethylene used for?

Ethylene glycol is a chemical mixture that produces a cooling effect when presented in a high-temperature atmosphere. As a result of its cooling properties, ethylene glycol is used in many mechanical processes, and can be known by another name: "antifreeze".


Why ethylene glycol is used in car radiators?

Because it has a good cooling co-effiency.


What is the constituent element of propylene glycol?

Ethylene glycol (IUPAC name: ethane-1,2-diol; Chemical formula C2H6O2) is an organic compound widely used as an automotive antifreeze and a precursor to polymers. In its pure form, it is an odorless, colorless, syrupy, sweet-tasting liquid. Ethylene glycol is toxic, and ingestion can result in death.


Is polyethylene glycol used in auto antifreeze?

yes low molecular weight polyethylene glycol is used for automotive anti-freeze. most commonly used ones are ethylene glycol or propylene glycol


Can i use Ethylene-glycol type coolant for Toyota Camry 1997?

Almost all coolant is ethylene-glycol. Even the new HOAT long-life coolants are ethylene-glycol. There are a few that have a different formulation. I'm guessing that the old "green stuff" will work fine. Some of the older cars used solder in various places in the cooling system/heater that was susceptible to attack by the HOAT coolants.
