Industrial Brine and Glycol Cooling Systems
Improve safety and ensure precision temperature control with chilled brine and glycol refrigeration systems from CW Refrigeration. Our industrial refrigeration company serves businesses across Washington State, Idaho, and Oregon, providing customized solutions for food and beverage producers and distributors, pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturers.
Why integrate chilled brine or glycol refrigeration?
Using chilled brine and glycol systems in occupied areas reduces the hazards and regulatory requirements associated with ammonia refrigeration.
Which secondary refrigeration system is right for my application?
- We recommend brine chiller systems for ultra-low-temperature applications -20°F and below.
- Glycol chiller systems offer an ideal solution for moderate cooling applications from 10-32°F.
Chilled Brine and Glycol Refrigeration Systems Improve Safety
Many food producers and distributors choose to integrate secondary refrigeration systems to reduce the safety risks associated with direct ammonia industrial refrigeration and streamline operations. Though slightly less efficient, integrating chilled brine and glycol chillers in occupied areas while leaving ammonia refrigeration in a centralized location lowers leakage risks to workers and food products, dramatically reducing OSHA, EPA, and other regulatory requirements.
Benefits of Chilled Brine Refrigeration Systems
Industrial brine refrigeration systems provide reliable, cost-effective ultra-low temperature cooling (-20°F and below). Salt lowers the freezing point of water, allowing brine chillers to absorb heat from storage rooms, tanks, or processing equipment. We recommend integrating industrial brine cooling systems for a variety of sub-zero applications, including:
- Freezing meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and ice cream products
- Sub-zero pharmaceutical and biotech applications
- Ultra-low temp chemical and industrial manufacturing
- Legacy infrastructure, such as older beverage and brewing facilities
Benefits of Glycol Refrigeration Systems
Like industrial brine chillers, chilled glycol systems lower the freezing point of water using a propylene or ethylene glycol and water mixture that prevents ice formation in air handlers, heat exchangers, and processing equipment. Though slightly less efficient, industrial glycol cooling systems offer a safer, less corrosive alternative to brine when storing products at moderate temperatures (10-32°F). Our cold storage engineers recommend industrial glycol refrigeration for:
- Beverage processing, including beer, wine, juices, and soft drinks
- Freezing meat, poultry, and prepared foods
- Processing dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt
- Chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotech manufacturing, cooling, and storage
