Glycol Systems

Understanding the Challenges Your Glycol System May Face

Here are some of the most common glycol system issues business owners face with their long draw draft systems. If you encounter any of these problems, do not hesitate to get in touch with our team for immediate assistance. Some of these concerns can be addressed on your own, while others need professional repairs.

Clogged Condenser – It is best to have your condenser checked and cleaned every three to five weeks. Once in a while its fins can accumulate dirt and other debris that can affect your glycol system’s performance.

Exposed Glycol Bath – If the cover of your glycol bath is left open, it will get exposed to the air. This will cause the water vapor to dilute and weaken your glycol. Should your glycol become too weak, it will not have the right cooling power to keep the beverage at the right temperature.

Other Glycol Issues – Other common issues for glycol baths that you will need to be aware of include incorrect temperatures and wrong glycol mix. We at Better Beer Revolution recommend that the glycol bath’s temperature should be checked weekly, while the viscosity should be revisited quarterly. You can also test annually the freezing point with a hydrometer or refractometer to ensure optimal performance.

Broken Glycol Chiller Motor – If the motor is making unusual sounds of distress or if it gets hotter than usual, it is best to have one of our draft beer technicians conduct an inspection.

Damaged Glycol Pumps – All glycol system connections need to be tight in order to ensure proper insulation. If you hear any clanking, grinding, or other unusual noises, your glycol pumps are not running smoothly and need to be checked as soon as possible. The root problem could be loose wire connections, failed motor, or a defective overload.

Glycol System Trunk Line Repairs – It is important to have your trunk lines inspected regularly in order to spot ice buildup from insulation damage or glycol leakage. We at Better Beer Revolution offer reliable glycol system trunk line repairs so you can have your system back to work in no time.
