Chilled Brine and Glycol Refrigeration Systems in Michigan
Ensure precise, consistent temperature control with chilled brine and glycol designed and installed by CW Refrigeration. We provide custom-tailored industrial refrigeration solutions for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and specialty industrial applications.
Chilled brine refrigeration systems
Brine chiller systems offer an ideal solution for applications that require ultra-low temperatures (-20°F and below).
Glycol refrigeration systems
We recommend glycol chiller systems for moderate chilling temperatures (10-32°F) and where environmental and food safety are top priorities.
Chilled Brine Refrigeration Systems
Industrial brine cooling systems utilize a solution of water mixed with salt as a secondary refrigerant to provide reliable, cost-effective cooling in extremely low-temperature environments (-20°F and below). Salt lowers the freezing point of water, allowing brine pumped through piping to absorb heat from storage rooms, tanks, or processing equipment. Used in conjunction with other refrigeration methods, like ammonia systems, chilled brine cooling is the solution of choice for sub-zero applications, including:
- Freezing meat, poultry, fish, and seafood
- Ice cream production and storage
- Sub-zero pharmaceutical and biotech applications
- Ultra-low temp chemical and industrial manufacturing
- Older beverage and brewing facilities
- Legacy infrastructure where a direct-expansion ammonia system is not practical
Glycol Refrigeration Systems
Industrial glycol cooling uses a solution of water mixed with propylene or ethylene glycol as a secondary refrigerant. Like the salt in brine systems, glycol lowers the freezing point of water, preventing ice formation in pipes as it circulates, removing heat from air handlers, heat exchangers, and processing equipment. Glycol systems are less corrosive, safer, and easier to handle than brine, although they are slightly less efficient. Regularly monitoring glycol concentrations ensures optimal performance. We recommend glycol systems when for moderate temperatures (10-32°F), particularly when food safety or environmental concerns are a priority, such as:
- Brewery and winery product fermentation and storage
- Processing juice, soft drinks, and other beverages, including milk, cheese, and yogurt
- Blast chilling and processing meat, poultry, and frozen foods
- Pharmaceutical and biotech cooling and storage
- Chemicals and industrial manufacturing
- Hydroponic and agricultural climate control
