500L Ice Water Tank / Glycol Tank for Brewery Fermentation and Cooling System

The 500L ice water tank is made of 304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in brewery environments. All units undergo strict factory testing to ensure each batch meets national-level safety and performance standards, making it ideal for both beer brewing and fermentation cooling systems.

A Complete Glycol Water System Includes:

1. Glycol water tank – central to cooling loops for fermenters

2. Cold water tank – recommended for brewhouses over 1000L per batch

3. Industrial glycol chiller – ensures stable and low temperatures

4. Glycol water pump – circulates chilled liquid to jacketed tanks

5. Cold water pump – optional with cold water tank setup

6. Glycol water pipeline – stainless steel with sanitary connections

Chilled Water Tank Specifications:

• Capacity: Available from 100L to 30,000L

• Material: SUS304 stainless steel

• Insulation: Polyurethane, 80–100mm thick

• Inner wall thickness: 3mm

• Outer shell thickness: 2mm

• Finish: Oil-polished outer shell with polished welds for hygiene

When Is a Glycol System Required?

1. Wort Cooling After Boil

In the brewhouse, the wort must be cooled quickly via a plate heat exchanger, typically using chilled glycol water from a cold liquor tank. The glycol tank ensures this process is efficient and repeatable, preventing thermal shock.

2. Fermentation Temperature Control

As yeast consumes sugar, heat builds up inside the fermenter. Without cooling, fermentation temperatures may rise above optimal ranges, affecting beer flavor and yeast health. A glycol water tank system helps maintain the ideal fermentation temperature for lagers, ales, kombucha, cider, or distilled spirits.

Glycol to Water Ratio for Brewery Use

To optimize system performance and avoid excessive glycol costs, the recommended glycol-to-water ratio is 1:3, ensuring freezing point protection down to -20°C without overconsumption.
Too much glycol wastes resources; too little risks line freezing and temperature loss.

Use with Fermentation and Brewhouse Equipment

The 500L glycol tank is designed to integrate with jacketed fermenters, brew kettles, heat exchangers, and CIP tanks, making it essential for breweries of all sizes—from craft microbreweries to commercial-scale operations. It's also applicable in distillation setups for temperature-sensitive processes like cooling condensers and mash tanks.
