Advantage Outdoor Glycol Chillers

Overview

Advantage outdoor glycol chillers combine a weatherproof enclosure with a glycol-rated evaporator and pump, so the unit can sit on a pad outside year-round without draining down for winter. This is the standard configuration for breweries and distilleries running an outdoor glycol loop, and for any plant that would rather not find mechanical-room space at all.

As with the indoor units, single-zone and dual-zone configurations are both available across the 1.5 to 210 HP range - dual zone where the process needs two independent glycol temperatures from one outdoor package.

See the BG series for the full part-number line-up of every Advantage outdoor glycol model on this page, from the smaller weatherproof NEMA 4 cabinets up through OACS-platform units adapted for glycol duty.

• 1.5 to 210 HP, single or dual zone
• Weatherproof enclosure, no mechanical room required
• Standard configuration for brewery and distillery glycol loops

Why Breweries Default to Outdoor Glycol

A brewery or distillery glycol loop is a natural fit for an outdoor Advantage package: the equipment is already weatherproof by requirement (it runs year-round regardless of building HVAC), and putting the chiller outside frees mechanical-room or production-floor space for tanks, kegging lines or barrel storage instead. The glycol fill itself provides the freeze protection the fluid needs at typical 25-28°F brewery setpoints; the cabinet's weatherproof rating protects the electronics and controls, not the process fluid.

As with indoor units, propylene glycol is the standard choice anywhere the loop touches fermentation jackets, glycol-jacketed tanks, or other product-adjacent surfaces. Confirm your target temperature and glycol type at quote time so pump and reservoir sizing match the actual mix.
