Glycol Cooling Coil
Elevating global standards with exceptional, unmatched Dutch craftsmanship in advanced industrial heat exchange.
A Glycol Cooling Coil is a specialized heat exchanger designed to regulate temperature in industrial refrigeration systems, fermentation tanks, and closed-loop cooling applications using a glycol solution as the heat transfer medium. These coils are engineered to efficiently absorb and remove heat from processes or storage environments, helping maintain target temperatures even under ambient temperature fluctuations.
Ideal for critical systems in breweries, wineries, and industrial applications, glycol coils offer freeze protection, high thermal efficiency, and compatibility with corrosive environments. Constructed from robust materials like copper tubes, aluminum fins, or stainless steel, they provide a lasting design suited for harsh operating conditions. Glycol cooling coils are an essential component for ensuring stable, controlled environments where thermal consistency is non-negotiable.
Precision in Process — How Glycol Cooling Coils Deliver Temperature Control
At the heart of every temperature-sensitive process lies a system designed for balance, reliability, and performance. For ICARUS, the Glycol Cooling Coil is more than just a component—it’s a mission-critical solution, purpose-built for applications where even a slight temperature drift can impact the entire operation.
The Role of Glycol in Heat Transfer Systems
In industries where temperature control is paramount—such as brewing, winemaking, industrial refrigeration, and closed-loop systems—glycol serves as a reliable and efficient heat transfer medium. Unlike pure water, a glycol solution (typically mixed with water in precise concentrations) provides freeze protection and stable performance under cold temperatures and ambient temperature fluctuations.
ICARUS’s glycol cooling coils are engineered to support this process. Whether installed in a bright tank, reservoir tank, or within a central chiller unit, the coil circulates chilled glycol through tightly wound copper tubes or aluminum fin structures, drawing out heat from the environment or process fluid. The result is precise, repeatable temperature control, essential for everything from fermentation temperatures in beer and wine to cooling in critical systems and brine applications.
Built to Handle Harsh Environments
These coils are often exposed to corrosive environments, high humidity, and fluctuating conditions. That’s why ICARUS offers a range of materials and finishes—including stainless steel frames, pre-coated aluminum fins, and anti-corrosion coating systems—to ensure maximum heat transfer efficiency and coil longevity.
With options like removable headers, drainable header designs, and custom coil configurations, our glycol coils fit seamlessly into both new and existing systems. We work with non-standard sizes, bulkhead fittings, and a wide variety of connection types to meet your exact application requirements.
Designed for Diverse Industrial Applications
From lumber drying applications to cold crash beer processes, ICARUS coils are deployed across industries where thermal regulation isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether supporting a fluid coil system, a glycol chiller, or a tower water application, our coils offer unmatched flexibility and heat rejection capabilities across a wide capacity range.

FAQs about Glycol Cooling Coil
What is a Glycol Cooling Coil used for?
A Glycol Cooling Coil is used to regulate temperatures in closed-loop systems, such as fermentation tanks, bright tanks, industrial refrigeration systems, and glycol chillers. By circulating a glycol solution, it provides consistent heat removal and protects systems from freezing in low-temperature environments.
Why use glycol instead of water in cooling coils?
Glycol solutions offer freeze protection, making them ideal for systems exposed to cold temperatures or ambient temperature fluctuations. Unlike water, glycol maintains fluidity at lower temperatures and supports more stable temperature control, especially in applications like brewing, winemaking, and cold storage.
What materials are used in ICARUS Glycol Cooling Coils?
ICARUS offers coils made from copper tubes, aluminum fins, and stainless steel frames. These materials are selected based on the corrosive environments, fluid compatibility, and specific heat transfer properties of the application. We also provide anti-corrosion coating systems and custom header construction for maximum durability.
Can glycol coils be customized for specific applications?
Absolutely. ICARUS specializes in custom coil manufacturing to meet a wide range of application requirements. We offer options like removable headers, bulkhead fittings, offset headers, and unique coil configurations to fit seamlessly into existing or newly designed systems.
In what industries are Glycol Cooling Coils most commonly used?
Glycol coils are widely used in the beverage industry (for beer fermentation and wine cellars), HVAC systems, industrial cooling, lumber drying applications, and any closed-loop cooling or heat rejection system that demands stable, low-temperature operation.
How do I maintain and clean a Glycol Cooling Coil?
Regular maintenance includes checking for freeze protection, monitoring glycol concentration, and inspecting for corrosion or fouling on the coil surface. ICARUS designs its coils with coil access, drainable headers, and materials that simplify cleaning and reduce long-term heat transfer degradation.
