Brewery Glycol Chiller - BrewChill Pro 5500 - 5500 BTUs
The BrewChill Pro 5500-2 provides 5,500 BTU/h of cooling capacity for fermentation and tank temperature control. It combines a 3/4 HP compressor, an 18-gallon glycol reservoir and two pre-installed 80 GPH vane pumps, each powered by a 1/3 HP motor.
The two-pump package includes two external digital thermostats and four solenoid valves for managing cooling demand in two tank circuits. Both circuits draw from the same reservoir and share the unit’s total cooling capacity. Size the chiller for all tanks requiring cooling at the same time.
Key Features:
- 5,500 BTU/h total cooling capacity: Select the unit according to your combined fermentation, cold crash and holding loads.
- Two pumps included: Each pre-installed vane pump is rated at 80 GPH and has its own 1/3 HP motor. This model does not support additional pumps.
- 18-gallon glycol reservoir: Holds the glycol-and-water mixture circulated through the connected cooling circuits.
- 3/4 HP compressor with R290 refrigerant: Cools the shared glycol supply.
- Glycol line distances up to 450 ft: Suitability depends on tubing size, insulation, elevation, circuit resistance and cooling demand.
- 115 V, 60 Hz power: Supplied with a NEMA 5-20P plug and a 6-ft power cord. Confirm electrical compatibility before ordering.
Parts Included:
- 1 × Glycol Chiller with two pre-installed 80 GPH vane pumps, each powered by a 1/3 HP motor
- 2 x External Digital Thermostats
- 4 × Solenoid Valves

Note: Installation of this item must be handled by a qualified installer in order to qualify for product return and/or warranty coverage. Qualified Installer - Defined as a licensed professional who charges a fee for his services and possesses a business license, contractor's license, and/or resale permit. Common examples of a "qualified installer" include Electrician; General Contractor; Heating and Air Conditioning Specialist.
Tank volume alone does not determine the required cooling capacity. Fermentation temperature control, cold crashing and holding a tank cold place different demands on the chiller.
Use our brewery chiller sizing calculator to estimate your cooling load. Include the number and volume of tanks, ambient temperature, target temperature and required cooling time.
