Penguin Chillers offers a line of fully submersible Glycol Pumps for use with our Glycol Chillers and Tubing. When setting up a Glycol Chiller, standard practice is to use one pump per fermenter or vessel that you wish to cool. In this setup, each pump is plugged into its own glycol pump controller. Each controller independently monitors each fermenter or vessel’s temperature and turns the pump on and off accordingly to regulate temperature.
The controller on the glycol chilling unit regulates the temperature in the glycol reservoir. This ensures there is always cold glycol on hand, as needed, to cool the fermenters. Our pumps work great for brewers that cycle their pumps on and off, or choose to run them longer during a cold crash.
This product includes the selected Glycol Pump. The Standard Pump includes a 3/8″ Barb Adapter. The XL Pump includes 2 Adapter Fittings for use with 3/8″ or 1/2″ tubing.
Compare available Glycol Pump options by power, max flow, barb adapter size, head height, and overall dimensions.
| Model | Voltage / Power | Max Flow | Barb Adapter | Head Height Max | Dimensions (W x D x H) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Pump | 12v DC / 19w | 3.5 GPM max | 3/8″ Barb Adapter | 16′ Head Height Max | 1.65″W / 3.1″D / 2.5″H |
| XL Pump | 24v DC / 60w | 6.3 GPM max | 3/8″ or 1/2″ Barb Adapters | 32′ Head Height Max | 2.35″W / 3.65″D / 4.30″H |
When testing our XL Pump under what we consider to be a “normal” setup, we found that the XL pump provided roughly 2 times the flow rate when using 3/8″ tubing and 4 times the flow rate when using 1/2″ tubing.
Please note: the length of tubing used, any vertical height changes, and the number of fittings used will all reduce the flow of your pump.
Our sizing recommendations are just suggestions. In the end, your pump’s functionality will be determined by your setup and the pump’s load.
