This unique system will either heat or cool wine or glycol using one refrigeration system.  Utilizing heat pump technology ,we take heat from the air and put it into the glycol or wine.  By reversing the cycle, we can take heat from the glycol or wine and put it into the air, chilling the product.  We believe we are the only manufacturer that utilizes this energy efficient technology for this purpose. 

Utilizing two seperate heat exchangers, one for wine (stainless-steel) and the other for glycol (copper) we can isolate the wine from the glycol, using the same refrigerating system.  By simply flipping a toggle switch, you can choose to heat or cool that heat exchanger.  The glycol heat exchanger is thermostatically controlled.  The wine heat exchanger is controled by the flow rate of the wine or juice flowing through it. By selecting wine mode, two thermostats are energized, both of which sense the inlet temprature of the wine or juice. One dedicated to cooling, the other for heating.

In the "Glycol" mode, two seperate thermostats are also energized, sensing reservoir temperature.  One is dedicated for heating, and the other for chilling.  When changing from heating to chilling, (or vice-versa), simply flip a toggle switch.

We have revolutionized the way in which we heat glycol.  In the past, our heat pump technology worked perfectly for ambient temperatures above 38 degrees Fahrenheit, but any temperature below that would ice up the condenser coil and greatly reduce the effectiveness of our unit.  We have solved this problem by incorporating back-up heating elements, (much like back-up heat in your home heat pump).  When the ambient air gets below the point where the unit is efficient, it automatically switches to the back-up heat, so that your glycol can be heated efficiently and effectively no matter what the ambient air temperature is.
