The CP4000-2 is a commercial glycol chiller engineered to maintain draft beer line temperatures over distances up to 250 feet, supporting 2-pump operation with a 18-gallon glycol tank and 4,000 BTU/hr cooling capacity. Operating on R290 refrigerant with a 40% glycol / 60% water mixture, it keeps beer lines at serving temperature from keg coupler to faucet - eliminating foam caused by warm lines between pours.
The 1/2 HP compressor runs on 115V/60Hz and requires a minimum 12" clearance around the entire unit for proper airflow. The 3/8" inlet/outlet barbs connect to standard glycol trunk line fittings, and the unit operates reliably in ambient temperatures of 60–90°F. A proven glycol chiller solution for breweries, bars, and multi-tap draft installations requiring reliable temperature control over long runs.


The CP4000-2 glycol chiller is the refrigeration backbone of any long-run draft beer system - the equipment that keeps beverage lines at serving temperature from the keg room to the faucet, regardless of how far apart those two points are. Without a functioning glycol chiller, beer in long lines warms between pours and delivers the first glass of every service as foam - a problem that the CP4000-2 eliminates by continuously circulating chilled glycol through insulated trunk lines.
With a cooling capacity of 4,000 BTU/hr and a maximum run distance of 250 feet, the CP4000-2 is sized for medium-run draft installations - covering single-tap-room setups and standard restaurant bars. The 18-gallon glycol tank provides thermal mass to buffer against peak cooling demand during high-volume service periods.
Two vane pumps are pre-installed, each with a 1/3 HP motor delivering 80 GPH - the correct flow rate for maintaining glycol velocity through the trunk line without over-pressurizing the system. The 1/2 HP compressor operates on 115V/60Hz at 12.0 A (1 pump) / 17.6 A (2 pumps). The 3/8" inlet/outlet barbs are the standard connection size for commercial glycol trunk line systems.
R290 refrigerant is used throughout - a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with minimal global warming potential and excellent thermodynamic efficiency. The unit operates reliably in ambient temperatures of 60–90°F°F, and requires at least 12" of clearance around the entire unit for proper airflow and service access. The glycol mixture specification of 40% glycol to 60% water is important to follow precisely - deviating from this ratio affects both freeze protection and heat transfer efficiency.
A commercial-grade glycol chiller for operators who understand that consistent beverage temperature is not optional - it's what separates a well-run draft system from one that wastes product and frustrates customers.
