Why You Need Beer Cellar Cooling

There is nothing better than a cold beer and when you have beer cellar cooling, you will always have a cool beverage to serve. 

Cellar cooling is essential for preserving the quality of your goods, especially certain liquid goods for the operations of bars and pubs who deal with a large volume of drinks each day. They work by forcing chilled air into the cellar at the correct temperature for storing cold drinks and food. Ensuring humidity levels are consistent prevents any mould growth and removes unpleasant smells whilst guaranteeing that your beer’s flavour, temperature and consistency is ready for your customer.

Although the initial investment of a beer cellar cooling system can be significant, it can save you money in the long run by preventing beer spoilage, reducing energy costs and extending the lifespan of your equipment.

Cellar cooling systems are usually split into two parts. This includes the evaporator and the condensing unit. The evaporator unit contains a coil of pipework that works similar to a radiator but in reverse. So chilled liquid refrigerant passes through the coil to keep the temperature cool. The fan inside then continuously pulls in cellar air to recirculate it.

The condensing unit uses the heat that is taken from the cellar air by the liquid refrigerant, the liquid expands and becomes a gas that is pumped into the condensing unit. Then the refrigerated gas is compressed into a liquid state, releasing the heat. Then the cold liquid refrigerant is moved through to the evaporator coil ready for another cycle. 

 Drinks such as cask beer need to be kept at a temperature lower than 13°C or it will go off. If beer is stored at room temperature it will have a very short shelf life. This will not only disappoint customers, but will also affect the profitability of your business; however, beer cellar cooling is the solution!

Cellar Cooling allows you to- 

• Set the desired temperature and humidity 
• Have a quiet cooling system
• Ensure your customers are getting the maximum standard of products

If you do have cellar cooling, it is important that you regularly maintain it. We recommend that your cooling system should be serviced once a year, or twice if it is a below ground cellar so that you can ensure your system is working to the highest standard. This needs to be carried out by a professional as it is illegal and dangerous to service your refrigeration yourself.
