GEN 3 Beverage Line Chillers: The Power You Expect

Gen 3 chillers deliver more power, greater stability, and proven reliability—engineered specifically

for modern draft applications. Unlike systems rated on theoretical BTUs, Gen 3 units are designed

and tested to deliver verified system performance, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

With dramatically increased cooling capacity and a larger glycol bath, Gen 3 provides exceptional thermal stability—even during peak demand. Modern refrigerant technology maintains precise serving temperatures to protect beverage integrity and reduce foam waste, supporting high-yield performance that means more beer in the glass and less down the drain. The result is consistent pours, better tasting draft, and greater profitability from day one through the life of the system.

WHY GEN 3 Performs Better

More Cooling

Compared to Gen 2 models, Gen 3 provides:

• 1/3 HP models deliver 58% more cooling

• 1/2 HP models deliver 63% more cooling

• 3/4 HP models deliver 25% more cooling

Greater Thermal Stability

Gen 3 chillers improve system stability through:

• 4-gallon glycol bath

• 1/2” glycol connections

• 100 GPH circulation pumps

Upgraded Refrigerant

Gen 3 line chillers utilize R448A refrigerant, replacing the legacy R134A that was used in Gen 2 chillers, and many competitive models, supporting a more modern, peformance driven-system design.

Heat Rejection and Peak Demand

Gen 3 line chillers are HVAC sizing–verified to properly manage heat rejection, ensuring reliable, high-level performance even during peak demand conditions.
