Reliable Pipework Solutions for Secondary Refrigeration Systems

Secondary refrigeration systems provide an efficient and environmentally responsible way to deliver cooling across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. By circulating chilled secondary fluids such as glycol or brine, these systems reduce refrigerant charge, improve safety and increase overall energy efficiency.

B&D Plastics supplies high-performance thermoplastic and stainless steel pipework systems designed for secondary refrigeration applications. Working with leading manufacturers, we provide corrosion-resistant solutions that deliver reliable performance in demanding cooling environments, supported by expert technical advice and fast nationwide delivery.

Typical Secondary Refrigeration Applications

Our products are used throughout secondary refrigeration systems, including:

  • Food processing facilities
  • Cold stores and distribution centres
  • Supermarkets and retail refrigeration
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Industrial process cooling
  • Ice rinks
  • Brewery and beverage production
  • Chiller plant installations
  • Glycol circulation systems
  • Brine distribution networks
  • Refrigeration plant rooms

Whether you’re installing a new secondary refrigeration system or upgrading an existing facility, we can help specify the right pipework solution.
