FAQs - Everything you need to know
1. How the Glass Chiller Works:
- Cooling Process: Glass chillers like the ones from Thrill International work by cooling the glass very quickly. When you place a glass inside the chiller, it gets sprayed with a special chilled mist (or the device uses a cold-air mechanism) to rapidly reduce the glass's temperature. Some models use nitrogen or other cooling agents to create this quick chill effect.
- Sanitization: The chilling process also helps sanitize the glass, eliminating germs, bacteria, and odors, which could otherwise impact the taste and experience of a drink.
2. Is a Nitrous Line Required?
- Some of Thrill’s glass chillers use nitrous oxide (N2O) to cool the glasses. However, not all models necessarily require N2O. It depends on the specific model being purchased.
- Models like the Vortex JET typically use nitrogen (which could be N2O or CO2 in some instances), so it might need a nitrous line for functionality.
3. Installation of the Nitrous Line Without It Being Visible:
- Hidden Installations: If a nitrous line is required, the installation can be done discreetly. The key is to run the line under the countertop or inside cabinetry. This way, the line is hidden from view, keeping the aesthetic of the kitchen or home bar intact.
- Custom Installations: Many professional installations involve running the line through the cabinetry or under the counter to an easily accessible location where it can be refilled. The nitrous tank can often be placed in a discreet location, such as a utility room or hidden compartment.
