Keg Cooler Information

You declare, "I want the coldest beer in town!"... The best time to make this statement is prior to ordering your walk in cooler! Normal system sizing provides product temperatures of 38 degrees. In a standard walk in cooler system, trying to achieve lower temperatures will lead to extended run times, frozen evaporator coils, and eventual premature equipment failure.

To properly handle these lower temperature requirements, you should consider a keg cooler refrigeration system. When a system operates below 35 degrees, frost and ice will begin to build up on an evaporator coil. Frost restricts the airflow across the coil if it builds up. Your walk in cooler and product temperature will rise as ice formation increases.

A keg cooler system features freezer style evaporator coils instead. These coils feature wider fin spacing and heated defrost elements to counteract frost formation, so your keg cooler and product temperatures will be stable. You will be able to hold any temperature you specify up front with a properly sized system—so let us know!

If your keg cooler will include glass display doors, you may want to consider the heated glass option. Even if your store is air-conditioned, your glass display doors will be more susceptible to sweating without this option. Unfortunately, glass heat is not an option that can be added on at a later time—it must be included at the time of order.

A keg cooler is one of many different variations of beverage coolers SRC manufactures. We sell keg coolers to a number of businesses: restaurants, food service stores, convenience stores, liquor stores, and more!
