Kegerator Conversion Kits are the simplest and most economical way to convert a new or spare food refrigerator into an impressive home draught beer system or kegerator. You can even convert a freezer into a kegerator by adding a temperature control unit. There are many variations of Kegerator Conversion Kits: Door-Mount Conversion Kits and Tower Conversion Kits.
Door Mount Kegerator Conversion Kits provide straight-forward beer dispensing: Beer Shank and faucet is mounted over or through faucet drip tray directly into the door of a refrigerated cabinet or the wall of a cold room. For wall mounted installations, keep wall thickness to a minimum so that the shank does not warm up in the un-insulated space. Mounting the shank and beer faucet on the door of a refrigerator typically ensures adequate cooling for beer in the beer line.
Tower Kegerator Conversion Kits often are used on freezer chest applications where the use of an external temperature control unit keeps the freezer temperature above freezing at 38°. Bar top Tower Conversion Kits applications are also very popular. In this type of application, it is important to remember that the distance from the keg to the beer tower has implications on both cooling and beer line resistance.
