Building your own Kegerator Tower Cooler

Here is a list of the parts you will need, to build a Tower Cooler these can be found at your localcomputer or electronic hobby store.

Parts Needed:

- 9V DC power supply (I used an old cell phone charger and cut the end off)- 4 x 6 plastic hobby box- 12 VDC 3´ (80 mm) PC fan its 3´ to fit inside the box- 2 fan guards- 45 degree 1´ PVC elbow found at your local home improvement store- Length of 1´ diameter flexible hose or clear tubing- Electrical Tape- Electrical wire- Velcro- Beer

Tools Needed:

- Small electric rotary tool- Screw drivers- Utility Knife- Beer opener

Assembly Instructions:

Place the fan on the front of the box, then use a marker to mark the mounting holes & the center cut-out.Place the 45 degree PVC fitting on the top if the box, then use a marker to mark the outline and cut-out.Open the box & use hand tools to cut openings I used my little electric rotary typetool and was perfectMount the fan on the inside & route the fan¶s power plug to the outside of the box.In the cut out hole on the top of the project box mount the 45 degree PVC fitting itto the top of the box and glue in placeYou can use silicone or white bathtub calk to hold the fitting in place I then coveredthat with black electrical tape to match the black project box.Install the flexible hose does not need any glue as it should fit tight inside the PVCfitting.Splice the power supply wiring to the fan wiring and test to make sure the fan is pulling air in. If the fan is pushing air out, try reversing the wiring and test again or turn the fan around.Unplug or un-splice the fan connection and run the power in through the drain linein the Kegerator.Then re-connect the wires in the same direction they were before. If your not sure, justwire and test again. Trial fit the fan inside the back of the Kegerator, route theflexible hose up to the tower measure and cut. I found that having the fan pull coldair off the back of the chiller plate worked the bestPlug in the DC adapter and let the fans do their work I used Velcro the attach project box to the Kegerator shelf Have a cold beer.
