I upgraded to a Kegerator with a cooled tower but i'm getting a lot of condemnation on the tower. I tried solving this by upgrading the tower foam but this did not help. I'm open to any ideas of suggestions?
Live with it. Check that the discharge end of the tower cooler is not forcing air directly against the metal tower. Add styrofoam insulation to the top of the tower if it isn't already there. That prevents the cold air from going down the side of the metal tower. One more thing, and I don't think you should bother... This is going to require some planning, you need to seal the space between the foam insulation and the tower. A small amount of low expansion Great Stuff might work (permanent and messy if not careful), or maybe some more insulation? Just try to make it so no cold air gets in contact with the metal tower. Your best choice by far, live with it. Too much hassle to "fix", and besides in a few months it wont be as humid in your house and you wont care. Cheers. Edit, from the pic I see the condensation is at the top. So yes, it appears that the blower is forcing cold air right up to the top and that spills over. That's good. If you can figure a way to cap that off it will be much better. If you come up with a good plan, let us know!
I recently added a dehumdifier to my basement for the summer months and the condensation on my tower is nearly non-existent.
It's stored in our kitchen and we typically keep it 74-76 degrees which is why I was a little surprised by the amount of condensation.
I have similar setup. Only thing I did differently was cut a "V" shape (half the V on either side of the rubber insulation) so it would fit to the top of the tower. So far so good...
After deciding to just deal with the issue, I noticed rust forming on the unit. I figured it was worth another attempt and I finally solved this issue by ensuring that the foam was directly touching the inside of the tower. Hopefully this helps someone else with the same issue.
