Hey everyone! I took the advice of several people in this forum over the years and dropped the big bucks on a real kegerator from Beer Meister! It's so beautiful...brings a year to my eye! *sniff* But that's neither here nor there. The purpose of this post is to figure out exactly what this large black flex tube is for (see photo). It's attached to the top of the inside of the cooler and it's positioned in a way where the fan blows directly into it. What's the deal? I don't see anything about it in the instructions. Thanks everyone! https://ibb.co/27jvfpj
Probably intended to be directed into the tower to help keep it chilled. See the last pic in this link: https://www.kegerator.com/beer-meister-kegerator-commercial-refrigerators/BM1600SSNT-D-C.html
It is a tower cooler, and there should also be a wire clip / hook thing at the open end which is designed to be hooked over the back of the shank in the tower. Pop the top off the tower and see if the hook is hanging there and the tube fell out of it.
It looks like this in most cases....the link is to the Bev Air part, couldn't find the Beer Meister part. https://www.partstown.com/beverage-air/bev401-193a
So indeed that's what it's for! I do not see a clip however. I'm not sure if I would need one anyway however as it seems to stay in there just fine on it's own. I am having a crazy amount of condensation however even though the tower is insulated! Anyone have any ideas why?
Oh wow so that's normal? It's like, a LOT of water, lol! Maybe I should pull out that foam and properly insulated it somehow?
You can’t do that. You need room for the cold air from the tower cooler to get back out to the box. It is a function of the 38 degree air you’re pushing up there and the room temp and humidity in the room.
It is in the garage. In Florida. =\ So are you saying this is not something I'll be able to avoid? I was thinking of replacing the foam with something of the same thickness that just insulates better. Not that I have any idea what that would be.
Can’t be avoided. You can try to minimize it, but you can’t go much thicker than what is there without affecting the return air.
