I have a chest freezer with a tower so i could put the fan about halfway down and pointed up the tower.

I doubt either of those solutions would prove viable, you really need to pump the cold air to the top of the tower and let it push the warmed air back down.

If you take a look at a typical store-bought solution...

...you note a common theme.

I made my own using a 40mm 12vdc fan, a tiny plastic project box, 1" ID/1-1/4" OD vinyl tubing (same stuff I use for blow-offs) and a sweet 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 shop vac attachment I stumbled upon at Lowes.



Stuffed up the tower column with the beer lines strapped to it.



Works great - keeps the Tower air temperature within about 10°F of the keezer air temperature...



Cheers!

thanks, tower cooler with tubing it is.

Be sure to allow for a return-air path from the tower - don't do anything crazy like spray-foaming the tower column

Cheers!

What are those little lines plugged in to the tops of your freezer day_tripper

The six line to the left of the tower are for flow meters, the six to the right are for temperature sensors...

Cheers!
