Hello everybody. I'm in the process of building me a 4 tap kegerator out of a 7.1 cu ft Haier chest freezer. The enclosed cabinetry around the keezer is tighter than I would have liked due to limited space. I'm hoping to compensate for this by installing some air flow fans around the sides of the freezer. I also want to install a computer fan in the compressor vent in the back. My question is, should I vent the air out of the compressor compartment or blow air into the compartment. Or does it matter? Thanks

:mug:
 
It probably won't matter much as you'll need to provide in and out air flow anyway.
But, you could aim the fan right at the compressor, which may improve efficiency over just drawing hot air out of the compartment...

Cheers!
