Its a 1/4 ton R-404A system, it will maintain a water temp of 33 to 35 degrees, it uses a Little Giant water pump and the water distribution tubes are 1/2" pvc with small saw cuts for spray. With the lid closed it runs quiet enough that it is running in my laundry room right now and i cant hear anything....and my beer stays nice and chilled lol

Now , that's COOL. You need to make it work inside a barrel so you could stick a keg inside then you could just walk up and hit the tap, cold beer forever..:cool:

Nice job on piping.
