"THE COLDEST BEER IN TOWN"

There are two types of defrost systems for evaporator coils, the most common is air defrost, and as the name implies, the ice that forms on the

evaporator coils during operation is melted off the coils by air from the evaporator coil fans blowing air over the coils and gradually defrosting them. This system is used on most walkin refrigeration systems for walk in coolers, beverage coolers and other medium temperature, (35 to 38F), applications.

Because evaporator coil defrost in this sytem is dependent on the air temperature inside of the cooler, for proper defrost to occur, the temerature setting for the cooler should be set no lower than 35F. Setting the thermostat lower than this might not allow the ice that has built up on the evaporator coils to completely melt during defrost cycles, eventually leading to ice build up on the coils.

Since ice is a thermal insulator, this ice build up prevents the system from removing the heat inside of the cooler as it should, eventually leading to a viscious cycle of excessive run times, shorter defrost times and even greater ice build up. 

For walk in beer coolers or walk in keg coolers, where very low temperatures are desirable (28F to 34F), and in freezers, the more expensive electric defrost coils will be needed. As the name implies, during the defrost cycle, either a heating element, or hot gas sytem is employed to rapidly defrost the evaporator coils, and the system can

quickly complete the defrost cycle and resume operation. This system, though more expensive, is a must for a walkin beer coolers to be able to to maintain the temperature at or below freezing, since in an air defrost system, the coils couldn't defrost by air, if the air temperature is below the temperature of freezing.

If you want "the coldest beer in town" you will have to use electric defrost coils in the walk in refrigeration system for your walk in refrigerator, walkin beer cooler or walkin keg cooler.

Another Consideration: For walk-in beverage display coolers with this system you will also need to use heated glass on the display doors to avoid condensation. This is due to the greater temperature differential between the inside and outside of the cooler with this system.
