Kegerators Explained – The Haier HBF05EAVS
What is a kegerator?
Kegerators are known by other names as well, such as keg refrigerators or keg coolers. At its essence, it really has two main purposes: primarily, it works to maintain the beer at a tasty cooler temperature. But it also needs to be able to transport draft beer from the keg to a glass. One such example is the Haier hbf05eavs.
(So as you can probably guess from the above, the term ‘kegerator’ was actually borne from two separate words: the words ‘keg’ and ‘refrigerator’).
An excellent reason for using a kegerator, both at home or on a commercial level, is that they maintain the quality of a beer for such a long time. After a keg has been connected to a keg refrigerator, the beer will usually still taste great as much as 2 months later.
So how would you recognize a kegerator if you saw one?
For the most part, it doesn’t look all that different from a regular refrigerator, however most ready-made kegerators include a tank of carbon dioxide (to dispense the beer), a beer and air line, and a dispenser on top of the device through which to pour the beer.
You’ll find that units like the Haier hbf05eavs take functionality a stage further by including a fully adjustable thermostat and auto-defrost option too. As a result, it’s quick and easy to get the beer to the desired serving temperature.
Since beer is a drink that is enjoyed throughout the world, there is one part of a kegerator that very often changes from one country to another – and it’s widely referred to as a “coupler”. For instance, the couple system will be different depending on whether a beer keg is from Europe, America, Germany or the United Kingdom.
But don’t let that put you off. If you purchase a kegerator in the USA (or from the country you live in), the coupler will usually be correct for that location too. (Just so you know, US-based merchants and commerce stores selling a Haier keg cooler tend to provide a US Sankey ‘System D’ coupler, which is standard for American draft beer).
At the end of the day, you can get hold of kegerators for both commercial and home use, and they are an excellent, efficient and extremely practical way to maintain and serve high quality draft beer.
