What CO2 pressure is used for a coil cooler and cold plate cooler?

For Cold Plate and Coil Coolers, 30-35 lbs. of applied pressure is recommended for dispensing beer that has an internal keg temperature of 50-55°F. A keg that is kept cold requires less applied pressure for dispensing. A keg that is being dispensed at room temperature or greater has a recommended applied pressure of 35-40 lbs of applied pressure.

Note: Cold Plate Coolers are not recommended for dispensing beer that has an internal temperature greater than 55°F.
