Air cooled tower - separate the return?

Another post goes into my woes - I'll spare it here. Is there any reason that I can't do separate feed and return lines to the air cooled tower - remote location.

So i'd run a 1 1/2" line out with the beer line inside, heavily insulated once it leaves the unit.

It would enter the 3" pipe for the tower. From the 3" tower I would also run a separate 1" line back into the fridge to carry the return.

Sound like it would work?

This would,will work if you keep your temp and pressure right. Why not run a 3 inch line from the tower to refrig with the 1 1/2 air and beer line in side the just insulate the 3 inch line. This is what we try and do for single lines in bars.

That's my dilemna in the other post.

I'm mounting it under a bar cabinet, so I have zero clerance on the top of the unit.

Danby says freon lines are in the sides so all that leaves me is the back.

There is a little shelf on the back left that appears to be free underneath, also some space in the back near the CO2 lines - but's that's about it. So that's why I was thinking a 2 inch return coming in, an 1 1/4 line going out. Once I'm outside the unit I can join them up inside a 3" PVC
