Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear your danbys working better, but an 85cfm fan? You must have a tornado inside that thing! If you have the DKC645 the inside volume is only 5.8 cu ft.

Having constant air movement is a big plus, but an 85cfm fan may generate some heat. Just something to watch out for.

The fan isn't to make it get down to temperature, it is to even out the temperature. And I'd not try to get my beer that cold.

There are a few reasons to not get the beer that cold.
Too cold causes more co2 to be disolved into the beer.
Freezing your line or worse yet your keg can be a pain and ruin the beer.
And most beer tastes better at the proper serving temperature.

I keep lagers at 38 and ales 45ish. The warmer the beer, the more flavor IMHO.
