Just place the keg in a ice bath to cool [img:435jr1yn]http://www.micromatic.com/images/3/300x300/7509E.jpg[/img:435jr1yn]

Yeah, you've got to run through the whole keg in 3 days, tops, in my experience - which isn't usually a problem in the kind of places you see those pumps.

Also wouldn't solve the OP's need for natural fermentation, unless it was used with key kegs (which Vanguard does.)
