When temps get this high during the day some overhead beer line runs are getting too warm to maintain quality pour.
The solution starts with the beer cooler. Make sure you are at proper temps in the cooler. Remember variations in cooler temp are one thing, but the keg is a large heat sponge and will quickly absorb any heat. Kegs are not so quick to give up that heat gain though.
Experience give me this rule of thumb
for every one minute above 42 degrees requires 5 minutes below 42 degrees to get back normal temp on the keg.
If you have your kegs on the floor in an outside cooler exposed to the sun keep them of the wall and on a stand.
Cooler is Good:
Power packs are designed around the obvious premise that your cooler is working.
They are not designed to cool the beer only to maintain proper temp on a proper system.
If your power pack on a long draw system is not reaching at least 29 degrees and cycling off it either needs work or needs replacing.
Today's units are built with new ambient standards and are energy efficient as well.
An old unit may work , but how much energy are you using to provide barely cold beer.
Beat the HEAT SAVE MONEY replace it
