You obviously have nothing intelligent to say on the subject of cruising,
sailing, or (distantly related topic) marine refrigeration.

No, they have this marvelous new technology called electricity!
I am putting in a 12V freezer, that way it can run when it needs to
regardless of what our power config (shore power, underway, anchored,
genset running, etc).
Even a 12 V electric compressor can be noisy. With just a few feet of
plumbing you can have a more proffessional set up and better access to
your compressor in the engine room.
A refrigerator is a heat pump.
It is rather stupid to put the compressor in a hot engine room because
it decreases the efficiency of the heat pump when the hot side of the pump
is in a hot environment.
That just depends. Putting the compressor in the engine room is fine since
the purpose of the compressor is to heat up the refrigerant. It's the
condenser that is the issue. A water cooled condenser doesn;t much
care where it is. An air-cooled unit does need cool air to be efficient.
It's far better to put the compressor in as cool and well-ventilated space
as
can be found on the boat within the limits of the copper tubing to the
evaporator,
of course.
Your knowledge of refrigeration seems to be limited to the Adler-Barbour
ads.
I hope this helps.
