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.





Tell us more about the application.


Not sure yet whether I'm going to get a custom welded stainless steel

box & insulate it in place, or mold a fiberglass box myself and put
in a
cold plate. Either way I'm thinking of putting in those expensive
vacuum
insulation panels.

Right now I'm leaning towards cabin ambient air cooled, with exhaust
to
the outside. This is how our fridge is set up.


Id go with the stainless steel. Make it a double walled 6" thick min.
and inject expandable foam in it. Will last forever.

Front or top access?
