Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Is not an Adler Barbour
refrigeration problem as Larry indicates it is a boat refrigeration
industry problem. It seems that only a very few boaters are concerned
with RFI, the others are willing to set the VHF squelch high enough to
silence it out. A few system manufacturers have received complaints
from ham operators about RF from their refrigerators or other boat's
refrigerator's parked nearby. On the few boats that are experiencing a
problem the full box copper screen over the condensing unit does seem
to satisfy at least three radio operators that answered my resent
survey.

Theoretical considerations aside, my advice would be to insulate your
box to the hilt and then install one of the many DC driven Danfoss
compressor systems with a direct evaporator coil, ie no holding plate.
Alder Barbour and others make them.

AAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!!! ADLER BARBOUR!!

If you install an Adler-Barbour electronic 12V compressor, be SURE you put
it into an RF shielded screen room! We had one on "Claire's Navie" that
had this AWFUL pulsing RF noise ON VHF CHANNEL 16!....

Bzzt....Bzzt.....Bzzt,Bzzt,Bzzt.....Bzzt......Bzzt .......Bzzt, Bzzt,
Bzzt....repeating the exact sequence of SQUELCH OPENINGS on both VHF radios
for your entire watch!

Drove us crazy until I turned the damned thing OFF~! Only bothered Channel
16...of all the channels....JUST 16.
