Sir Gregory, Danfoss BD50 compressor is not protected by a thermo or high
pressure switch as are other sealed compressors. Compressor protective control
is handled by electronic control module If module itself were to over heat Yes
compressor will stop. There are conditions in these water cooled systems where
BD compressors without adequate cooling will run very hot.



On my Adler Barbour, the controller is about an inch from and downwind
of the compressor. Hot air blows around the compressor right onto the
controller and since it is so close it can accurately be set to turn off the
compressor before gets hot enough to damage itself. There is even an
LED code to notify a user of what fault condition exists (five led's).

It would appear from reading the .pdf file for the Frigoboat that they
use a very similar, if not identical, controller set-up.

Given that Frigoboat uses the same or similar set up. I still say Skippy
needs to put in a warranty claim because what's the use of overheat
protection in the controller if it fails to shut it off when overheated?
