you building a custom space with a cold plate, and putting the
compressor in your engine room?

I found nice compression grommets for your watertight compartments.

Tell us more about the application.

Most Trouble free refrigeration?

I am assembling a refrigeration system and am interested in what other
folks have & have not found troublesome.

Thanks in advance.

Duh! Assembling it for use where? Don't you think that very important piece of
info should be included if you expect to get any reasonable answers?

Why is it so many people these days are too stupid to know how to ask a simple
question?

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?

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.

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.

I hope this helps.

Am I understanding this right? A Peltier chip that can achieve a 130 +
degree delta-T?? What's the catch, only the USAF can afford them???

It's worth a phone call to find out, anyway. Plugging in these numbers
results in a very nice installation... efficient and compact.

Thanks Bob C!

You may be able to get them as free samples. Coleman and others make entire
refrigerators out of these things.

Keep cool,

Bob Crantz

Amen!
