Small portable refrigeration units
I rented a mobile home with a small refrig. that used propane. It was
very efficient and used little propane for a very cold unit. I would like to get more info on the construction, material, spec and etc of one of these very efficient portable propane refrigerators. Can someone help me. PHIL |

I bought one 5 years ago. I did a search and found all kinds of
information. Personally I don't like it at all, but have no electricity... wrote in message oups.com... I rented a mobile home with a small refrig. that used propane.

Do these work if they're not level?

We had one on our old boat, and if that is your only alternative, they work
fairly well. They must be close to level, so are more prevalent on multihulls, although I remember hearing of one gimbeled on a mono (my perspective is sail). I'm told that assuming it can be maintained at a near level state, the motion of a boat actually improves the circulation of the ammonia coolant. It is very important to provide plenty of cooling air. I achieved a big improvement in cooling temperature by vastly increasing the vent size the builder provided (do they ever follow the recommendations of the equipment mfg ?), and added a small exhaust fan. After that, I would even observe the burner shut itself down. In addition, bear in mind that these are not really built for the marine environment. There is a lot of steel that must be painted occaisionally, else it will rust. But if you have only outboard power, propane frigs can work well. wrote in message oups.com...
