Selecting Best Refrigerator for a Boat
I receive a lot of questions asking what icebox conversion
refrigeration unit I recommend they purchase. It seems like every unit sold has at least one application. The reason it is difficult to answer this type of question is because there are at least 100 different refrigeration options to choose from. There are no two boats or their owner’s refrigeration requirements the same. Here are a few questions to consider when selecting the correct refrigeration system for your boat, what refrigeration temperature is box to be maintained at? Where will energy come from and is there enough to operate refrigeration? What size compressor is needed? How will the unit perform in the intended cruising climate weather conditions? What are the reliability concerns and consumer reports on unit you are considering purchasing. With a lack of interest in manufacturing larger pleasure boat icebox conversion refrigeration units many boats are installing more than one compressor system to achieve greater capacity. I was ask recently on my refrigeration forum for my opinion of Glacier Bay’s Micro HSP 12 volt refrigeration system for boats. The only information in my library about the Micro HSP is from GB the manufacturer. I tried to answer the request as best as I could. I would like to here from anyone with personal extended experience with the Micro HSP unit used in a live aboard application in a hot climate. |
