"DSK" whined like a limp-wristed wimp.


You obviously have nothing intelligent to say on the subject of
cruising, sailing, or (distantly related topic) marine refrigeration.

Too bad you're too blind to read the post in alt.sailing.asa cut and pasted

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.


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.
