Qué cubre este vídeo
A DIY refrigeration conversion on the 30-ft sailboat Solé involves installing a custom-fabricated evaporator plate and compressor kit into an existing icebox.3:22 The installation requires drilling through the icebox wall to route refrigerant lines, which must be bent carefully to avoid kinking.12:45 To mitigate potential vibration noise, the compressor is mounted using rubber anti-skid pads as standoffs.15:55 The system draws approximately 20 to 21 watts of power, monitored via the WattCycle app connected to a 280Ah battery bank.25:43 Because the compressor is mounted near the boat's autopilot, the owner plans to monitor for electromagnetic interference and potentially use ferrite shields or an isolator if the autopilot malfunctions.17:38 The icebox was found to have existing insulation, though the owner intends to add a one-inch foam layer to the floor to prevent cold air loss.10:51
