Re: Fridge -- danfoss compressor 3-blink code

Does he even have the refrigerant to purge his hoses with?
Is this system a 404a or 134a?
This is reading like he has reduced available condenser capacity due to non condensable contamination....

Re: Lunaire lpsc-16hl troubleshooting

Are you sure the pump is flooded?
Just because it is below water line, doesn't mean it can't be airlocked
Have you removed the discharge hose from it and directed the flow into a bucket to confirm...

Re: Lunaire lpsc-16hl troubleshooting

Make sure the pump is actually running and it is flooded with water.
Is there a thru hull valve on the overboard side as well?

Re: Grunert R12 Fridge Compressor

Re: Is there an easy way to refill holdover plates with Eutectic solution

I was just thinking, if he has a liquid line solenoid , and a check valve, then all his liquid migration issues might be solved.
Also, has he considered converting the control to a pump down system?

Re: Air conditioning brand

3/4 wall armaflex is the standard.

Re: Air conditioning brand

5/8 I'd hoses are the standard for the seawater until you get into the large ones.
The chilled loop will also be 5/8" at the air handler, but the main supply and return lines are usually 1" or...

Re: AC is tripping the RCD at the panel.

2 pole breakers?
With a L1 and N?
Or L1 and L2?
115vac or 208/230?
My point is to start at the beginning.
then we can talk about the unit itself.

Re: Air conditioning brand

Outlaw is correct, the stuff that is designed for a house is generally not suited for the marine environment.

Re: Digital Thermostat in Fridge

Good mineral oil won't evaporate, or grow stuff. And its viscosity helps smooth the temp as sensed by the control.
I think.
We also actually use a special thermal paste to do the same thing.

Re: Digital Thermostat in Fridge

And that's where you are incorrect. There is no such thing as cold, unless you are actually describing absolute zero.

Re: Is there an easy way to refill holdover plates with Eutectic solution

The refrigerant will ALWAYS migrate to the coldest place it can, running or not.

We use a small length of copper tube with an ID big enough to fit the probe and some mineral oil.

Re: Is there an easy way to refill holdover plates with Eutectic solution

Actually, you close the receiver and then pump it down.
Don't close the suction valve..
You are reading the pressure there.

Re: Digital Thermostat in Fridge

It's an NTC probe, I didn't see the pic for some reason.
If that's the actual t-stat you have then it is super simple if you have the probe.
We use the Elliwell line of digital controllers, but...
