Incorrect.

Every issue has its pros and cons.

Correspondingly, every solution has its problems.

These are...

Re: Another look at Solar Powered refrigeration on sailboats

The following statements are always true:

My position is that improved insulation may help improve fridge performance of any technology. So do good seals, and avoiding frequent or long duration opening, or...

Re: Another look at Solar Powered refrigeration on sailboats
