NOW am i asking for the impossible - should i build something - buy
something marine like the glacier bay kits both insulation compressor
and cold plates- or can i buy some domestic white goods and modify
them - OR OR OR what are my options?
We lived with two Engel units for about two years. The were 1.5 CuFt,
basically a freon powered Igloo cooler. They pulled about two amps at 12 volts. I
had two, one set to 38 degF and the other to zero degF. Together they used
less than 100 AH/day. The big drawback was that they had only about an inch of
insulation because they seemed to be designed to be used where there was a
continous supply of 12v juice, such as in a motor vehicle.
However, they were well designed by a German, solidly built by the Japs, and
worked very well even considering the AH useage for their size. The were also
self contained, trouble free, and sold quickly when I moved up to my present
Sundanzer units.
