The cold plates were purchased (usually Dole) , as was the compressor and the rest of the gear by Grunert..

New compressors are seldom more efficient , but if yours dies a company like harry alter , or your local commercial refrigeration supply will have the newest version of the size compressor you require.

R-12 is expensive , the replacement using both propane and butane is about 15% more efficient , and cheap and available ,

BUT it is flammable. In England with the very indifferent labor there have been some leaks , but boats are usually serviced by pros.

Use it with a bilge sniffer (as a propane stove would use) if you worry.

The temperature the plate requires is about 10deg below the eutetic freeze/ melt temp.

This will be set by the TX valve.
