My 33-year old coldplate refrigeration system by Grunert needs to be replaced. I’m throwing way too much good money at it every year and am not getting positive returns.
Recently, I was talking to a marine refrigeration technician, and he recommended Frigoboat systems. It involves removing the Grunert system and retrofitting their system. I can use my existing cold box and cabinetry. A plus!
The Grunert systems requires 120 VAC and the Frigoboat, that I’m considering, uses 12 VDC. Another plus, in my mind.
Also, since the Frigoboat system is air cooled, I can seal up one of many through hulls on the boat.
Thoughts? Experience with Frigoboat?
