    Need help IDing refrigeration on '76 E29

    Hello all, new to sailing (10-16) and working the bugs out of my 1976 E29 (loving the boat & sailing) and could use a hand identifying the refrigerator so I can hopefully get a diagram and a line on replacement parts. Please see pics and thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Refrigerator circulation fan placement question

    We are currently completing the installation of refrigeration in our E38-200. We are planning to add a small computer fan with a tube (duct) to act as a circulation fan running continuously in order to improve uniformity of temperature distribution through the box. This diagram depicts the way I...

    Norcold conversion Refrigeration unit

    Hi all, We have a 1976 E-32. We are looking to install a refrigeration system to the icebox. I have looked on-line at various types of units and I am not sure which way to go, evaporator type or cold plate. I am interested in hearing pros and cons of each. I understand the running time of...

    Refrigeration Question

    Does anyone know off hand the cubic size of the icebox in a 35-3? I'm in the process of installing a Frigoboat system and realized I ordered an evaporator bin that's too large for my box. I'm trying to negotiate an exchange with the dealer and am away from the boat and don't have my measurements...

    Need some refrigeration help, please

    Our Norcold refrigerator still runs and the LED light on the thermostat is lit, but the refrigerator does not get cold at all. It has worked fine in the past, though in recent months I had a suspicion that it wasn't cooling as effectively as before, though it was definitely working. I think...

    Frigoboat Refrigeration - dividing the box?

    I heard this week about Frigoboat and their divided refrigerator boxes. Is there anyone who has partitioned their refrigerator and uses the Frigoboat keel-cooled unit with it? Updating or replacing the 10 year old refrigeration unit on our 1980 E38 is becoming more of an imperative after the...

    Ahoy! Refrigeration Techs

    I am installing a used Adler Barbour DCM-12 Condensing Unit from the mid 80's and want to change the Refrigerant from BANNED R-12 to R-134a. Techs have offered to SNEAK me some R-12, but I want to have a System that can be worked on and charged worldwide in the Future :nerd: Please help me...

    Need help with modifications tankage windlass refrigeration and bimini

    I expect to complete the purchase of Windfall, a 1990 38-200 over the next week or so and bring it home from Rhode Island to St. Croix. The boat is wonderfully equipped but needs modifications in several areas to accommodate its new Caribbean home and some owner needs. I hope some of you can...

    E34 refrigeration

    The E34 1987 I'm about to buy does not have any refrigeration. I would like to install one and find out: - where the factory placed the compressor (as refrigeration was an option for the original owners) - in which icebox (port or starboard) the factory placed the evaporator - what...

    Refrigeration Recharge

    Hey Guys, Has anyone recharged their own Adler Barbour cold machine themselves with the 134a kits from the auto parts stores? Mine is a few years old and I'm not happy with my mounting location. I'm going to move my compressor unit and it is low on coolant now anyway so I figure I will have...

    38-200 Refrigeration Installation Options

    I've been contemplating installing a DC refrigeration system to our boat for the last few years. Previously, I decided on the Frigoboat system (Thank's Loren). I'm happy with that decision. I even bought the keel cooler last year ago, but I didn't get around to installing it. I had a few to...

    refrigeration

    Ok, what I thought was a 3 day gig to change out my battery charger and install a conversion refer in the larger ice box, well let me put it this way. If I was 20 years younger and 20 lbs lighter, it would have taken 2 days instead of 3 1/2 days. Whew! The good news is that we now have a...

    Refrigeration

    Time to convert the big ice box! Our 1984 35-3 is already originally pre-wired. Looks like I have a couple of choices that make sense. The Nova Cool comes with a small Evaporator/freezer box that may fit in the ice box, the overflow cool thus refers the whole ice box. Other choice is the...

    Refrigeration and battery consumption

    We have an older Adler-Barbour condenser unit with a Waeco compressor and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for reducing energy consumption from it (other than the obvious turn it down and don't open it stuff)? I'm increasing overall amp hours by changing from single house battery to a 2...

    Installing Refrigeration on my 27

    I will be installing refrigeration on my 27 this week and am concerned about the insulation. Not so much around the outside of the existing ice box (as I understand that there is adequate insulation around it and I will add a little extra) but the lid itself. My 1974 just has a 1/4 inch lid that...

    Ericson 38-200 Refrigeration

    Hello everyone, I am interested in adding refrigeration to my list of goodies on "Ocean Dreams", our 1989 38, based in Mystic, CT. I have looked over most of the systems and think I will keep it simple with the Adler Barbour cold machine with a large vertical evaporator. I am curious as to...

    Adding Refrigeration...

    I have been spec-ing out the size and type of components for converting our ice box. I have measured our existing box several times and I calculate it to be (about) 3.0 cu. feet of interior. I do not know why, but this just seems like "too small" of a number. The tape doesn't lie, though...

    E 36C Refrigeration

    We're looking for some advice on refrigeration units for converting over our ice box. Has anyone tried Technautics Coolblue? We want to use a DC unit. But not sure where to start, any advice would appreciated.

    E-35 III refrigeration replacement/upgrade

    My 1986 ER-35 III Alibi II has a Norcold 110/12 volt wheezing and gasping refrigeration unit with a small L-shaped flat evaporator plate (10x17x12high) in the aft icebox that is not keeping up with our Texas summers (or Fall or Spring for that matter). I am considering replacing the unit with a...

    refrigeration on my 30+

    I converted my icebox with a Nova Kool DC unit but find that there is inadequate insulation between the engine area and the cooler. I was thinking that I would modify my chart table into a top loader fridge (it is too small for chart work anyway). I thought I could raise the chart table...

    35-3 Refrigeration & the better half

    Greetings.. I'm a new 84 E35-3 owner. One of the conditions of my better half is onboard refrigeration. The boat has the standard two iceboxes in the galley. I found the fridge OEM wiring harness for AC and DC in the SB cockpit locker. I can only assume the condenser goes in there...

    Adding refrigeration

    I'm currently evaluating refrigeration to my 1086 E35-3. Would appreciate responses as to what brand and model you E35 owners have installed and how efficient they are. My cooler is 6.5 cubit feet. Thanks

    Refrigeration Question

    My aged Adler-Barbour seems to run all the time, and one of the copper tubes (about 10 feet long) leading from the compressor to the cold plate is coated with a thick layer of frost. The inside of the fridge itself is just about the right temperature...not too hot and not too cold, so I'm...
