More on Fridge/freezer insulation
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2006 3:18 pm
Hi Folks
Been doing some more homework on this subject.
Standout Yacht Fittings supplies"Super Q" Ice Saver Blankets(1101 series)
An insulated blanket just 1/2" thick fits on top of loaded ice boxes and refrigerators. Directly on top of the food and drink.
This blanket will allow ice to last 3 times longer, be 20 degrees colder and allows 3 times the cooling power. Fridge engine run hours are reduced 30 to 50%.
You need to give them exact measurements of your unit. Cost 8 cents per sq.inch
They also supply pads for inside walls and bottom-waterproof closed cell foam sandwiched with "double-bubble" foil 3/4" thick 7 cents per sq.inch.
I am going to take the measurements and order the stuff and will let you know how well it works. Be back on board Dec. 17 but will probably tackle this project after Jan. 3.
In the meantime if any of you want to get a head start.
