Refrigerator
Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2011 1:48 pm
I purchased a Dometic CF-50, AC/DC, 1.7cu. ft., 52 quart refrigerator/freezer. The day it arrived I set it up in my living room with an Interstate SRM-24, 85 Ah, 12 volt battery. I set the thermostat at 37 degrees F. Room temperature was 71. It ran for 3 days and drew the battery down to about 45-50% @12V.
I had some food stuffs and beer and wine in the refer and opened it a few times a day.
I ran it without the insulated cover, which I also purchased. The cover supposedly makes the refer about 20% more efficient.
We sail the Great Lakes so it seldom gets above 80 or even 70 on the water, especially overnight.
We will be spending 9 days off Door County at the end of June. I'll let you know how a real-world test goes.
