Convert a coolbox into a compressor cooled, thermostat regulated, fridge or freezer with the ability to freeze down to -18°C. Designed for easy DIY installation thanks to the “click-on” mounting bracket system, the air-cooled compressor features a quiet running fan to blow air through the condenser to remove heat. The cooling pipes that connect the compressor to the cooling plate feature 'quick connect' fittings, so that you can connect the two items together without any loss of refrigerant. The unit comes pre-filled, and does not require filling after installation. It is advisable that the compartment that the compressor is installed in is well ventilated allowing cold air to enter from below and hot air to escape to the top. The evaporator plate, which is fitted in the coolbox, connects to the compressor with self-sealing quick couplings.

Easier to install than I expected. Manual was pretty good and the only problem I had was unfurling/furling of the connecting pipework!

Absolute fantastic fitted it to a cooler type fridge that used a fan system that was totally useless. And now we can have ice cold drinks if set low or keep frozen food frozen if set high The small compressor sits in the bow of the boat and the fridge slots back into the original space. The condensing panel bent easily to fit inside the fridge cabinet. A bit of expanding foam to repair the insulation and the job was done.

After putting up with warm beer and milk and food going off, I decided to convert the built in 60 litre coolbox on my Westerly Konsort to a fridge. The Isotherm Classic GE-80 Fridge Kit was reasonably priced and had the right size evaporator plate to fit the dimensions of my coolbox. Installation was simple, the kit came complete with a click on mounting bracket for the compressor which can be mounted on a bulkhead or floor section you just have to be careful routing the pipework as it could become damaged if treated roughly. I installed the thermostat inside the coolbox which saved me trying to find a space for it in my very small galley I have just spent a week on board in glorious hot weather and the fridge has performed perfectly. It draws about 2.8 amps when the compressor is running. My 30 watt solar panel just about keeps up with it running constantly. It is extremely quiet I don't hear it at all. I wish I'd gotten it years ago. Definitely recommend. Les Short
