CS34 Refrigeration

Spent all day on the boat with Wenzel from the club installing the new compressor/condenser/control unit in big Still Time.

Had to make several trips to Princess Auto to get various electrical stuff.

Go the new unit hooked up and charged, and it got the fridge down to 4 degrees celcius in about 20 minutes, only drawing 3 amps of power.  Much better than the old unit.

We went to hookup the thermostat, and found it didn't work.  We troubleshooted for a while and determined that BOTH conductors in the thermostat wire had an open circuit.  We must have damaged the wire when removing the old unit.  I got a piece of Cat5 cable and strung it through.

Working Great!
