The Dometic Cool Power CU-55 + VD-01 fridge compressor & evaporator is a complete cooling system for up to 100L. Perfect for making a compartment into a fridge on board your boat.
If a standard build-in fridge or portable fridge doesn't quite work for your requirements perhaps you could make your own compartment into a fridge or freezer? This package provides the refrigeration compressor and cooling evaporator plate to do just this. Suitable for up to 100 litre capacity this 'build-your-own' fridge can be a useful way of making the most out of the space provided on board.
Each 'build-your-own' fridge comes with a compressor unit that creates the cold air and an evaporator plate that distributes the cold air. This package is thermostatically controlled by a dial with various settings for your desired temperature and an LED indication light.
This 'build-your-own' fridge compartment package comes with the Dometic ColdMachine CU-55 12/24 volt cooling unit. This power-regulated compressor unit is efficient, quiet, and not sensitive to tilts making it a good choice for boat installations. The compressor unit is fixed to a stainless steel mounting plate that offers durability and flexibility for installation, it is also corrosion resistant which suits the marine environment. The pre-charged refrigerant and self-sealing valve couplings make for easy installation during hook-up to the evaporated unit.
The Dometic ColdMachine VD-01 Evaporator is included in this 'build-your-own' fridge compartment package. This 'L' shaped evaporator unit can be installed horizontally or vertically and can be connected to the compressor with the self-sealing valve couplings for easy installation. The flexible connecting pipe also provides flexibility with installation options (approximately 2m long).
