There are three Danfoss compressors, one for each of the two freezers, and a third for the fridge. Combined with evaporator plates and our special box design, with lots of insulation, this system is extremely efficient. We’ve discussed the box design before. What we wanted to show you here are two small, but important details.
The first is the framework surround the compressors. They are mounted in the basement and Circa have built this to protect them from the consequences of forgetting to secure gear before putting to sea.
This second detail is the header tank for the integral fridge/air conditioning cooling tank built into the hull. The intention is to maintain a small amount of positive pressure on the circulating pumps. While the pumps are self priming this head will increase the service life of these items.
