National Luna LEGACY Fridge Manual

The compressor is controlled by the digital thermostat. It has a unique Multi - Speed (2,000 - 3,500 rpm)
capability which makes it ideal for use in all mobile applications up to an angle of 35 degrees. It can
function efficiently in extreme conditions where it is not uncommon to have ambient temperatures
above 40ºC.
To control temperature, the thermostat sensor must be placed in a position in order to take an accurate
temperature reading.
For practical purposes National Luna has elected to place this temperature sensor behind the metal
surface forming the interior compartment of the Fridge/Freezer. Thus the switching on and off of the
compressor will be controlled by the compartment surface area temperature.
The inner volume of the cooling bin (i.e. core/centre temperature) will take time to “pull down” to
equalise the compartment temperature. (In practice it is common that the set temperature will be within
3ºC of the core temperature).
Ambient temperatures surrounding the Fridge must also be taken into consideration. Very high
ambient temperatures will affect the running time of the fridge. (e.g. The Fridge will run longer to
maintain or reach the target temperature setting.)
