21. FREEZER OPERATION
The freezer/refrigeration unit is an air- cooled, 12V DC system. The
compressor unit is located in the port hull aft lazarette and is accessed via the
swim platform lazarette hatch.
The freezer unit in the galley is divided into two compartments. The holding
plate is in the freezer compartment and the adjacent compartment is the
refrigerator. The unit will freeze the holding plate from warm, but may take
several hours depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
The unit will automatically operate if the thermostat is on and 12 volts DC is
available. The system may be operated using AC shore power battery
charger to maintain batteries.
