Chapter 1
Frigoboat Systems
A Frigoboat refrigeration system consists of the following components:
(1)
A compressor/condensing unit that is either:
Air cooled – Paris 35F, Capri 35F, Capri 50F
Pumped-water cooled – W35F, W50F (with pump)
Keel cooled – K35F, K50F (with keel cooler)
Keel plus Air Cooled - Paris 35F, Capri 35F, or Capri 50F with Keel Cooler
(2)
An electronic controller connected to and installed on the compressor.
(3) Either a mechanical thermostat dedicated for either refrigerator or freezer or a Coastal MK 3
digital thermostat/thermometer
(5) An aluminum or stainless steel evaporator plate
(6) A water pump (For W35F or W50F only)
(7) A Keel Cooler. Standard with K35F and K50F models, optional with Air Cooled models.
APPLICATION
Frigoboat refrigeration systems are designed to preserve foodstuffs, drinks, and other consumables
intended for human consumption, and at normal refrigerator and freezer temperatures. Any use
other than that specified above invalidates the warranty and releases Veco NA LLC of any liability
for consequent damage, failure, malfunction, injury, illness, or death.

Paris 35F, Capri 35F, Capri 50F - Air cooled
These units are designed to be mounted with compressor right way up on a horizontal surface in areas
where they will not be susceptible to physical or water damage, but accessible for service. They
require good ventilation, preferably expelling the heated air to another location by attaching a flexible
duct of not more than 6' in length to the duct ring on the unit. A duct kit is available for Capri 35 and
Capri 50 models. Do not add any filter type material anywhere in the air flow.
If air is required to be drawn
into
the unit from another area, the fan may be reversed by removing the
housing and re-mounting the fan in the opposite orientation.
Reversing the fan leads does not make
the fan run in reverse, and the incorrect polarity will result in the fan not operating.
There should be adequate ventilation to allow cool air to enter the condenser, and precautions
made to prevent the heated expelled air from being drawn back in.
The temperature of the air
entering the condenser determines the efficiency of the system. Re-circulating the heated air back into
the condenser in a sealed or poorly ventilated cabinet will result in poor system performance. Poor
system performance will also result from air being drawn in from a heated space, i.e. an engine room.
