Interesting that you mention the Isotherm Smart Controller as I was just looking at them the other day. When we got our frig quite a while ago, all you had for a choice was mechanical or the ASU...

Yep, I don't think we will see Danfoss changing a bunch of things just to break even on energy use, or even get small gains.


I do think it might be possible that a startup would just take the...

I think it is very possible that the technology of the 110v compressors has surpassed the now relatively old tech of the Danfoss which has been around a long time. Energy Star rules are very...

Back to the mini frig stuff.


I looked at a whole bunch of the newest models, and for similar sizes they nearly all use the same energy star rated power. This would say they are all likely to be...

This is one of those discussions that can go on forever, but what I have seen in most of the actually tested literature is very basic.


The thermal mass benefit is to reduce cycling and...

I just looked up a few of he Magic Chef dorm frigs, which have energy star rating stickers so pretty easy to do some calcs. They give yearly watt-hours of energy used, so you can go backwards to...

A compressor frig can have the venting either inside or outside. Most of the conversions from 3 way units, like ours, are vented outside through the original frig vents so no heat inside at all. ...

Absorption frigs are probably the least efficient refrigerator you can get. Sure, they work better on propane than on 110v or 12v, but that is only because you can get more heat out propane than you...

I can certainly believe the duty cycle for an unopened chest cooler, as they are much better than the vertical door stuff. Running about 1/20th of the time at about 10 amps DC by the time the...

1.5 amps of 110v is something like 165 watts, and that will be taking about 15+ amps of DC when running through the inverter. That is 3X the DC amps that the Danfoss cooled compressor frigs and...

Add us to that also. When I ordered ours, I got the 12v only version.


I do think that if I were doing a DIY or a major renovation I would look at using one or maybe two rollout chest frigs. ...

There have been quite a few "dorm frig" conversions done over the years on various forums, with varying success.


Aside from needing the inverter running all the time, the 110v only frigs tend to...
