hey larry if you want to make your chest freezer fridge even more effecient pull the sheet metal off the sides, free the coils from the foam then add
3 or 4 more inches of insulation.now cover the foam with FRP then re-attach the coils on the outside of the box. I did this on both chest freezers
(fridge and freezer).

Thanks for posting about your project Larry.
I might be one of the few females who doesn't suffer from crazy chocolate cravings. But lemme tell you, it doesn't get much better than
an icy cold cerveza, M&M's, and Monterrey Jack cheese!

Just an update, now that the weather has cooled down into the 70's, I did a recheck of the power usage of my freezer conversion and in one 24 hour
period it used 210 watts and kept the beer and sodas at 41 degrees. Just right. So far I am happy with the way it performs.

That is so cool Larry.
We moved our electric fridge out to the pantry area awhile back where it has a 15' ceiling and a high window for ventilation. That simple move helped
the coils transfer heat much better, cutting the power usage down by about 10% this summer.

This is way cool. I received my A419 a couple days ago and wired it up yesterday. Can't wait to get down there and try it out. We always bring lots of
produce and lettuce because my wife likes her salads and they were filling up our camper fridge, which has a hard time keeping up during the summer.
This should work nicely.

I look forward to your report on how it turns out. We are building my daughter´s place down here and since it will only be for part time / vacation
use we are looking at some options that will help to keep her off-grid needs to a minimum for now...

I'm sure it will work fine. I use my chest freezer for keeping ice and running it 24/7 was taxing my batteries, so I started cycling it off at night.
It wasn't always cold enough for the ice but it would be fine for a fridge.

I find that this time of year down here, my fridge/freezer uses right at 200 watts in 24 hours. I would be interested in hearing what yours uses.
