Project:
Insulate and Ventilate Refer
(click
on any of the small pictures for a large one!)
Why
|
We had the refrierator pulled out anyway to help with the air conditioning install, so I thought it might be a good time to insulate the cabinet area, and install some ventilating fans to pull more air past the heat exchanger coils. Plus, I had a lot of cheapo (Lowe's exterior house insulation 4 x 8 sheet, foil faced on one side, about 1" thick) insulating material left over from the salon roof, I thought I'd put it to some use instead of throwing it away. |
Where
| Did this while in the yard having the windows replaced. |
The Job
|
There
were two ventilation holes in the back wall that exited to a passive
vent on the inside of the bulwark/side deck. I decided to put
in a couple of muffin fans to help the air flow. I ran one Finally, I put some switches to turn off each of the fans just under the seat next to the fridge. |
Results
|
I really don't have anything to compare the results to, because I did all of this before I put the boat in the water for the first time. Anyway, for only about $20., it probably was worth the cost and time even if it only helps a little. |
