We got the holes drilled through from the freezer side to the refer side for the spill over fan.
5 – 3/8 holes for the fan.
Our dock mate Hinze suggested we not put the fan behind the EP as it can frost up and block the flow of air to the refer. That left just a little room at the back side of the separator wall for the fan to go.
We will need to add some epoxy paint to this back corner of the refer 😏
And here is the first hole on the refer side
It was a tight fit but the drill made it in
the freezer. The first hole we drilled looked too high. I miss-understood the
support email from Swedish Marine and thought Anders meant to go up 2/3 from the
bottom of the evaporator plate (EP). The we decided it was 2/3 up from the
bottom of the freezer. This took quite a while as we (Debbie) made a fan template and
did a lot of measuring. Not an easy spot to get at, and that's news? We did a lot of jaw boning about this as I was going to drill and just guess as to location but Debbie suggested that was like pounding the nail into the wall looking for a stud. Now I know how that turns out, lots of holes and one that hits the stud!
We are also putting a shelf into the refer and did not want
the fan to be in the way of the shelf or visa versa. And now it will not be as the fan placement is correct.
The one hole on the top right was the mistake, it will get filled.
We finally got it
right and drilled the five holes. Now we will wire up the fan and get the
screws need to install it. The wires will go through a yet to-be-drilled hole
from the refer to the freezer and then through the hole out by the compressor
and up into the galley to the thermostat.
We are also
installing 10” led strip lights in both compartments.
We will install two in
the refer and we are hoping one in the freezer, if the light can stand zero degrees
temperature. These are the same type as we installed in the engine room (4 -20 inch SeaMaster LED strips) and we like them a lot.
So there is one 3/8 hole to fill, top right.
Next is the spill over hole for the hot air to go to the
freezer. We will drill a hole in the separator wall and install a PVC pipe for this return air hole. We decide not to recces the fan in the separation wall as we have plenty of space in our refer and the fan will not be in our way.
Here is the fan held in place with a pencil in one of the holes.
We did not have screws that fit so off to Marine Exchange tomorrow for supplies. Debbie has already been to HD for PVC pipe etc. The fan is not shown with the face plate on it.
PVC pipe stuck, needed a not-so gentle pat with the hammer.
Hole to lazerett that needs sealing up around edges and a chanfer on the plywood.
Needs to be cut flush and sealed around the edges.
We also installed a PVC pipe into the lazarett from the freezer. It was a tight fit which is good and it is at an angle so the hole will miss the yet to be installed propane locker. We will now need to mark it and cut it flush. Then we wills seal it up around the edges. This took a bit of hammering to get it through the middle layer of the original fiberglass freezer.
There needs to be a hole for the wires, thermostat, lights, and fan wires to go from the refer to the freezer and out the back. That is probably a 1/2 hole to be drilled.
