Features:

  • All E-Z Kold conversion kits are made with high quality materials and components, such as welded stainless steel, not stamped, cold plates
  • Pre-chargd with environmentally friendly R124a refrigerant and factory run for a minimum of 24 hours to insure proper operation before shipping
  • True 12 Volt condenser draws power from your batteries which are charged when the engine is running or the boat is hooked up to shore power or alternate power source such as wind or solar.
  • Compressor has brushless (Danfoss BD-35® models) run at low speed when battery power is reduced and will not run if batteries are low, never draining the batteries completely.
  • The refrigerant tubing is made of a salt water-resistant alloy.
  • The connectors are quick-connect / quick-disconnect pressurized fittings.
  • The new larger condenser is 25% more efficient than the previous model.
  • Water & air cooled units are designed that the fan always runs whenever the compressor operates preventing loss of Refrigeration due to a plugged through hull.
  • All air/water cooled units equipped with an on/off switch for the water pump, to reduce current draw on cool days or for when a boat is unattended for extended periods.
  • The pump is self-priming, quiet, will not be harmed if run dry, does not require a separate through hull and can be mounted above the water line.
  • The two-plate and box plate systems are configured with the larger Danfoss BD-50® variable speed compressor.
  • Cold plates are filled with a non-toxic, non-brine eutectic solution.
  • We also supply stainless steel screws for mounting the unit in the icebox.

  • No water pump required - refrigerant tubes are extended through the hull and cooled by external water (requires a separate through hull fitting).
  • Our test results for a 6 cubic foot, well insulated, top-loading box using a wrap-around box style cooled cold plate at 70° F/21° C are as follows:
      Air cooled compressor 24 amps/24 hours
      Keel cooled compressor 48 amps/24 hours
      Keel & air cooled compressor 21 amps/24 hours
      Air & Water cooled compressor 18 amps/24 hours

Water & Air Cooled Conversion Kits
Water & Air cooled units are designed so that the air cooling operates whenever the compressor runs, this will prevent loss of refrigeration due to a plugged through hull or other loss of water pressure. On a cool day, you can also choose to run on air-cooling only, as the current draw is less.
