Introduction
Nova Kool’s refrigeration systems are designed to run
efficiently from AC Shore Power, Battery Power, or Solar
Electric Power.
The refrigerator door is shipped right hinged. This can
easily be changed by removing the door pins and latch pin and
re-installing them on the opposite hinge
bracket. The decorative panel can be easily
changed to match the interior of the boat.
The unit is charged with a CFC free
R134A. This refrigerant is a Zero Ozone
Depleter.
Our unit features a reciprocating
compressor which is very efficient; while
running it uses less than 60 watt hrs. / hr.
All our refrigerators and freezers have
built in battery protection. This feature is
designed to help protect the battery from damage due to
accidental Deep discharge.
Typical AC/DC Refrigerator
Refrigerant Charge & Sealed System
Your Nova Kool is charged with R134a. This is a environ-
mentally safe refrigerant with a “O” Ozone Depletion Potential.
It is used by most of the domestic refrigeration and appli-
ance repair companies and manufacturers.
If you need to repair the closed sealed system, use a quali-
fied appliance refrigeration person. This is seldom necessary so
be sure first, and before any arrangement is made contact Nova
Kool.
Operational Sequence
When the thermostat is turned on (you should hear a click)
the compressor should try to start. It is not uncommon to hear
a small squeak when it tries to start. If it does not start on the
first attempt it will continue to try every 40 seconds. If, for
some reason, the compressor becomes overloaded it will go
through this cycle and the fan will continue to run during the 40
seconds. When the thermostat is satisfied, the compressor and
fan (optional) shut down.
