Introduction; Terminology - Waeco ADLER /BARBOUR SERIES Installation & Operating Manual

Thank you for purchasing your new ADLER/BARBOUR marine
refrigeration system. This manual will explain how to install the
system on your boat—in just a few hours—with ordinary tools.
NOTE: This system is charged with HFC134 a non-ozone depleting
refrigerant. Please refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
SECTION of this manual for more details.
VARIABLE CAPACITY COMPRESSOR WITH LOAD MATCHING
Commnecing February 2000, all ADLER/BARBOUR products are
equipped with the most advanced DC compressor ever—the
Danfoss BD50F. Its wider performance range enables us to
precisely match the compressor speed and capacity to the job it
must do, while still keeping power consumption to a minimum.
This means:
For the largest refrigerators, and for all freezer applications,
the compressor operates at maximum 3500 RPM, producing
approximately 25% higher performance than previous BD35F
compressor.
For mid-sized refrigerators, and for most freezer applications,
the compressor operates at 3000 RPM, with about 15% higher
performance than previous models.
For smaller refrigerator applications using our VD-150 and
VD-151 systems, the compressor will operate at 2500 RPM—still
delivering slightly higher performance than previously.
For every application, the BD50F-based ADLER/BARBOUR
products deliver top efficiency with minimal power consumption.

TERMINOLOGY

Below are terms and definitions that will be used throughout this
manual:
CONDENSING UNIT:
The stainless steel base
electronic control module, electrical housing and terminal block,
refrigerant couplings, air-cooled condenser and shroud (the
condensing unit comes precharged with R134a refrigerant).
Condensing units may be:
• ColdMachine™ (air-cooled only)
• SuperColdMachine™ (air/water-cooled)
EVAPORATOR:
Also referred to as "the freezer", this is the formed
aluminum "bin" (or custom-formed "L", "U", or "flat") with
connecting tubeset and couplings (also precharged with R134a
refrigerant). Mounts inside the space to be refrigerated.

INTRODUCTION

plate mounted compressor,
Contents, specifications and availability are subject to change without notice.
PowerPlate:
The flat, stainless steel, holdover plate-type evaporator
(precharged with R134a refrigerant). Mounts inside the space to
be refrigerated.
Tubeset:
The copper refrigerant tubing and couplings, also precharged with
R134a refrigerant. Tubesets may come attached (evaporators) or
separate (PowerPlates).
Thermostatic Control (T'stat):
May be analog (knob) type or digital (LED display) type.
Cabinet, Box, Icebox, Compartment:
The insulated space that will be converted into a mechanical
refrigerator, freezer, or combination refrigerator/freezer.
LED:
Light Emitting Diode. Mounted in the junction box, used for
diagnostics.
Electronic Module:
The housing attached to the compressor provides complete digital
system management.
Junction Box:
The stainless steel housing with terminal block, LED, t'stat harness
socket, fuses and relay.
ColdMachine™:
The term "ColdMachine" is used throughout this manual when
referring to the condensing unit (whether air cooled only of
air/water cooled).
