CONDENSING UNIT LOCATION AND MOUNTING
The water-cooling option should be considered supplemental cooling. Installation
should proceed with a proper air-cooled installation first. The water-cooling feature
should be used to enhance efficiency on occasions when cold-water temperatures are
encountered or interior cabin air temperatures are extreme.
The design of the Sea Frost BD allows placement in an enclosed space such as a cabin
locker or sail locker. Intake air should be drawn in from the cabin area to insure the
coolest, driest air supply. Standard 4" duct hose may be used. Discharge may need to
be vented to allow warm air to escape. Intake ducting from the exterior of the boat may
cause damp salt air to be drawn in which might reduce the life of your BD. This will also
increase below deck moisture. ALLOW 1.5" CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE
CONDENSER (BACK VENT AREA) AND ANY BULKHEAD TO INSURE PROPER
AIRFLOW THROUGH THE CONDENSER.

Summary of Contents for Sea Frost 372 ROUTE

  • Page 1 The design of the Sea Frost BD allows placement in an enclosed space such as a cabin locker or sail locker. Intake air should be drawn in from the cabin area to insure the coolest, driest air supply.
  • Page 2: Pump Installation

    (condenser) air outlet be exposed. A duct hose will require 4 inches of clearance past the end of the cabinet. Mount the Sea Frost BD level, (the compressor is at the bottom). The BD may be platform mounted. Two holes have been drilled through the bottom for screw mounting to a shelf or bulkhead.
  • Page 3: Pump Wiring

    If the plate is wall mounted a vertical ice tray kit is available. Before mounting the plate, consider access to the thermostat. The Sea Frost BD plate mounts with a Wellnut expandable neoprene blind hole fastener.
  • Page 4: Electrical Connection

    Support the tubing every 18 inches as necessary using tie wraps fastened with self- tapping screws. Insulate at least 3' of the line set as it exits the refrigerator box. Seal both sides of the exit holes in the refrigerator box with permagum sealing compound.
  • Page 5: Refrigerant Charge

    WIRE SIZE 12-volt installations use AWG #10 wire for distances up to 10 feet for the wire pair, and #8 AWG wire for distances up to 25 feet for the wire pair. Fuse 15 Amps. 24 Volts: The module will self calibrate to the applied voltage and provide proper fan voltage.
  • Page 6 STANDARD THERMOSTAT WIRING CONNECTIONS Connect the thermostat wires to the yellow wire harness, which is connected to terminals C and T on the module. The yellow wire harness contains a 1500-ohm resistor, which programs the module to operate the compressor at maximum RPM. There is no polarity requirement.
  • Page 7 This is best because these positions remain colder. The SEA FROST BD thermostat is variable. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise turns the unit "OFF". The fully clockwise setting is the coldest (three snowflakes). The thermostat may be adjusted to obtain any temperature desired in the cabinet.
  • Page 8: Operation Description

    It will not cool faster with a colder setting.) The SEA FROST BD is a small system. It is efficient in its electrical conversion of energy to heat movement. By being small it is quiet, compact, has low electrical starting requirements and running power draw, and is able to be air-cooled.
  • Page 9: Operation Inspection

    Boiling water or a scraper will also work. OPERATION INSPECTION Within a few minutes of starting the Sea Frost BD, the tubing in close proximity to the valve mounted on the plate and the valve itself will be noticeably cold. IF AFTER 20 MINUTES OF OPERATION, COOLING IN THIS AREA IS NOT OBSERVED DO NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM.
  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING A light emitting diode (LED) is connected between terminals + and D. In case the electronic unit records an operational error, the diode will flash a number of times. The number of flashes depends on what kind of operational error was recorded. Each flash lasts 1/4 second.
