Can you put a fridge in the tool box?

its actually to ensure proper condensing...nothing to do with the compressor

Yep,, how to keep the dust out and provide ventilation looks like a big problem.

Although I have it in the back of my mind that I have seen it in my travels somewhere.

It may be back to the drawing board on where to put the fridge.

Dust like moisture can lead to failure of electrics through electric conduction or thermal insulation effects.

Some things are dust proof as in conformally coated circuit boards or sealed/insulated connectors that are water & dust resistant.

That doesn't mean dust can be ignored... vents must be remain sufficiently free.


I mention this after a dilemna many years ago involving expensive fan-cooled critical equipment... Should we have air filters?
Ideally yes, but if the filters are not maintained they with block and cause shutdown....
FYI - My decision was conformally coated "dirt proof" PCBs etc and no air filters.
In retrospect a brilliant decision; although I wanted to reduce costs by not requiring 3-monthly maintenance visits, that later became a reality with new-world KRA and bonus driven economics - ie, no preventative maintenance. (Instead of shutting down ~twice a year from blocked filters, the now leaking roofs rinse the dust off!! During droughts the normal annual or "post-fail" maintenance applies.)

My 80lt Waeco sit's on the front of the trailer in a fridge box with a circulation fan running thru the day and is working very well at the moment keeping to the set Temps. I have just today rigged the solar panels to run 24/7 to maintain the trailer. I will have a report over the next month or so. Barnray

Thanks for the help fellas, I have done a bit more investigating and there is a mob that makes 'long' slides, I think about 1400mm long which are designed to fit two fridges, so I may be able to fit it the back of the troopy, which is my preferred option.

I will contact them tomorrow.
