Refrigeration
| Refrigeration
is typically the largest consumer of electrical energy in an
energy efficient home. Typical refrigerators use 3 kilowatt
hours or more of electricity per day. To supply this much power
would require at least ten 50 watt solar modules in the sunniest
locations in the world and twice that many for year round operation
in the best locations in the U.S.
There
are a couple of alternatives to buying a very large solar power
system to run refrigeration. One is the Sun Frost super efficient
electric refrigerator, the other is the gas powered refrigerator.
Though at first glance the price of the Sun Frost refrigerators
may seem high, the actual cost of an inexpensive commercial
AC refrigerator, when you add the extra solar electric modules
needed to run it, most commercial refrigerators cost more than
twice as much.
The LP
gas powered refrigerator has a lower installed cost, but at
$150.00 per year for LP gas at current prices, the price is
actually higher than the Sun Frost after 8 to 10 years in sunny
locations. For areas where the sun shines less, propane refrigeration
is a good choice. |
Sun
Frost Refrigerators and Freezers
Sun Frost removes a major obstacle in powering a home with photovoltaics
or other low output sources of energy. This extremely efficient
refrigerator’s design innovations result in significant improvements
in convenience, appearance, reliability, noise levels and storage
conditions. Sun Frost refrigerators are available in 12/24 VDC
and 120 VAC models. Sun Frost refrigerators keep food fresher
longer by maintaining high humidity, which prevents freezer burn
and wilting caused by water loss in food. Defrosting is seldom
needed - Frost buildup is extremely slow, because water vapor
in the refrigerator section from moist room air or food is not
transformed into ice. When defrosting is needed, usually once
or twice a year, just transfer frozen food to the refrigerator
section and turn it off for 30 minutes. Ice quickly falls off
the smooth flat surfaces in large pieces. The Sun Frost refrigerator
comes finished on the outside with white laminate, but it can
be ordered in natural wood or any of over 100 colors or shades
of Formica or Nevamar to match kitchen decor. The spacious, well-lit
interior, made from sturdy fiberglass reinforced plastic is easy
to clean. There are no exposed ducts, tubing or hard to reach
corners. All of the shelves are adjustable. The Sun Frost refrigerator
should provide well over 15 years of trouble-free operation. The
only moving part is a hermetically sealed compressor. The brushless
motor used in the DC models eliminates periodic servicing. Low
Voltage DC Models - Energy use listed in the table below is for
12 VDC. On 24 VDC systems the same amount of energy is used, (which
is ˝ as many amp hours per day). When ordering, please specify
whether you want the hinge on the left or right. If a color is
not specified, the Sun Frost comes in white Formica. (For a different
color add $135. For a natural wood veneer, add $215.) Sun Frost
refrigerators are also available without a finish, with unfinished
birch plywood, ready for custom covering by your cabinetmaker.
Prices include crating charge. Sun Frost refrigerators are shipped
freight collect. All Sun Frost refrigerators are custom made so
delivery times will vary. Call for exact lead time. 2 year warranty. |

Frost Vaccine Refrigerators
World Health Organization Tested & Approved For the past 12
years Sun Frost refrigera-tors/ freezers have been used in over
50 countries and have an excellent track record. Sun Frost units
are very ruggedly constructed and will provide many years of reliable
operation, even in the harshest environments. The SUN FROST RFVB
provides a means of storing vac-cines and medical supplies without
the use of fossil fuels. Not only is the need for a fuel supply
eliminated, but the unit operates more reliably than kerosene
powered refrigerators. The evaporator in the RFVB is protected
by a fiberglass liner and cannot be punctured while defrosting,
a common problem in many manual defrost refrigerators. Also contributing
to the longevity of the cooling system is the compressor's low
percentage of run time, only 19% in a 32° C (90° F) room. The
low energy consumption of the RFVB allows the use of a smaller
and more reli-able battery for the funds expended. The RFVB is
the most efficient vaccine refrigerator available. The cost of
a solar power sys-tem is typically more than the cost of the refrigerator,
so efficiency is of prime importance in reducing system costs.
2-year limit-ed warranty. Call for design help. |
