Not real sure about that Jim.
Okay, it would be folly to actually SHARE the inner workings between the two systems, but they could run side by side.
Over a compressor fridge, there isn't a whole lot more really as far as bulk is concerned.
Yes, it will increase one end outwards by maybe 50 mm., but that would be all.
On the link supplied, it says it will run for a month on 9 kg. Okay, that's at optimum settings and conditions, but you need a damn good solar set up, and storage facility to get to those numbers. How much is 9 kg. gas again?
If one of the manufacturers took this up, it would sell real good. Don't need the 240 / 12 volt heater, you've already got the 12 volt compressor.
A proper fridge, for REAL conditions, without having to fuss around chasing sunlight, which in the tropics can just plain suck.
