Fridge question

where did you hear this big furphy "the chimney has an open back to prevent wind gusts blowing down the flue and extinguishing the flame"? that is furphy flea manure

you can buy and should be fitted a proper chimney kit. under no circumstances is the chimney supposed to exhaust into the fridge cavity. the only reason why it is like that is because the fridge was not fitted correctly originally

Hi, Regards the position of the fans ( there has been a lot of disscussion on this) we have done some testing and found that blowing the hot air out the top vent worked better than sucking cold in the bottom and it stopped the hot air blowing in the van around the fridge etc, it sucks any hot air etc from around the fridge as well as the flue.
with mine I have it manualy switched and only need to turn it on when the wind is from the door side, realy makes a difference to the efficiency of the unit.
Cheers Des.

PS. I forgot I have a 75mm fan from DSE $32.00. Tried the PC ones not much chop. "D"

Paul.
The flue vent as fitted to our van is an angled tube, about 30* from horizontal which fits on top of the flue outlet from the boiler flue.
It is part of the Dometic fridge installation kit.
It directs the hot gas to the vent (that little compartment on the R/H side of the main vent) but is open ended to the other end, as I said to prevent wind gusts blowing the gas dame out.
I closed the end off to see what would happen. The gas flame went out from the gusting wind.
Self explanatory.
Dont worry about the "furphy crap", you are full off it.
Why comment on things you have no idea about,eh?
