If you are using a home type refrigerator do you have to use the wall and roof vents. | ||

I think the best unit (home type) might be the one that blows the warm air from under the frig out to the room via the kick board. We tend to box this equipmeent in so natural cooling with radiators on the rear might not work well. The Wall and roof vents are intended for gas friges where the air for combustion and cooling come in from the wall and vent out the roof. An un-needed effect for a home type electric frig.

Most refrigerators specify different clearnaces if you are gong to box it in. Like 3" in the back, not 1 1/2", 2" on the sides not 3/4" etc. For air flow. | ||

I am using a GE 11.8 cu/ft, boxed in, static condensor on the back with about 1 1/2" of clearance. However the back wall of the fridge compartment is open 18" top and bottom and there is a 12" open dead-space behind that wall. Thus far, it is working fine (in temps into the high 90's). If it appears to need more air flow I will add a muffin fan above the condensor and discharge it into the air ducts of the bus a/c-heating, much the same as what I did for our counter-top convection microwave that is built in. Muffin fans work great for me: low power, quiet, and just enough air movement to evacuate a confined area. | ||

We plan on leaving some space, plus using a smallish muffin fan vented to the outside roof to let the reefer breathe, particularly in hot weather. |
