Frigoboat Freezer Systems

A freezer on board is a great convenience and can really enhance the selection and quality of food on board.

A well designed freezer can store a freshly caught fish or lobster for weeks.

A freezer can also consume a lot of energy so careful planning and design will really pay off.

In general a freezer compartment should be no larger than necessary. Empty space in a freezer will still consume energy. It should be well insulated and sealed. Recommended insulation value is R-25 to R-30 which will translate into 4 to 6 inches of good quality foam ( or 1 to 2 inches if Vacuum Panels are used)

Freezer Star Rating

European Manufacturers use a 1 to 4 star system to grade freezers. This simple system is very useful in comparing freezer performance

**** ( Below 0°F) Will Freeze fresh food and keep up to 12 months.

*** ( 0°F) Will keep frozen products for up to 3 months.

** ( 10°F) Will store frozen food for 1 month.

* ( 22°F) Pre-frozen food can be kept for approx. 1 week.

It is an inescapable fact that it takes a dramatic increase in power to maintain a four star freezer. If one or two stars will suffice then there are big energy savings.

The standard refrigeration systems with "O" shaped and bin evaporators and the +12°F Holding plates will maintain small freezer sections of * (or ** in optimum designs). For higher *** or even **** use one of the recommended systems below.

Great Water has assembled the following systems that will satisfy many situations. The Frigoboat system allows for many more combinations and we will be happy to quote a special design for your requirements.
