  • Australias first fridge.

    This cooler was one of Australias first cabinet coolers.

    Can be used with coal out of a fire , line the inner wall
    with coals , wet them down , and sit your cooler in the
    breeze.

      Camping coolers use the same method today, with a water absorbent material on the outside covered with perforated aluminum and plastic inside,

      Good for keeping your beer cool Bruce.

    Re: Strange drop in compressor flow

    What kind do compressors do you have? How much oil are they putting into the system?

    I would suggest do not pump down to 1 bar, just turn off, close compressor suction if you must.

    If you have compressor crankcase heater

    Re: Strange drop in compressor flow

    Since it only happens at start up, I would say it's a a plug or restriction in the liquid supply to the evaporator coils.

    as in oil has collected

    They are connected the way you've shown in your diagram. I've drawn it with bottom connections for connivence.
