New Vitrifrigo 14 Litre Top Opening 12 Volt Fridge

By

Vitrifrigo will be launching their new 14 litre top opening 12 volt fridge at the NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show from 16th 21st October. The C14 is just 225mm wide making it ideal for small campervan and motorhome conversions, fitting where space is a premium or where kitchen work tops are narrow.

Compact Dimensions for a Top Opening 12 Volt Fridge

With a width of just 330mm and a depth of just 225mm the Vitrifrigo C14 is the smallest ‘built-in’ top opening 12 volt fridge on the market.  The compact dimensions means you can build a fridge into a space that no other 12 volt fridge will fit.  Either providing the option to fit a fridge to a small conversion, or allowing you to maximise the space for a bigger bed or other important components, without sacrificing the benefits of having a proper fridge. As a top opening 12 volt fridge will also provide far easier access, especially in a smaller campervan conversion where the bed can often obstruct a front opening fridge door.

Top Opening 12 Volt Fridge Dimensions14 Litre Top Opening 12 Volt Fridge

The fridge is supplied with the Danfoss BD35 compressor attached with 1.2m of refrigerant pipe to allow you to remote mount the compressor in a location that suits your design. The thermostat is also designed to be fitted externally to the box so that you maximise the full volume inside the cabinet.  The standard lid is supplied with hinges which can be removed if the lid is to be mounted directly onto the work top for a different hinge or lift out arrangement.

Alternative Top Opening 12 Volt Fridge

The C14 is designed as a very specialist top opening 12 volt fridge and this does reduce the volume of the fridge.  If you have more space available you may be better off looking at Vitrifrigo’s larger alternatives – C40L and C37L  For full details on the range of top opening fridges and freezers follow the link below to Penguin’s web shop:

Motohome Monthly’s Solar Powered Fridge Test

By

If you did not manage to see the Motorhome Monthly article on specifying and running a solar powered fridge featured in their February issue it is now available for you to down load from our website.

Vitrifrigo Solar Powered Fridge

The article was produced in association with Penguin Refrigeration, who supplied the 62 litre Vitrifrigo fridge and Actionvan who provided their rental Campervan with 55W Solaris Solar panel already fitted to the roof.  The article runs guides you through the best way to specify and install a solar powered fridge, to ensure maximum efficiency and that everything is sized correctly.  Over the period of the test the fridge ran constantly powered soley from the 55 Watt solar panel fitted to the roof of the motorhome.

The System in Practice

The installation was completed in May 2011 and initially the weather was hot and sunny with average temperatures during the day well above 25 degrees C. However, towards the end of the test, the weather deteriorated with more cloud cover and several exceptionally humid overcast days. The solar powered ridge was used on a daily basis, with the thermostat set midway giving a constant measured temperature of 6 degrees C inside. Over the weekends there was also occasional use of the stereo and the LED lighting. Over the 36-day test the only source of charge for the battery was from the 55W solar panel, which comfortably kept the battery condition well above its minimum (50 per cent), putting in more charge than the average daily discharge of 14.9 amp hr.

Did the Solar Powered Fridge Work?

Undoubtedly yes! This truly was a solar powered fridge. The test proved that a correctly installed and ventilated DC compressor fridge can run constantly for well in excess of a month from a battery powered solely from a solar panel. To achieve this required a quality fridge cabinet, with single evaporator and an efficient condenser, combined with a deep-cycle AGM battery and a rigid solar panel.
