Adler Barbour Power Plate

Unfamiliar with the term power plate. Our AB system has three components, compressor, condenser and evaporator. The evaporator plate goes inside the freezer/fridge, the other two devices outside. If it were me, I would defer to a marine refrigeration guy to determine whether it has any salvage value. Several variables come into play when dealing with what you have. Does it leak, what system was it working with, what refrigerant was used, etc.?
The Power Plate is the (replaces) evaporator.. The gurgling is a solution inside that freezes when the compressor is running and slowly thaws when it is not running. Kinda like the little blue containers that ya freeze and use in an ice chest, it "stores" cold for a bit compared to the normal evapporator.. Kinda like a holding plate but without as much capacity.. some of the reviews are pretty unflattering.. but ya never know how folks installed them or charged the system or how much insulation they had..
