Hi:
I have an issue with my Grunnert water cooled refrigeration unit that I have not been able to solve and I am hoping the community might have some suggestions.
Had my refrigeration guy come out and evacuate my unit and recharge it. Unit has been running for 5 days straight. It shut off last night and the refrigeration temp went up to 50 degrees. Then it started again and is starting to get cold. It seems as if the compressor has a mind of it's own and I can't control a temperature level. Also, I am not used to having a water cooled unit, usually it has been air cooled, but are the water cooled units supposed to be pumping water all the time. I have had several of my fellow boaters come up to me and ask me if my boat is sinking because it looks as if a bilge pump is one, however it really is my water pump to my compressor unit. I have a Danfoss compressor that looks in great shape, however, I do have one thermostat unit in the freezer that is suspect. How do I determine whether my problem is a thermostat and not something greater? This is on a 380 Hunter with a freezer and a spillover system on the other box. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
