We liveaboard a 90' Hunter 42 Passage with a Adler Barbour CU100 Cold Machine for the refrigerator, it has been working great for the last 3 years, but recently it decided to quit cooling. I have used the information on Kollmann's web page to first do non destructive testing and then bought gauges and it seems I have a restriction in the evaporator. I then bought a vacuum pump and evacuated the system and tried to recharge it but I end up with a vacuum on the low side no matter what I do.
Since it seems I have to replace the evaporator, has anyone increased the evaporator size when doing this? Would this improve cooling? More importantly would this possibly reduce the compressor cycles per day?
Thanks in Advance!
