Danfoss BD50F Air Condenser Air Flow Direction??

[Colin Stone]

The fan on the air condenser sucks the air through the condenser coils and fins. I would have thought it would be slightly more effective to blow the air through??
The air stream would then pass across the compressor.

Depends on your configuration, but on mine if the fan was reversed it would draw air across the hot compressor into the radiator and reduce the cooling effect required for condensation of the refrigerant, its prime function.

Mine is actually pulling air from the region of the compressor. In pic air is moving left to right from the compressor region.
If I turn the fan round, and blow, then the air leaving the condenser is still cooler than the top of the compressor.
Perhaps stick on some heatsinks on top of the compressor.

It can work either way. What is important is that you have enough air flow. I personally have our Seafrost units with the initial fan blowing air into the compressor area and two fans exhausting it by sucking air across the condenser.
When adding more fans be sure not to exceed the 1A limit or alternatively power them from an external source.

Thanks. I have a keel cooler as well. The air condenser is for when the boat is out of the water, as at present for 2 weeks.
So, is the fan better performing whether it sucks or blows?

iam so lucky You paid €73,89 EUR to Koberger GmbH
and recive brand new Dometic ColdMachine CU 84 - Cooling unit for max. 250 l


first almost free 20 inverter i have stock to last me lifetime free. now 73 € with shiping(25E only shiping) is steeling. but seller company save on cheap indian IT staff.

Wrong size. And probably a scam!!

i also think scam, pay by pay pal. i be little worry becouse DHL say pacage 1 kg. but i receive what i pay .but now no more mistake on web shop.

you also must understand european on line shop.
shop owner and office is in Berlin. warehouse is around EU usually poland,est germany,spain,slovakia.

worker in warehouse is nepal,imigrant usually with hard problem reading,writing IT sector is in bangladesh, database worker sri lanka,bookeping in india.
what you think is possible make mistake

Also i dont need this now, i pack again and store on attic.

A reply from Penguin UK on the fan mechanics:
"Frigoboat always blow out and Vitrifrigo suck in."
Ss I'll try the other way round.

Normal design is to pull through a coil. It is more efficient to pull air rather than push, which tends to build static pressure rather than move volume. Open area cooling fans such as directed over compressors are intended to increase heat transfer and depend on a sufficient volume of air being exchanged through intake and discharge grilles for proper system performance.
