Boat Refrigeration Book

There are more refrigeration systems on boats than ever before and for many owners they have become an expensive necessity. The tremendous growth in the boat refrigeration industry plus the new EPA mandated changes have boat-owners as well as service personnel confused when problems arise with the systems. This confusion has resulted in catastrophic system failures and outrageous repair costs. Service personnel as well as boat owners need up-to-date practical information but most of the time they must rely on general knowledge or information copied from engineering handbooks. Generic engineering data doesn’t make allowances for all the variances that are encountered in a marine environment.
