BG 2000 OPERATION

The SEA FROST BG 2000 system is an electrically driven refrigeration plant. Operation of the compressor will freeze the contents of the holdover devices in the boat's icebox providing refrigeration by cold holdover for an extended period after the compressor has been turned off. A boat without continuous power can benefit from this by operating the SEA FROST BG 2000 system when the generator plant is operated. Operation time will vary with each boat.

A little time-spent learning about your system and some experimentation will be best. Maximum holdover will be reached when the cabinet is at the desired temperature and the holdover plates are frozen. Running times beyond this have no advantage other than to delay warming the plates.

The system is water-cooled. Water should begin to flow from the discharge at the same time the unit starts. Be sure the water is flowing. If no water flows, stop the system and inspect the water pump and strainer for obstructions. (See "Troubleshooting" and "Maintenance" sections.)

After starting a warm system check the plates for a temperature drop. If a temperature drop is not indicated, stop the unit and read; "Checking The Charge", and; "Reading The Sight Glass".

CONTROLS

The BG 2000 thermostat control is labeled with "off", one, two, and three snowflakes. When the boat’s breaker panel is switched on and AC power is available, turning the knob from "off" to one snowflake will start the compressor. Turning the knob to three snowflakes will increase the time the compressor operates, making the temperature cooler. Experiment with the control position to obtain the best setting.
