CONDENSING UNIT LOCATION AND MOUNTING

Air Cooled

The design of the Bait Freezer (BF) allows the air-cooled condensing unit to be placed in an enclosed space such as a locker or engine room.

Mount the unit level with the compressor at the bottom. The unit may be bulkhead or platform mounted. Rubber Wellnut inserts are installed on the bottom and back of the condensing unit to attach to brackets or shelving. The Wellnut require ¼-20 machine screws.

Air and Water Cooled

The condensing unit should be mounted with the compressor at the bottom parallel to the boat’s water line at rest. Air is drawn through the unit and discharges at the fan screen on the upper left side. Cooling water from an air conditioning system manifold or separate pump may be connected to the water fittings on the left side.

Water-cooling is standard on BF2 and BF3 models. Water from an air conditioning pump manifold can be plumbed into the BF condensing unit and triggered by the 220- volt supply labeled "pump" or a dedicated pump can be installed. A flow of two to three GPM is sufficient. (Pump draw not to exceed 1.2 amps at 220-volts.) Use of water- cooling is not mandatory; the unit will operate with air-cooling only. If the condensing unit is to be mounted in a confined area with little ventilation or a very hot engine room the water-cooling should be connected.

Installation Requirements

Never block the inlet nor outlet. Service access and installation requires that the front and left end (inlet/outlet side) be exposed. The duct hose will require 4" of clearance past the end of the unit.

Provide for driest, coolest air for intake. Use standard 4" duct hose to draw air in from the cabin area to insure the coolest, driest air supply. Intake ducting from the exterior of the boat may cause damp salt air to be drawn in which will reduce unit life. For intake or exhaust through a finished panel, order a flange grill.

Discharge does not need ducting if a vent in the area allows warm air to escape. An un-ducted unit in a poorly ventilated small space will heat the air, lowering the capacity of the unit and possibly causing damage by overheating the compressor.

Total combined air duct length for intake and discharge should not exceed six feet.

Bait Freezer specifications

The Sea Frost Bait Freezer is a game changer for anglers looking to preserve bait with optimal efficiency and performance. Engineered specifically for marine environments, this bait freezer offers innovative technology and superior features that ensure your bait remains fresh and effective for extended periods.

One of the standout features of the Sea Frost Bait Freezer is its robust refrigeration system, designed to quickly lower temperatures to the required levels, ensuring that bait is frozen swiftly to lock in freshness. This rapid freezing process helps to maintain the integrity of the bait, preventing cell damage that can occur in conventional freezers.

The freezer is equipped with advanced insulation technology, which minimizes heat transfer and significantly enhances energy efficiency. This means anglers can depend on a consistent, reliable temperature for their bait, even in warmer climates or during extended boating trips. The high-density foam insulation used in the construction helps retain cold air, allowing the Sea Frost Bait Freezer to operate efficiently without excessive energy consumption.

For convenience, the Sea Frost Bait Freezer features easy-to-use digital controls, which allow users to monitor and adjust temperatures with precision. The digital display offers real-time temperature readings, crucial for ensuring bait is stored under optimal conditions. Additionally, a built-in alarm system notifies users of any temperature fluctuations, safeguarding the quality of the bait at all times.

The design of the Sea Frost Bait Freezer emphasizes portability and ease of use. With durable handles and a lightweight structure, it can be easily transported on boats or to fishing spots. Its waterproof exterior is resistant to harsh marine conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Moreover, the freezer comes with various storage options, including removable bins and compartments, allowing for customizable organization of different types of bait. This versatility enables anglers to maximize their storage capacity while keeping their bait easily accessible.

In conclusion, the Sea Frost Bait Freezer is the ideal solution for serious anglers who prioritize the quality and preservation of their bait. With its advanced freezing technology, energy-efficient design, user-friendly controls, and sturdy construction, this bait freezer stands out as an essential piece of equipment for successful fishing trips.
