BD1.4F-VSD.3 · BD35F · BD50F · BD80F

Cooling in Maritime Appliances

The BD compressor series is specially designed for refrigeration in boat applications. A sturdy design enables it to resist vibrations, hard impacts, and heavy seas.

BD compressors cover a capacity range from 20 to 180 Watt. They are ideal for low and medium back pressure applications and refrigerator sizes up to 180 liters and freezers up to 90 liters.

The compressor's capacity can be adjusted manually. A special version of the electronic unit will adapt the capacity of the compressor automatically (AEO) to the actual load on the refrigeration system. The algorithm will adjust the speed of the compressor to achieve a running time of approximately 30 minutes. This is the most energy efficient way to operate the compressor.

The BD1.4F-VSD.3 and BD35F/BD50F (with electronic unit 101N0242) offer an ECO function which adapts the speed of the compressor so that it runs at an optimal level.

Furthermore, these functions protect the compressor from short cycling in low load situations and also reduce the number of starts and thus saving battery life. An optional LED (diode) will flash and the following faults will be indicated by a blinking light: low battery voltage, fan overload, minimum speed exceeded, thermal cut-out, motor start error.

The new BD1.4F-VSD.3 has additional features such as fan speed control, built in electronic thermostat, communication interface which makes programming the controller easy without requiring resistors or extra wiring.

The electronic unit provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) which will allow communication and navigation equipment to work unproblematically without any disturbance.

Features Benefits

Silent operation

No compressor noise at night when sleeping next to the refrigerator in the boat.

High efficiency. Low current consumption

Energy-saving. Operates on a smaller battery.

Variable speed/capacity

Energy savings. Adapts speed to cooling needs.

Direct 12 V / 24 V DC power supply

Same compressor can be used globally. One product covers the world.

Modbus communication connection

Customized settings and fast programming on the production line are possible.

Electronic thermostat

Cost savings. No extra thermostat needed. Fewer components and failure modes.

Alarm & event logs

Makes identifying errors fast and is easy to service. Lower service costs.

Fan speed control 40 – 100 %. Start / stop delays

Less noise during night. Fewer components, fewer costs, less wiring, fewer installation costs.

Advanced battery protection function

Safety. The battery will never be drained to a dangerously low level.

AC / DC module available as option

When staying in a port the refrigerator can be powered by shore power (100–240 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz).

Transport stable

Designed to resist conditions on the sea such as vibrations, shocks, and inclement weather. Design lifetime 10 years. Lower service costs.
