RM53xx Technical description

6 Technical description

6.1 Description

The refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator. The refrigerator is designed to operate

with different types of power and can be run on an AC power supply, a DC power

supply or with butane/propane gas. For DC operation, the vehicle battery or a solar

system built on the vehicle can be used. For AC and gas operation, the thermostatic

control ensures that the refrigerator temperature is kept constant and as little power

as possible is consumed.

The refrigerator has a locking mechanism to protect it during transport.

The refrigerator has a defrost water drain. The drain opening is located on the rear

panel of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is equipped with an automatic pilot light which automatically

interrupts the gas supply after approx. 30 seconds if the flame goes out.

The RM5385 refrigerator has an automatic operating mode which selects the most

economical power mode connected.
