Refrigerator fans

[Gregory OConnor]

'Out the access panel' is reverse the design convection path.
sucking air out of the compartment as you do with the fan blowing
out seems safer as it wont +pressurize the compartment and blow air
thru leaks that may put hot air and propane into the bus interior.
I dont know if a big airmovement is the key. my fan blows low cfm .
I think the down fall is stale air. If you look at the model on how
the amonia system works, I think gradual cooling is part of
einsteins process. the amonia must process up the coil because the
fridge cooling is later in the cycle.
You may note that access pannels seem to open below the floor of the
propane appliance. I just wonder if that is by design to keep
leaking heavy gas from being trapped in the compartment.
modifications may want to maintain the open container design.
