Also added baffle from outside wall to bottom of the fins and curved baffle on top of fins. Wire hanging down is thermal switch.
Middle row of vents lines up with fins. I covered bottom vent to force air to come through the fins. Also added small chain so when you remove vent it will hang without putting stress on the power connection. |
Pretty trick set up.
I guess alot of location depends on access as well. For a trailer with a roof vent here are my thoughts.
So for what its worth, in my scenario mounting it on the bottom side vent was useless, it just pushes air into the lower portion of the fridge but did not direct air up into the void to flow over the cooling fins. It would of been difficult to make anything to direct air up as all the coils and gas line was up against the fans if i put them there.
My TT has a vent straight up through the roof. So it made more sense to mount the fans there sucking air up. I covered each side of the vent to make sure all air was being pushed through fans. So when they suck they are sucking from the void only. I will be testing this in 2 weeks, but i am happy with my decisions.
