Inverter DC/AC Victron 12/800 installed |

Power supply of fridge modified |
The fridge has a built in guard which switches it off, as soon as voltage is below 11.5V. But on startup voltage drops excessively due to small wire diameter. Hence I connected the fridge engine using 8mm2 wire directly to the batteries (with 10A fuse in between). |

Nanni Heat Exchanger serviced |
After 5 years the heat exchanger was due for cleaning. I replaced the tube stack with a modified version with integrated screw, hence it can’t break and is easier to install. The spare tube stack is sent to Kiesow to perform the same modification. The alternator was cleaned, the fan belt and the anode replaced. Also the ATF in the gear box was replaced. |

Lugger Heat Exchanger serviced |
Also on the new generator I considered the heat exchanger was due for inspection. I cleaned the tube stack and the exhaust elbow. A small sea water leak on the exhaust elbow was identified and fixed. |
