It's a warm day

Postby MickinOz » Sun Jan 24, 2021 12:06 am

It's 44.5C/112F here today, and drier than a dead dingo's donger.
:sweaty:
Forecast for tomorrow is fore some relief. An almost cool 36C/97F
With rain - a flood warning for my area even. :?

As I set looking out the window and watch ice pellets bounce off of the top pane of the garden window. Enjoying the warmth inside while looking at the outside thermometer stuck at 22 degrees F and listening to the wind howl a bit !

COME ON SPRING !
Growing older but not up !

Crikey! I hope you had a few coldies on hand. Not a day for the fridge to cark it.

I did have coldies available.
My air conditioners might have struggled, but we are never short of refrigeration. Nor a generator to run it all if we lose power.
Most relevant would be the little 49L Samsung bar fridge one of my sons left in my shed for want of somewhere else to store it.
At Christmas I cleaned it and set it at just above beer freezing temperature for the Christmas Lunch drinks.
Haven't turned it off since.
It coped admirably yesterday, especially since it was sitting on the pizza prep/teardrop trailer manufacturing table outside.

Actually, it is a very nicely shaped fridge. I did toy with the idea of fitting a small inverter to the TD and putting the fridge in there.
If I took out the fridge slide it'd use the space perfectly.
It draws 80W the sticker says. About 7.5 amps allowing for inverter inefficiencies.
I guess a 300W inverter might be enough for starting surges.

I yet may. Need to see what the system performs like with the big solar panel fitted.
And, being a domestic fridge it might not take to being shaken by movement too well.
