WARRANTY
The warranty card must be filled in by your supplier, stamped and signed by an Frigoboat authorized service station (see point E). You
will need to show the warranty card when you want the unit under warranty to be repaired. The authorized service station will take a
note of what has been done or of what was suggested on the back of the warranty card. You better keep the card after the warranty has
expired: it will help service to know more about your unit.
*** FRIGOBOAT WARRANTY ***
A) WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants that the products listed in the warranty card are not defective from material and/or workmanship with the
limitations specified in the following points. The warranty is valid in the same country where the unit has been purchased.
B) HOW TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ABROAD
The Frigoboat warranty can be extended to all the countries where a "FRIGOBOAT" distributor is established having the unit checked
by an authorized Frigoboat service dealer. The first check is free in the same country where the unit has been purchased, in the town
where the service is located and during normal working time. The intervention could be charged if the first check is done abroad. The
first check must be noted on the alleged warranty card. The lack of this check is not voiding the warranty but would limit the warranty if
the failure or problem arose because of no check done. This check must be done within 60 (sixty) days from the delivery date to the
end user. Any updating of the unit happened between the date of purchase and the date of the first check can be charged. In case of
need, please apply to the national importer or to the nearest service dealer.
C) PRODUCTION CHANGES
The manufacturer will have the right to change his products without notice and without being obliged to up-date the products already
sold and/or manufactured.
D) WARRANTY PERIOD
The warranty starts from the delivery date to the first owner and/or user. The delivery date has to be registered on the warranty card,
which has to be completely filled. The warranty term is the minimum term prescribed by the law, if a specific law exists. Where no law
on the matter was issued, or the term is a shorter one, the term is of 12 (twelve) months. All the replaced and/or repaired parts will
enjoy of the residual warranty term.
E) FIRST CHECK OF THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATION
All the products, before being delivered are carefully checked to make sure they meet the Frigoboat specifications and quality
standards. The manufacturer is not installing Frigoboat products by herself. Therefore the warranty will be valid only if the Frigoboat
unit is inspected and tested by an authorized service station within 60 (sixty) days from the delivery of the unit to the owner and/or user.
F) WHAT IS THE WARRANTY COVERING
The warranty covers the cost of the defective parts or the cost for repairing them or the cost of interchangeable parts for replacement,
whatever more convenient. A Frigoboat product or one component part is considered defective, and therefore included in our warranty,
when it had a congenital fault existing when delivered. All the repairs under warranty when warranty must be carried out by an
authorized service station during normal working hours. Time allowance tables are calculated on an average intervention on a unit
installed following our specifications and leaving access for interventions. The time in excess of given time is at customer charge.
G) WHAT DOES'NT THE WARRANTY COVER
The warranty does’nt cover the products damaged because of transportation, installation or repairs or misusage, negligence, normal
wear, use of not original spare parts or any other improper use or accident and/or negligence following the instruction of the use and
maintenance manual or the installation instructions. The warranty is not valid also if the end user is using the product in a irresponsible
way or if changes were made which the manufacturer believes may have caused or increased the damage or if safety and or regulating
devices were differently adjusted and/or replaced or if the product was used infringing the law and/or for an use which wasn’t foreseen.
The warranty is not covering other casual or consequential or connected expenses, as for an example, custom, freight and traveling
expenses, unusual expenses due to difficulties reaching the products installed, lack of use, lack of profit, lack of time or property,
injuries or damages to other parts of products different from the products described in the warranty card. The manufacturer is not
authorizing any third party to assume on her behalf other risks related to the sales of his products than those here expressly indicated.
H) REPORT OF THE FAULT
The owner of the unit has to report the fault of the unit to an authorized service station or to the dealer or to the Veco agent. The fault
must be reported as soon as possible; at any rate not later the 14 (fourteen) days since the user has found the unit being defective.
The report should include an idea of what is felt wrong. The owner should register the date of the claim.
I) RUNNING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before you run the unit for the first time please make the checking suggested by the manual at Chapter "Checking and testing
procedures".

Frigomatic BD35-BD50 Manual v1 PAGE 4
CHAPTER 2
FRIGOMATIC BD35 or BD50 AIR COOLED
12/24V DC compressor with high efficiency aluminium finned condenser with integral
cooling fan.
Pre-charged with R134a refrigerant with resealing male and female quick couplings to
connect to the evaporator.
Supplied as standard with both high and low pressure service valves.
2.1 - POSITION
When deciding on the location of the compressor please consider the following:
A.- The compressor must be mounted horizontally on its base.
Fix with the pre-drilled holes in the stainless steel base.
Pay attention to leave enough space for the evaporator and keel cooler connections and
that there is good access to the electrical connections
It can be safely angled up to 30 degrees so no problem for sailing boats
Note: Bulkhead mounting bracket also available – contact [email protected] for
details
B.- The length of the connecting pipe is 2.8mt (8ft) without using the optional extension
pipes (available from 1m to 6m see chap. 11.2).
C.- The unit must be installed with the finned condenser at least 50mm from any wall or
bulkhead.
The condenser requires a minimum ventilation of 120mm x 120mm in and out of the area
where the compressor is located – see below.
Frigomatic BD35-BD50 Manual v1 PAGE 5
The vent openings should be positioned in such a way that immediate recirculation of
heated air does not occur. Recirculation of heated air causes it to become progressively
warmer reducing the condenser capacity, lowering the efficiency of the refrigeration plant,
and resulting in an increased power consumption and/or loss of cooling capacity.
Do not install the unit free standing in a small compartment and take care that where the
discharge air enters a small compartment that it cannot immediately reticulate back
through an outlet in the same bulkhead. Avoid also using air which is preheated as a result
of being drawn from, for instance, the engine compartment.
2.2 - GRILL
If the hole and therefore the finned condenser is in a position exposed to physical damage
it should be protected by a grill having at least the same cross-section of the condenser.
We recommend to use our grill E250115 which allows a sufficient air flow and a good
protection to the unit.
Frigomatic BD35-BD50 Manual v1 PAGE 6
CHAPTER 3
FRIGOMATIC BD35 or BD50 KEEL COOLED
12/24V DC compressor
Pre-charged with R134a refrigerant with resealing male and female quick couplings to
connect to the keel cooler condenser and aluminium evaporator.
Supplied as standard with both high and low pressure service valves.
3.1 - POSITION
When deciding on the location of the compressor please consider the following:
A.- The compressor can be located anywhere (within 1.5m of the keel cooler). It doesn't
need air circulation but only accessibility for maintenance.
B.- The compressor must be mounted horizontally on its base.
Fix with the pre-drilled holes in the stainless steel base.
Pay attention to leave enough space for the evaporator and keel cooler connections and
that there is good access to the electrical connections
It can be safely angled up to 30 degrees so no problem for sailing boats
Note: Bulkhead mounting bracket also available – contact [email protected] for
details
C - The length of the keel cooler connecting pipes is 1.5m (3ft) and cannot be extended
D - The length of the connecting pipe is 2.8mt (8ft) without using the optional extension
pipes (available from 1m to 6m see chap. 11.2).
3.2 - KEEL COOLER SEA WATER HEAT EXCHANGER
The keel cooler is a Cupro nickel heat exchanger moulded within a sintered bronze
casting.
Supplied with 15m copper pipes pre-charged with R134a refrigerant with re-sealing male
and female quick couplings to connect to the compressor and evaporator.
Available with or without protective anodes.
It can also be used as a ground plate for electronic instruments.
E50361 is the standard keel cooler suitable for hulls up to 40mm thickness
E50362 is the long stud keel cooler suitable for hulls up to 100mm thickness
Recommended Fitting Instructions
Frigomatic BD35-BD50 Manual v1 PAGE 7
1. Decide where the keel cooler is going to be positioned (must be within 1.5m of the
compressor).
2. Drill a pilot hole where the keel cooler is to be located – from the inside out to avoid
hitting any stringers etc.
3. For boats with double skins, if when drilling, there is a clear gap between the inner
moulding and the hull, use a 4″ hole saw to cut away a large enough section of the inner
moulding to fit the keel cooler directly to the outer laminate. If there is no gap between the
inner moulding and the hull and the two are completely bonded together drill straight
through both laminates with a 38mm hole saw.
4. Scrape away any existing antifouling so you are back to the bare hull to bond to.
Then drill an over sized hole (40mm) so the keel cooler will easily slide up through. (it is a
good idea to do a dummy run on a piece of wood to confirm).
5. Once you have done your test, drill the hole in the hull, fit the O ring and insert the keel
cooler from the outside.
6. To hold it in place wind the nut on a couple of turns of the thread, so the washer holds it
hanging down from the hull.
7. Mask the keel cooler so just the surface to be bonded to the hull is exposed.
8. Pull the O ring up and fill the recess with your waterproof adhesive
9. Then drop the O ring onto the adhesive and add more adhesive on top of the O ring and
the rest of the top surface of the keel cooler.
10. Then with someone on the outside to hold the keel cooler in the correct orientation,
push the keel cooler up flush to the hull and tighten the nut inside.
11. Once in place just a ‘good nip’ with the spanner will hold it all in place until the
adhesive has gone off and the keel cooler will then be bonded in place.
Frigomatic BD35-BD50 Manual v1 PAGE 8
GROUNDING AND CLEANING THE KEEL COOLER:
Provision is provided for a grounding/bonding wire to be attached. It is very important that
the Keel Cooler is electrically connected to the battery negative, with no switch in the
circuit between the Keel Cooler connection and the battery negative.
If the Keel Cooler being installed is the type without zincs, it must also be connected to the
vessel’s bonding system and a sacrificial zinc anode. This is an important safety
precaution and a connection must be made to the battery negative whether the keel cooler
has zincs or not.
The keel Cooler should not be painted and must be inspected periodically for corrosion.
Clean occasionally with a brush, never with a metal scraper.
For details on the recommended grounding please see the Frigoboat Correct
Bonding document

12/24V DC compressor
Cupro nickel sea water heat exchanger with built in over heat switch
Pre-charged with R134a refrigerant with resealing male and female quick couplings to
connect to the evaporator.
Supplied as standard with both high and low pressure service valves.
4.1 - POSITION
When deciding on the location of the compressor please consider the following:
A.- The compressor must be mounted horizontally on its base.
Fix with the pre-drilled holes in the stainless steel base.
Pay attention to leave enough space for the evaporator and sea water connections and
that there is good access to the electrical connections
It can be safely angled up to 30 degrees so no problem for sailing boats
Note: Bulkhead mounting bracket also available – contact [email protected] for
details
B.- The length of the connecting pipe is 2.8mt (8ft) without using the optional extension

4.2 - SEA WATER PUMP
The pump we supply is self-priming, but we recommend:
Installation
The pump is mounted as low in the boat as possible – ideally below the waterline.
Use wire reinforced hose
Ensure the pipe run from the intake and strainer to the pump is as direct as possible and
the pipe run from the pump to the condenser is as direct as possible
The outlet should be just above the waterline so the flow can be confirmed
Sea Water Strainer
You must have a good intake strainer (120 Mesh) to protect the pump, pipework and
condenser from sea water growth and organisms. Frigoboat part number A091508
contact [email protected] for details.
Water flow requirement is 4-5 litres per minute 9 (1 gal/min)
