Hey. Take a look at www.ezkold.com. They also use the BD50 compressor for many of their units. I bought one of their dual holding plate units (they also sell evaporative system similar to Adler Barbour) and split my 9 cu ft box into refrig and freezer compartments. Keeps fridge at 35-40, freezer at 18-20. Compressor on about 45 min, off for 1-1/2-2 hrs. Uses about 6 amps/hr or ~40 amps/24 hrs. My box needs more insulation which would cut down on run time or if I didn't have the freezer, would run much less.....
The support from company has been sterling (had some bugs early on but resolved well) and I would buy again.... Good luck. Capt.
