Frigeration Air Conditioning Services
Frigoboat Refrigerators & Freezers Service Montenegro & Albania
Marine Project delivers expert Frigoboat marine refrigeration service across Montenegro and the Adriatic, directly resolving keel cooler efficiency drops, temperature rises in cold boxes, and digital thermostat faults at your berth or yard. Our specialized engineering team performs mobile dockside support for Frigoboat keel-cooled systems, forced-air units, and digital thermostat controllers, executing keel cooler external cleaning and internal scale removal, compressor performance testing, refrigerant charge verification, and electronic control recalibration using Frigoboat-specified tools and genuine parts, all on board without box disassembly or food spoilage.
We carry Frigoboat-specific components including thermostats, compressor relays, and evaporator fans, enabling most repairs to be completed within a single site visit while avoiding workshop transport and extended cooling downtime. This mobile approach eliminates unit removal and logistics costs, while our performance verification includes temperature pull-down tests, cyclic run-time analysis, and compressor amp draw checks to confirm factory-specified cooling capacity and energy efficiency. Each service concludes with a detailed refrigeration log, system pressure chart, and a preventive maintenance schedule for keel cooler cleaning and thermostat battery replacement. Schedule a Frigoboat system audit and our team will provide an on-site technician and fixed-price repair quote within 48 hours of onboard assessment.
Specialized Service Capabilities:
We deliver complete care for Frigoboat refrigeration systems across Montenegro’s marinas, covering routine preventative maintenance, refrigerant handling, and emergency compressor repair, with service costs up to 30% lower than at other major refit centres. Our skilled refrigeration experts service the entire Frigoboat range, specializing in DC units and Keel Cooler technology .
-
System Diagnostics & Performance Analysis: Electronic troubleshooting, thermostat calibrations, and speed-controller checks; we use multimeters to test power supplies at the controller terminals (not just the panel), as voltage drops below 10.5V (or 23V on 24V systems) will trigger the built-in low-voltage cut-off and stop the compressor . Older (pre-1995) four-pin controllers have a diagnostic LED that flashes at 11.5V and glows steadily at 10.5V, indicating the cut-off point .
-
Compressor & Drive Unit Servicing: Servicing Secop Danfoss compressors (BD35F/BD50F), electronic control boxes, and cooling fans; we distinguish between ASU/SEC and ITC-controlled systems to ensure correct controller replacement and compatibility, using genuine Frigoboat cooling units . We also test fan terminals on the control module to ensure adequate voltage is being supplied for proper cooling .
-
Refrigerant Handling & Precise Recharging: Vacuum evacuation to 500 microns, moisture purging, and precise refrigerant gas recharging (R134a) using the low-side Schrader valve; we add refrigerant slowly until the evaporator plate frosts over, avoiding overcharging (indicated by the suction tube frosting), and leak-test using electronic sniffers . Professional handling is essential, as Frigoboat systems use “cap” technology and do not rely on standard pressure gauges for charging .
-
Keel Cooler Heat Exchanger Service: Inspecting and descaling Frigoboat bronze sintered underwater Keel Cooler fittings; we clean growth with a stiff nylon brush or green scrubber (never a metal scraper, which can damage the sintered bronze coating) . We also verify the grounding/bonding wire is securely attached to battery negative to prevent galvanic corrosion . Anti-fouling paint can be applied in problematic areas .
-
Evaporator & Cold Plate Cleaning: Servicing stainless steel holding plates and aluminum roll-bond evaporators; we use non-abrasive cleaners and ensure all connections are free of refrigerant leaks, as low refrigerant is a common cause of plate not frosting . For systems with capillary tube blockages, we can diagnose and address the issue by heating the capillary tube and checking for pressure equalization .
