Iirc the bd35 can handle upto 8 cubic feet driven at max rpm of 3500. I suspect they use a bd50 driven slower in that range
Yes, the limit of BD35 is 8 cf or even less. I recall discussion at Kollmann's with conclusion that BD35 can't cool the box larger than 6 cf, and this is cooling, not freezing. For freezing a box larger than 6 cf BD50 is needed. 7cf units from Novakool already have BD50, and it's not a standalone freezer but a combo 6.2cf fridge with 0.8cf freezer.
Well, BD50 at 100% cycle is still 120 AH a day. Not 150 or 250.
