IF you force the air thru those fins TOO FAST, they will not remove the heat. So, maybe you have to fast air flow. Doug
Umm, never heard that one before….
Every other finned cooler (lawnmowers, motorcycles, electronics etc) cools better with faster air, Im not disagreeing, I just saying more airflow will cool the fins faster…
What can happen with wrong fan placement is that the air gets turbulent and does not do a good job flowing through the fins.
Odd that your fridge does this. I am not an expert on where the AC heating element is in relation to the flame.
Most common is when fridges are run out of level they quit working slowly. What happens is the chemicals get trapped in the coils and stuff burns and cakes up like concrete down at the burner bulb. I am wondering if you have some cooked stuff above the flame, but wherever the AC element is maybe not as much cooked stuff, thus is able to get the heat into the system better.
The temp solution is to remove fridge, turn upside down so the burnt stuff moves out of the way so the heat can do its job. This solution does not last forever, but buys you time.
If you have a decent size flame then it should be cooling better just 55. It should be a little bigger than a candle flame at least.
I have hears sounds from the fridge, but only at night when it is dead quiet. A roar is common from a boiler, but not a fridge, but the fridge sound is amplified through the chimney - its a roar sound, but not a loud one by any means.
Fas are good, but I dont think they address your situation given it works so well on AC.
If the fridge side is in direct sunlight then it will be hard to cool it. Eliminate this as a variable from AC to propane.
