Subject:      Danfoss VS Sawafuji Compressor. Which is Electrically More
              Efficient?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.

On the internet, there appears to be lots of hype, opinion and
conjecture about the Sawafuji or Danfoss compressor fridges, and the
amount of amps each consumes.  i.e. Engel VS Waeco. I know fridge
power consumption has been discussed here before but it seems to me
that there's too many variables. Looking at this from another POV....

If a Sawafuji and Danfoss powered fridge were wired to be manually
switched on/off at 15 minute intervals, (bypass thermostat) and each
had the same test conditions, which fridge would consume less amps in
an hour?

It seems that in terms of current draw to "power up" either of these
compressors, the Sawafuji may have the advantage. Is that advantage
significant enough to make it the winner?

Neil.
