Chest freezer insulation
I recently bought a used chest freezer. It is larger than we expected (we wanted 110 liters, turned out to be 168 l), so I'll add extra insulation to reduce the extra load. According to the label, the compressor needs 70W, and the unit should use 0.52 kWh/day. Here is the plan to reduce that:
I also had a plan to add a second thermostat for refrigerator temperatures, with a switch allowing me to choose between fridge and freezer mode. This would be for example during holidays, when we have lots of food and barely enough space in our primary fridge. But I'll have to see if this is at all needed.
