Artic and Antractic Models
AC & DC Voltages

(Grunert)

Click here to view Installation Guide



PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Polar Mate from Grunert, provides 12 or 24 VDC, or 115 VAC marine refrigeration in a compact system. Components are specifically designed to fit in restricted area aboard any vessel. Two models feature air or air/water cooled condensers for maximum versatility. Air cooled units are used when thru-hull fittings are not desired or when the vessel is hauled. Air/Water cooled units also offer water cooling for inscreased efficiencies and redundant flexibility. Evaporator assemblies are available in both small and large capacities with custom configurations upon request.

The Polar Mate is ideal for small boxes or day sailing applications. For design assistance, contact your local Dealer or the Cutomer Support Team at Taylor Made Environmental.

Polar Mate condensing units can be installed in any convenient location and are practically unaffected by vibration or moisture. All units meet or exceed applicable ABYC and U.S. Coast Guard regulations, CE Directives, and general AIr Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry (ARI) standards.

FEATURES
Polar Mate

  • Each unit is equipped with LeakView, an ultraviolet dye system which enables small leaks to be located visually with a UV light.
  • New, larger capacity Danfoss® compressor.(DC Only)
  • Buitl-in fuse for component protection.(DC Only)
  • Smaller, easier to use quick connects.
  • Receiver for installation and run reliability.
Complete Kit
  • Unit can be shelf mounted or bulkhead mounted with additional bulkhead mount kit.
  • Two sizes of evaporators can be configured for custom applications.
  • Horizontal evaporators are supplied with a door assembly and horizontal ice cube trays.
  • Vertical evaporators are supplied with extruded aluminium vertical ice cube trays.
  • 15' refrigeration line set with "quick connect" fittings provided with each system.
High Quality Components
  • Hermetically sealed compressor for quiet, efficient operation.
  • Water cooled condenser are constructed of spiral fluted cupronickel encased in a copper shell providing maximum heat transfer and high corrosion resistance to seawater flow.
Environmental Considerations
  • All units have quick connect fittings and are pre-charged with refrigerant for ease of installtion.
  • Utilizes "ozone friendly" refrigerant R-134A.
Quality Assurance
  • Each unit is assembled with a charge of nitrogen to ensure that scale does not form during soldering.
  • Charge Guard® protection provides sealed access ports to ensure system integrity during handling and installation.

  1. Voltage range is : 12V = 10.4 - 17.0 & 24V = 22.8 - 31.5. Does not apply to 115 VAC model.
  2. Air cooled capacities at 20 °F (-6.7 °C) evaporator temperature and 120 °F(48.8 °C) condensing temperature. Water cooled capacities at 20 °F (-6.7 °) evaporator temperature 100 °F (37.8 °C) condensing temperature.
  3. Air cooled capacities at 0 °F (-17.8 °C) evaporator temperature, 120 °F(48.9 °C) condensing temperature. Water cooled capacities at 0 °F (-17.8 °C) evaporator temperature, 100 °F (37.8 °C) condensing temperature.
  4. Power to the fan is regulated to 12V regardless of 12V or 24V power input, except for 115 VAC model.
  5. For wire size, ampacity, etc., refer to ABYC Standards, Section E8 & E9.
