How to start up the propane refrigerator on a trailer.






OK all. This is a very very simple thing to do. Since I'm new to camping and travel trailers. I had the question stuck in my head for at least 6 months. How do we start up or light up the propane powered fridge? Walking outside the trailer. Cant find anything to light the pilot??? I DONT KNOW! Im NEW at this. LOOKING all over the net. CANT FIND ANY INFO ANYWHERE. DAMN! So it UP TO ME. To figure out how to get the propane refrigerator started?? I found its VERY EASY. Literally just turn on the propane tank. Let the gas flow for a minute. Perhaps light up the stove, to help the gas flow. Then just simply turn on the power of the fridge. Set it to gas. The fridge will turn on ONLY if there is enough battery power from the deep cycle battery next to the propane tanks. In my case these batteries (which are basically car batteries), are behind the propane tanks. If you dont have battery power, then you need to plug in the entire trailer via the cord on outside of trailer to a house outlet. Or the generator if you have one. But be sure to set the refrigerator to gas if you are just testing the propane method of powering the fridge.









Low cost post-harvest technologies for rural communities A native farmer named Gilberto Tethere in Cabo Delgado Province invented the Zero Emission Fridge for Rural Africa (ZEFRA) by reconstructing a metal silo using only locally available low-cost materials and applying traditional construction techniques. The basic design of the ZEFRA is a weaved bamboo structure, meticulously covered with clay on both sides. The shape is cylindrical and the two openings (for filling and emptying) are closed with tightly fitting clay-covered hatches. It stands on a base that incorporates vermin traps to protect the grain from rats and mice, and under a simple shelter to maintain cool, dry and even conditions. The clay carcass of the silo seals the seeds in an almost hermetic chamber and improves the effect of the organic, herbal repellents (produced from ashes, eucalyptus tree and other local plants, and used to inhibit insects such as the granary weevil (Sitophilus granaries L)).
