Twenty two members of the 2014 Quartzsite Rally attended a 2 hour seminar this afternoon given by Paul Unmack. Paul has a background in foreign automotive repairs and holds a degree in mechanical engineering. His lifelong camping experiences have taken him into the wild back country where a cold beer is always wanted and welcome!
His purpose was to educate us on the mechanics of an absorption refrigerator and how the cooling works. I learned more than I ever thought I wanted to know about how an RV refrigerator cools! His hands on props ( a percolator coffee pot) helped me understand. He gave examples of how being off level can effect the cooling of an RV refrigerator.
He has recently filed a patent for a device that offers monitoring of the boiler temperature. If/when the boiler temperature is exceeded by certain parameters, the controller unit will shut down the refrigerator avoiding the overheating wear and tear on refrigerator and eliminating the possibility of damage.
He uses a red white and blue logo. He commented many times on the ethics of business and wanting to achieve the goal of offering customer service, training and problem solving techniques for owners. The control device he offers is a preventative maintenance item. I am not an engineer but I enjoyed his presentation and I learned many many things.
His business is called ARP . Absorption Refrigeration Protection Control . His web site is

He seems very knowledgable and I thank him for his time and information.
