THIS COOLBOX USES THERMOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY

What is the difference between the cooling technologies?
ABSORPTION COOLING
Details of distinguishing features:

Gas-powered cooling independent of electricity
Three way cooling – Gas, 12 volts DC or 230 volts AC
Silent operation
Cooling performance depending on the ambient temperature

The Technical Bit
A concentrated ammonia solution is heated in a boiler and expelled as vapour. The pressurised ammonia gas is then liquefied in a condenser. Supplied with hydrogen, it evaporates and in the process extracts heat from the storage container. The ammonia gas then enters the absorber where it is reabsorbed in a weak solution of ammonia. Finally, the saturated solution flows back to the boiler where the whole cycle starts again.

THERMOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY
Details of distinguishing features:

12 / 24 / 230 Volt
Independent of inclination
Lightweight and low-cost
Cooling performance depending on the ambient temperature

The Technical Bit
The thermoelectric principle was discovered by J. C. A. Peltier, which is why the temperature generating parts of thermoelectric systems are referred to as Peltier elements. Thermoelectrics are based on the fact that cold or heat energy (depending on the polarity) is generated when a DC current is conducted between different types of metal. The heating or cooling capacity is further enhanced by heat exchangers and air fans. Ideal for low and medium cooling volumes.

COMPRESSOR TECHNOLOGY
Details of distinguishing features:

Excellent cooling performance even at extreme ambient temperatures
Refrigeration and deep-freezing
12 / 24 / 100 – 240 volts
Low power consumption – suitable for solar operation
Battery protection
Quiet operation with little vibration
Independent of inclination

The Technical Bit
Compressor units operate using a refrigerant that changes from liquid to gaseous state in the evaporator. The evaporation extracts heat from the interior of the cooling unit – the temperature drops. The compressor draws in the refrigerant, compresses it and passes it on to the condenser. Here, the absorbed heat is released to the atmosphere. The refrigerant liquefies again and flows to the evaporator, where the cycle begins again.

Happy With Purchase

I use this every day in hgv it works well keeping food and drinks cool it’s well made

Cool

by Sss (21 Jul 2018)

(4/5)

A very neat design and ideal for (say) smaller campervans.
On test (mains) the empty unit went from an ambient 20c to 5c in about 3.5hrs but quite quickly regained heat when switched off. However, when full of stuff at the same temp took around 4-5 hrs to reduce to 7c. Switched off overnight on the same test it went from 7c to 12c in 10hrs - a fairly good result. If the box is filled normally with already cold stuff then it should maintain temp pretty well.
Would give it 5 stars BUT for 2 design faults: 1 the temperature is not calibrated so you don't quite know what it's really doing unless you use a separate thermometer; 2 there is no low-voltage cut out, so it would be possible to flatten a van battery when not travelling.
Remains to be seen how it performs under real (holiday) conditions.

Had The Cool Box A Year Now

by William Hunter (04 May 2018)

Had the cool box a year now, keeps food cold no matter how warm the boat is. I use it on both 12/240v. Quiet running. Interesting heat feature to keep food warm too. Good product all round!

Great Little Fridge

by Robin Anderson (27 May 2017)

(5/5)

Great little fridge, it's big enough for me to pack 4 dinners, 4 lunches, fruit, to last me the whole week, I am a truck driver who is tramping all week, I put the fridge under the lower bunk and to be honest I can't hear it when it's running which is great compared to my recent cool box, what I like about this one is that when it reaches its set temperature the motors slow down so it's really quiet, fantastic.

We were very happy with the purchase of this coolbox. It is of a good quality and works as expected.

Great Purchase

We were a little hesitant spending so much on a small thermoelectric coolbox but I guess you pay for what you get! It is a great quality little cooler and has definitely enhanced our camping trips!
