Cool box

With a car cooler, you can take your food on the road at any time of year and not have to worry about keeping it safe. It also ensures that the driver and passengers always have a cool drink at hand. In our modern range, everyone can find the volume and price to suit them.

Types of car coolers

By design:

• Built-in. These are usually placed in the rear armrest or between the seats.
• Portable. These can be placed in any suitable location in the vehicle interior or luggage compartment.

By operating principle:

• Thermally insulated boxes. Thanks to the special materials used, these boxes can maintain the temperature of the contents for several hours. They are relatively light and do not need a power supply. Food should already be cooled before it’s placed inside.
• Types with an active refrigeration system. These are powered via the car cigarette lighter or have rechargeable batteries, sometimes fitted with adapters for connection to a household mains socket. Devices with different temperature ranges are available in our catalogue.

By the type of refrigeration system:

• Thermoelectric type. No refrigerant is used in these portable accessories; the temperature change is caused by the electric current passing through special plates. These devices can be used for both cooling and heating. They take a long time to reach their target temperature. Such refrigerators are resistant to vibration and usually have a relatively small volume of up to 50 litres.
• Absorption type. The cooling process takes place due to evaporation and condensation of the ammonia solution circulating in a closed system. This circulation is controlled by an electric or gas-fired heater. This type cannot withstand much tilting and often has a large volume of more than 20 litres.
• Compressor type. These operate like normal domestic refrigerators by changing the aggregate state of the refrigerant. The compressor is responsible for the circulation of the refrigerant. Such products ensure fast cooling, are resistant to slight tilting, and have a comparatively larger weight.

Tips for using your car cooler

When you place a cooler into your car, make sure it is securely fastened. Use the special fasteners if there are any. Make sure the ventilation openings are not blocked. There must be space in front of them otherwise the device can overheat and stop working.

When you put food inside, make sure it doesn’t prevent the door from closing tightly. Otherwise, the continuous flow of warm air could overload the device and damage it. Also, keep it away from direct sunlight.
