How to choose a car refrigerator?
Auto-refrigerators will be useful for truckers, drivers whose profession is directly related to the car and for those who often go on a journey. It is surprising that in our region such devices only gain popularity when in the west they are in every home.
Types of auto-refrigerators
Among the entire range of such structures, two types of models can be distinguished according to the principle of operation: those that can maintain the temperature of products and those that create and maintain a certain degree of the refrigerating chamber. You can buy a car cooler in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa with delivery in Ukraine at 130.com.ua.
There are such models of the first type:
- In the form of a bag. The body is made of two layers of nylon, between them there is a heat-insulating layer. The bag is securely closed, therefore preventing the possibility of ingestion of warm air inside. Bag volume can be within 25 l.
- Containers are made of durable plastic. The storage time of products can even reach several days. There are devices with increased storage capacity up to 100 liters.
Models of the second type are built-in and portable structures. Built-in installed between the seats of the car.
Convenient if the refrigerator is equipped with a special protective device against discharge. As soon as the battery starts to discharge strongly, the system gives a signal about it.
Devices may have several types of cooling:
- compression;
- thermoelectric;
- absorption.
Low-power models most often have a thermoelectric type of cooling. They work in two modes: heating and cooling. Devices with a large volume are most often equipped with an absorption type of cooling. Very rarely it is in automotive models found compression method.
You should take into account that the larger the capacity of the refrigerator, the greater its energy consumption.
The advantage of thermoelectric models is their environmental safety, because they lack refrigerant and moving particles, and cooling occurs with the help of electricity. And of course, the device provides the possibility of heating.
Such car coolers can work smoothly at any position of the vehicle, and they themselves can work in vertical and horizontal position.
Selection Criteria
The main parameter for choosing a car cooler is the purpose of the purchase.
For picnics, it is better to choose cooler bags that can withstand temperatures 15 degrees lower than the ambient temperature. The optimal volume-30 l.: Fit a small snack on 5 people. Some models are equipped with external pockets where it is convenient to put the necessary accessories.
For a long trip or regular fishing, hunting is better to choose containers. They are mounted permanently and do not provide for a permanent carrying. Their difference is the ability to maintain the desired temperature for a long time.
Price depends on available functionality, volume and type of construction.
