TOP-5 thermoelectric containers-refrigerators for a motorist

The range of the Camry brand includes mainly inexpensive household appliances. Also in the portfolio of the company there are interesting offers for motorists. In particular, the travel refrigerator CR 8065.

The model is made in the form of a plastic box with a convenient hinged lid. The refrigerator chamber has a volume of 24 liters and has good thermal insulation. It maintains a constant temperature with a difference of up to 20 ° C relative to the ambient temperature. The auto-refrigerator is supposed to be used to cool drinks and food or to keep warm food warm. In the heating mode inside the box, the temperature regime is maintained at a level of about 60 - 65 °С.

Camry CR 8065 belongs to the segment of thermoelectric auto-refrigerators, the principle of which is based on the Peltier effect. Passing current through special semiconductor plates, one side of them heats up, the other one cools. By changing the polarity of the electric current, the operating modes of the device are switched to cooling or heating.

The refrigerator is powered by life-giving energy from a 12V car cigarette lighter socket, and can be plugged into a standard 230V household outlet for stopovers along the way. A removable partition for sorting products inside the working chamber gives convenience in handling the model. With dimensions of 45x30x44 cm, the auto-refrigerator weighs about 4.2 kg.

Thermoelectric auto-refrigerator Mystery MTC-25 will come in handy on a year-round basis. In the hot summer heat, the model keeps food fresh and drinks cool. Also, the model can be used to transport warm food.

The refrigerator is assembled in a plastic case in a container format. The internal volume of the box is 25 liters - it fits quite a lot of products overnight. When going on a picnic with a large company, you can take several kilograms of meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, sauces and ketchups, and soft drinks with you.

Semiconductor plates are built into the front wall of the auto-refrigerator. When an electric current flows through them, the inner side of the plates is cooled, the outer side is heated. This ensures a cooling effect. If you change the direction of current supply, everything happens exactly the opposite. In this case, the refrigerator will work to maintain heat with the highest possible temperature up to +65 ° C.

Uniform distribution of cooled or heated air along the perimeter of the chamber is provided by a fan, which is built into the cover of the device. The device is capable of maintaining a temperature difference 18 °C lower than the outside air temperature. The auto-refrigerator is powered both from the on-board network of the vehicle through the 12 V cigarette lighter socket, and from a regular household outlet with a voltage of 230 V. In addition, the model will please with its relatively compact dimensions (39x30x37 cm) and low weight (3.75 kg).

The Ravanson CS-24S Super portable refrigerator will be a good help both when planning a country picnic and for cooling food on the road. Moreover, the model is able to maintain the temperature of warm food.

The plastic container with polyurethane insulation has an internal usable volume of 24 liters. The working chamber is closed by a lid in which a small fan is built in to evenly distribute cooled or heated air flows. For the convenience of carrying the refrigerator in your hands, a folding handle was attached to the upper part of the product body.

The power supply to the device is made from a car cigarette lighter socket or from a conventional 230 V socket. To switch the power supply methods, the device design provides for the “DC / AC” slider. Next to it is a toggle switch for switching modes: when working for cooling, the Ravanson CS-24S Super maintains the temperature by about 13 ° C below the ambient temperature, in heating mode - at about 60 ° C.

Indicators of the selected operating modes are colored lights: green for cooling mode, red for heating. Out of the box, the model is equipped with a 2.5 m long car power cable, and a removable partition for zoning the internal space is often included in the standard package. Note that a similar model without the Super prefix is on sale - the basic version of the Ravanson CS-24S only works from the 12 V car on-board network.

The practical model Sencor SCM 3224BL is suitable for use in road trips at any time of the year. A portable refrigerator operates in two main modes - for cooling and keeping warm.

The device is a capacious plastic box with an internal usable volume of 24 liters. With the lid closed, 6 plastic bottles with a drink of 1.5 liters or 5 bottles of 2 liters are free in the container. As for food, a sufficient amount of provisions for a company of 3-4 people will fit in the refrigerator compartment. Removable partition allows you to separate incompatible products among themselves.

Models are "too tough" to cool the contents to a temperature that is 16-18 ° C below ambient. The indicator of the operation of the device for cooling is a green light near the slider for switching modes "HOT / COLD". Heating is indicated by a red light here. Sencor SCM 3224BL also boasts an economical ECO mode from a 230 V network - when it is activated, after reaching 12 ° C, the cooling is automatically turned off. In the car, the refrigerator is powered by the cigarette lighter socket.

In the container, a system for protecting the car battery from discharge was used, which was put on guard to prevent unpleasant situations associated with a deep discharge of the battery. For other factors, close attention is given to 3 practical pockets in front and on the sides of the refrigerator body, a large handle for easy carrying of the device and a double protection system for closing the lid to prevent food spoilage. The only disadvantage of the model in the context of peers is a lot of weight (about 8 kg).

The compact Pinnacle Power auto-refrigerator with Indian roots in the genealogical tree provides an indefinitely long maintenance of cold or heat. The main condition for this is to connect the device to the car's on-board power supply 12 V or a standard 230 V power supply.

The refrigerator is assembled in a case made of shockproof plastic of an unusual turquoise color. The body walls are filled with thermal insulation material - polyurethane foam. Semiconductor wafers were built into the front wall of the unit, operating on the principle of the Peltier effect. The current passed through them in one direction causes the inner plate to cool, and when the electron flows change, it heats up. This ensures the operating modes of the device for cooling and heating.

Before traveling by car, it is recommended to pre-cool food and drinks in a domestic refrigerator. Another option involves cooling the auto-refrigerator chamber with cold accumulators. It is important to remember that the appliance does not cool the food, but keeps it cold at a constant temperature (about 15 °C below the outside temperature). In the heating mode, the temperature inside the box can be maintained at up to 50 °C.

As for the capacity of the auto-refrigerator, 4 two-liter plastic bottles with a drink can easily fit into it. The total useful working chamber of the device is 30 liters. For ease of access to the contents, the cover of the model was made completely removable. Finally, I would like to highlight the increased power of the device when the power is connected from a household outlet - the cooling capacity and heat generation in this power supply option almost doubles than when the auto-refrigerator is powered from the cigarette lighter socket.
