Auto Fridge
The Autofridge has been designed and manufactured in Australia to suit Australian conditions. The reason we sell it is because it is unquestionably the PREMIER fridge on the Australian market today. Some of the key benefits are:
- The interior cabinet and the exterior construction of the Autofridge are white fibreglass - this colour is the best for hot climates and the integral strength of fibreglass for use in rough conditions has been proven by the long term popularity of fibreglass for boat manufacturers
- The compressor chosen for use in the Autofridge is the latest Danfoss BD 35F unit and controller. This compressor has been selected because of its remarkable efficiency and it is supplied as a spring-housed unit, suitable for use in off road conditions
- The EUTECTIC operation of the refrigeration system allows you, the user, the luxury of knowing that in ambient temperatures of up to 32 degrees Celsius, the MAXIMUM DAILY POWER CONSUMPTION of your fridge is on average only 20AH/12Volt. This of course means that you can easily determine how long you can remain stationary without flattening your battery. Ideally suited to work with the SOLAR-PORT* power supply.
The Autofridge is totally unique to the Australian market and operates differently to all other portable fridges. Let us explain:
- Autofridge combines a compressor driven system with the power-saving advantages of the EUTECTIC refrigeration system - This is without doubt the PREMIER system on the market
- The 'EUTECTICS' act as a cold storage compound for the refrigeration contents. The EUTECTIC fluid surrounds the outside of the four walls of the interior cabinet acting as an 'ice bank'
- In an ambient temperature of up to 32 degrees Celsius, having initially pre-chilled the Autofridge, it need only be run on its maximum setting for a total of 5-6 hours per day (preferably 2 hours in the morning and ~3 hours in the afternoon), and during this run-time, the fluid is frozen and the cabinet contents are thoroughly chilled.
- The Autofridge can be turned OFF in between the run-times, and the eutectic fluid acts as a thermal phase change (cold storage) compound and provides the continuous refrigeration hold-over for NIL power consumption. Figures quoted assume normal usage of your refrigerator, e.g. opening/shutting the lid to use or replace contents.
- The Autofridge uses an average of less than 1amp per hour to run the fridge. Compare that to any other fridge on the market and you will see why Autofridge is the BEST.
The Autofridge can be operated in any one of the following ways:
- As a EUTECTIC refrigeration system – the Autofridge is run for a total of 5-6 hours per day – split into two separate running periods of 2 hours in the morning and ~3 hours in the afternoon. The Autofridge is turned "OFF" in the interim. Average daily power consumption for this mode of operation is ~20Ah/day @ 12V.
- As a CYCLIC refrigeration system – the Autofridge is set on a refrigeration setting (e.g. '2') on the thermostat and left to cycle 'on' and 'off' throughout the day. Average daily power consumption for this mode of operation is ~24Ah/day @ 12V.
- As a CYCLIC freezer – the Autofridge is set on one of its sub-zero settings ('5', '6' or '7') on the thermostat – the higher the setting, the colder the Autofridge will cycle – and left to cycle 'on' and 'off' throughout the day. Average daily power consumption for this mode of operation is ~40Ah/day @ 12V.
As you probably are aware, the efficiency of your vehicle or marine electrical system can greatly affect the operation of any low voltage refrigerator. Whether to install an auxiliary battery can usually be determined by how you intend to use your Autofridge or any other D.C. lights or appliances
