The Unique Inovation
Designed to withstand the rigors of travel and outdoor use, the CoolCamper cooling unit offers lightweight, compact design and energy efficiency for off-grid adventures in hot, dry conditions. Whether you’re camping or living off the grid, this cooling solution ensures comfort without relying on traditional power sources.
Key Features:
• Modular design: A wide range of models and accessories, of modular design to fit most camping vehicles and user needs. The operation of all models is similar with variations in the shape, size and configuration for the user to select from.
• 12V Operation: The CoolCamper runs on a 12V power supply with low energy consumption.
• Battery-Powered: Long-term operation is possible using batteries from your camping vehicle, complemented by a suitably sized solar charging system.
• Evaporative Cooling: Dry, hot air from the outdoor environment passes through a water-saturated pad, cooling down according to evaporative theory. This process consumes significantly less energy than refrigeration-based air conditioners.
• Effective Airflow: The high-volume cool air is directed into the living area, while hot air is expelled through ventilation openings. Keep doors and windows open for a comfortable indoor environment.
• Clean and Humidified Air: The cool air passes through the living area once without recirculation, maintaining a clean, humidified atmosphere.
• Integrated Water System: The cooling unit uses a small amount of water for the evaporative process. The water supply comes from the camping vehicle’s water pump system, maintaining a minimum water level in a dedicated tank.
• Effortless Operation: The control system is optimized for convenient, efficient long-term use, requiring no intervention after initial setup. The operation of all models includes a manual speed selection and an automatic operating selection which adjust the fan speed or start stop the unit based on the internal temperature of the unit. A sleep mode is also available to shut down the unit at a preset time.
Stay cool and comfortable with the CoolCamper cooling unit during those scorching summer months!
Here's what sets our cooling systems apart:
Firstly, consider the common strategies to stay cool: It's essential to do whatever is feasible, similar to measures taken at home, to prevent the living space from becoming too warm and to eliminate the heat. Let's examine both of these aspects more closely-
• There are various strategies to mitigate the effects of direct sunlight. The heat radiation that can enter your tent or camping vehicle is considerable. It's akin to placing a large 2Kw to 3Kw electric heater inside your tent when the atmospheric temperatures are already elevated. Even with adequate ventilation, this can raise the temperature inside your living area by as much as 10°C higher than outside.
- Setting up in the shade effectively eliminates the direct radiant heat from the sun, which is significant, but finding shade is often a matter of luck rather than planning, as experienced campers will attest.
Insulating your space is effective at reducing radiant heat entry into the living area, but over time, either the insulation or the interior may become excessively warm. Without a method to dissipate this heat, it could result in sleeping within a heated, insulated caravan that cools down slowly. Nevertheless, proper insulation combined with a cooling solution enables the maintenance of a cooler living environment while using considerably less energy.
• What are the options for heat removal? A fan is ideal for relief as it circulates air, but it cannot remove heat or cool the environment. To remove heat using technology, one could opt for traditional household air conditioners or the more industrially-used evaporative coolers. Examining these technologies from a camping perspective:
- Traditional household air conditioners are commonly used in caravans, and 12V units are gaining popularity. However, they require more power than most camper setups can supply, especially with inefficiencies and variables like cloud cover. These air conditioners are suitable for well-insulated spaces with access to an external power source. They work well in high humidity or coastal areas but may overheat when the atmospheric temperature exceeds 38°C in dry inland conditions.
- Evaporative coolers are not as well-known. They are typically used in large industrial buildings due to their low energy consumption. Portable household units are readily available, but their performance can be underwhelming, which tarnishes the technology's reputation. This is often due to air recirculation within the living space and design inefficiencies.
Evaporative coolers operate efficiently by drawing in outside air, cooling it, and then circulating it into the living area, thereby expelling the warm air through an open vent, door, or window. The rate of air replacements, which is crucial for determining the unit's size, should be high.
In conclusion, the CoolCamper cooling system aligns with the requirements for low-energy, highly efficient evaporative coolers suitable for the intended environment. Let's examine some key points to delve into this further:
1. CoolCamper System Design:
- The units, along with accessories, enable installation in an optimal position to draw air from outside, cool it, and then circulate it into the living space.
- The system is proportioned for typical conditions, ensuring high air turnover within the living area while maintaining acceptable noise levels at medium fan speeds.
- Fan speed adjustments are based on the amount of radiant heat to be removed, which the insulation quality of the caravan or tent influences.
2. Ideal Environments:
- CoolCamper coolers are most effective in hot and dry climates, ideal for many inland overlanding destinations.
3. Product Range and Accessories:
- CoolCamper provides a variety of cooler models and sizes to accommodate different off-road camping vehicles.
- Options include standard "bare units" that can be customized with accessories like doors or discharge grids.
- Visit the "Select your CoolCamper system" page to review the choices and then proceed to our "shop" to place your order.
4. Operating and Information Touch Screen:
- The "Operating and information touch screen" is a must-have plug-in accessory for all 2024 CoolCamper models, offering essential control and insights.
- For those curious about the science behind it, CoolCamper offers a summary of evaporative cooling theory on our website, which is beneficial for optimal equipment use.
Be sure to review the options and select the CoolCamper system that best fits your camping requirements. Enjoy your camping and stay cool! 😊
