Do the Kooltron fridges have an automatic low voltage cut-out to protect the battery system?
Yes, all of the Kooltron fridges have a low voltage cut out that can be set at either 10.5V or 11.8V. Please note that once the low voltage cut out has been triggered, the compressor will not restart again until the voltage on the connected battery reaches above 12.6V
What type of cables are supplied by Kooltron?
- 1 x 12volt cable
- 1 x 240volt cable
Do the fridges run on 110 Volt?
No.
Can I connect 12 Volt and 240 Volt at the same time?
Yes. You can connect 12 and 240 volt at the same time, it will run only on 240 volt and automatically change over to DC when AC fails.
Why do we manufacture a fridge with a 50mm insulation?
The 50mm insulation allows for more efficient cool down period and allows unit to maintain lower temperature for longer periods in a higher ambient environment.
Is there a High Temperature Alarm in case the fridge is not able to maintain the selected temperature?
No. The compressor has built in overheat protection , cut off at 90 Degrees C and cut in at 75 Degrees C , the compressor will run at low speed approx. 2400RPM when the compressor temperature reaches 75 Degrees C.
Is the Transit Cover just for protection or for insulation too?
All Kooltron fridges are supplied with a padded transit bag which is mainly for protection as the fridges are designed to have the correct insulation.
What type of Compressor do the Kooltron fridges use?
We make use of the world famous Secop (formally Danfoss) compressor that is covered with a 3year warranty.
Is R134a refrigerant used for Kooltron's fridges?
Yes.
What is the ambient temperature range for safe operation?
10 to 55 Degrees C
What is the minimum temperature range for storage and operation?
The compressor will not run if the ambient temperature is below the preset temperature.
What is the cooling capacity of the compressor?
60 Watts at 2500 RPM (5. Amps on 12 Volt ), 48 Watts at 2000 RPM (4 Amps on 12 Volt )
What are the maximum amps during operation?
5 Amps at 32 Degrees C or warmer Ambient Temp on 12 Volt
What are the maximum amps during start up?
6 Amps at 32 Degrees C Ambient Temp on 12 Volt.
At how many different speed levels does the compressor operate?
Low 4 Amps @ 2000RPM, Normal 5 Amps @ 2500RPM
When should the user switch to High, or Low Speed?
- Normal Speed: when the ambient temperature is high or running off AC Power, faster cooling time, DC Battery Supply is normal
- Low Speed: when DC Battery supply is limited, or set temperature is around 5 degrees C (Unit set as refrigerator) or to maintain set temperature and limit battery usage
What is the climate rating for the Kooltron fridges?
T – Tropical
Can both bins go down to -18 in a dual unit?
Yes. They can.
