I would like to clear up some miss understandings you have regarding gas absorption. I am the marketing manager for cold-factor. I read your comment and then registered to leave a statement.

With the compressor route, yes you have to make sure you have battery power all the time but rather that then having a unit that doesnt work very well on 12v to begin with and may not work on gas when needed most. Yes some guys have had good experiences with 3way units but I asked myself the question "Am I willing to take the chance that it doesn't work when I need it most?" I have a NL 50L twin and a Tropical 45L, both working from the danfoss compressor and both worked without an problems for the three weeks we were on holiday.
Having had a Zero 3 way in Mozambique this last December that never worked no matter how level it was, I can honestly say it was a waste of space. Secondly, I dont know about this particular brand but the way I understand it the absorbtion type units will always draw alot more current and therefore are not the best if wanting to run it mainly off 12V.Īlso it is said that getting them to run is a pain in the butt. Specs on their website for the 45 L ( " onclick="window.open(this.href) return false ):
How does the Cold-Factor compare to other brands - Waeco, etc.? Comparing to National Luna: 12V - 2.5Amps average running current, the Cold-Factor uses about 5 times more current. I did a quick calculation, don't know if I am correct: The 45L (Cold-Factor) is a 130W device, so at 12V this equates to 10.8 Ampere. They work on LP Gas, 220v and 12v.Īccording to Cold-Factor: "The 45L runs for more than three weeks on a 9kg LP Gas cylinder"
The units work with absorption units - silent operation, no compressor. Does anyone have any experience with the Cold-Factor range of freezers/Fridges ( " onclick="window.open(this.href) return false )?
