The outside temperature, which most affects compressor refrigerators

July 6, 2015
With the arrival of summer, the use of air conditioning in vehicles and also of portable compressor refrigerators, such as those manufactured by Waeco, is increasing. Opening the fridge a little and avoiding an excessively high outside temperature are key to optimizing the operation and reducing the consumption of this small appliance that is used by more and more truck and road transport professionals.
The outside temperature, which most affects compressor refrigerators

A study recently carried out by the technological website Xataka has shown that what most affects the consumption of a compressor refrigerator is not the number of times it is opened and closed, but the temperature recorded in the external environment of the appliance. The measurements have made it possible to detect that a change of between three and four degrees in the average outside temperature already has an impact on a significant increase in consumption and a decrease in the performance of the refrigerator. The second cause that most produces an increase in consumption in this type of appliance is opening it continuously. The same report recommends placing the refrigerator in an area away from heat sources (the heating of the truck cabin in winter, for example) or from the windows, if they receive direct solar radiation. Good ventilation of the compressor also ensures better performance.

These tips are perfectly valid for the many truck drivers, delivery vans and individuals who use Waeco portable compressor coolers, especially the TropiCool TC 21 and the CDF 36, the favorites of professionals and the best sellers at recambiosdelcamion.com. If you still don't have a portable fridge but you're thinking of buying one, Recambioscelcamion offers you an unbeatable offer: The TropiCool TC21 for 213.18 euros (before it cost 237.65 euros, now 10% cheaper ) and the CDF 36 for 468.96 euros (its original price was 635.25 euros, which represents a discount of 26%).

The TropiCool TC 21 is an ideal refrigerator for those who do not have to refrigerate many things, because it is very manageable and has a capacity of 20 liters. Its older sister, the CDF 36, is not only a refrigerator, but also a freezer and has a capacity of 31 litres, although it weighs 17 kilos.  

The unique sale offer for Waeco refrigerators will be valid all summer, while supplies last.
