Latest Dometic ACX3 40G Coolbox (12V/240V/Gas) with Gas Canister Cradle

Dometic ACX40G with Gas Canister cradle . GAS CANISTER NOT INCLUDED. Absorption cooler, with an integrated cradle for a gas cartridge – the only one on the market. Depending on ambient temperatures 1 canister should last a day approximiately.

You’ve found a dream place to stay but there’s no way to get there with the vehicle and no mains hook-up either … Don’t worry, CombiCool ACX absorption coolers from Dometic give you maximum freedom in choosing your picnic site. They run on 12 volts in the vehicle and on 230 volts at home or at a campsite. In the great outdoors you simply switch over to gas mode. This provides cooling up to 30 °C below the ambient temperature. As this is part of the ACX family it has the elegant aluminium housing with the distinctive lid.

The ACX40G (Formerly RC1205GC) offers uncompromising independence, and are even able to operate with a gas cartridge (approx. 250 g). Ideal for camping in a tent and other last-minute activities – this uncomplicated source of energy is easy to take along. With a volume of 40 litres, and vertical space for large bottles, this decidedly goodvalue absorption unit has proven to be the ideal camping coolers. The ACX40G will keep their contents 30°C below the ambient temperature. In addition if anyone wants ice cubes in their drink: Ice cube trays are included.

We have been told by Dometic that a single canister can last upto a day (depending on ambient temperature). This makes it perfect for a weekend trip as you don’t need to bring a large gas bottle as you would with other coolboxes, you can just use 2 or 3 small canisters instead!

This coolbox is 508 mm in depth and can be used on 12 volts, 230 volts and gas cartridges. Energy supply guaranteed anywhere it is used!

THIS COOLBOX USES ABSORPTION TECHNOLOGY

What is the difference between the cooling technologies?

ABSORPTION COOLING

Details of distinguishing features:

• Gas-powered cooling independent of electricity
• Three way cooling – Gas, 12 volts DC or 230 volts AC
• Silent operation
• Cooling performance depending on the ambient temperature

The Technical Bit

A concentrated ammonia solution is heated in a boiler and expelled as vapour. The pressurised ammonia gas is then liquefied in a condenser. Supplied with hydrogen, it evaporates and in the process extracts heat from the storage container. The ammonia gas then enters the absorber where it is reabsorbed in a weak solution of ammonia. Finally, the saturated solution flows back to the boiler where the whole cycle starts again.

THERMOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY

Details of distinguishing features:

• 12 / 24 / 230 Volt
• Independent of inclination
• Lightweight and low-cost
• Cooling performance depending on the ambient temperature

The Technical Bit

The thermoelectric principle was discovered by J. C. A. Peltier, which is why the temperature generating parts of thermoelectric systems are referred to as Peltier elements. Thermoelectrics are based on the fact that cold or heat energy (depending on the polarity) is generated when a DC current is conducted between different types of metal. The heating or cooling capacity is further enhanced by heat exchangers and air fans. Ideal for low and medium cooling volumes.

COMPRESSOR TECHNOLOGY

Details of distinguishing features:

• Excellent cooling performance even at extreme ambient temperatures
• Refrigeration and deep-freezing
• 12 / 24 / 100 – 240 volts
• Low power consumption – suitable for solar operation
• Battery protection
• Quiet operation with little vibration
• Independent of inclination

The Technical Bit

Compressor units operate using a refrigerant that changes from liquid to gaseous state in the evaporator. The evaporation extracts heat from the interior of the cooling unit – the temperature drops. The compressor draws in the refrigerant, compresses it and passes it on to the condenser. Here, the absorbed heat is released to the atmosphere. The refrigerant liquefies again and flows to the evaporator, where the cycle begins again.
