Portable refrigerators

What types of portable refrigerators are there?

There are three types of isothermal products: refrigerator bags made of fabric (volume from 4.5 to 33 liters), isothermal containers (volume from 10 to 140 liters) and car refrigerators (volume from 15 to 38 liters). They differ in design, material and functionality. made of impact-resistant plastic, which ensures their strength and durability. So the isothermal container Isoterm from "Campingaz" withstands 250 kg of vertical load. The thermal insulation properties of containers are twice as high as that of refrigerated bags due to the greater wall thickness (up to 4 cm). Equipped with a sturdy handle that simultaneously serves as a lock and prevents unintentional opening. Cooler bags are made of durable fabric (nylon) and have double walls, between which there is a thermal insulation layer of polyethylene foam. Bags can be folded, taking up a minimum of space.

Why do we need cold storage accumulators?

The cold accumulator is a sealed container made of food grade polyethylene, inside which a special composition is poured. The cold accumulator acts as a cooling element. Batteries vary in weight (from 330 to 990 grams). The cold accumulators are frozen in the freezer and then placed on top of pre-chilled food or drinks in the portable refrigerator. Cold storage accumulators are designed for reusable use.

Insulated bags of this series are ideal for trips to the beach or out of town, as well as for picnics or shopping trips. They fold easily and do not take up much space.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Volume: 39 l.
Dimensions (LxHxD): 37.5x36.5x28 cm.
Temperature preservation time: 15h 30min with cold accumulators.

Refrigerator in bag

One of the options for solving the problem (how to get food to the picnic site) - thermal bag. It is also called a cooler bag. But still, the first name is more correct, since it is, in fact, a thermos that keeps you cool and warm.
So with its help one can bring “to nature” not only cold beer, but also, let's say, a warm pie. In general, the thermal bag is designed to store many (in fact, any) products. It can be fruits, vegetables, dairy products, drinks, meat, fish. Of course, the latter should certainly be packed in a bag or in special containers (it happens that they are included in the delivery set) before putting them in the bag.

My comment.

Such refrigerators are not so expensive, and you can afford such a pleasure. for storing starter cultures or proving dough in cold weather or when there are no conditions to let the dough stand in the oven.

For a cool temperature in a thermo-refrigerator, you can use thermal containers or the same plastic bottles with frozen water.
Temperature + 8-10 * C will be provided for you.

For a warm temperature of + 25-28 * C, it is enough to put bottles with hot water in a thermo-refrigerator.

I gave you the idea - try it!

And how long will such a refrigerator maintain a temperature of 10-12 degrees? I have a thermoelectric refrigerator at home, which was specially developed for doctors to transport blood plasma (but since there is no car, I do not use it for its intended purpose - just a container). It will not be difficult for his guys to repurpose it for a power supply unit.

Questions about where to store the leavens and where to melt the dough on the forum do not subside.
But they arise in different topics and the answers to them are also scattered everywhere.

I renamed the theme to “Where will we store the leaven and proof the dough”.

I ask you to share your own experience and post tips, from simple to most difficult - we will choose some of them for use at home.

To store my starter culture, I bought this refrigerator:

Where will we store the leaven and proof the dough
Mini car refrigerator
Volume 12 liters
Power 48 W
Weight 3.5 kg
Gabarity:
33 x 21 x 16 cm
Inside: Where will we store the leaven and proof the dough
Removable shelf. I set the thermometer in such a way as to observe the temperature inside through the window without opening it.
The minimum can give out 10 * C, but by simple manipulations with the seal, I easily get 12 * C. When you need 10 *, I simply return the folded part of the seal to its place.
Very happy!

No words !!! I am delighted with the idea !!!

How does this refrigerator work? Electricity? Unlikely.

I know how such a refrigerator works. Not exactly this brand, but similar, I bought two and a half years ago for the control room in our HOA. It works from the mains, and can work in the car, for this there is a special wire in the kit. The temperature can really only be 20 degrees lower than indoors. The minimum temperature can be set to 4 degrees. This summer, in the terrible heat, he coped quite well. I really don't know how he will behave if he is never turned off. It seems to me that it is not designed for a permanent job.

lega, thanks for the information.

Thermoelectric refrigerators do not have a compressor and freon, so they are quiet. Cooling occurs due to the Peltier effect (when current is passed through the thermoelement, a certain amount of heat is released or absorbed, depending on the direction of the current). They are also good because they are not afraid of overturning. I have a thermoelectric wine cooler. Yes, the regulation of the temperature inside depends on the temperature outside, but I easily adapted - I hung a thermometer inside and, if necessary, turn the regulator. Sold in Metro, 1200 UAH

A super-cheap solution for a starter refrigerator: glue (using 2-sided tape) a styrofoam pocket to the wall of a household refrigerator or freezer to hold the starter dishes. Cover the top with a piece of polystyrene / plug with padding polyester, etc. Only in some places are the walls of modern refrigerators warm - it is checked by touch, it is better to choose the wall of the freezer compartment. Theoretically, the pocket will have something in between room T and T "behind the wall" - depending on the thickness of the foam and the gap under the lid. Before the onset of heat, you must try.

I store the starter in a wine refrigerator at +12 g.
