Product Description
Ideal for road trips, camping excursions, boating trips, tailgate
parties, and just about any other away-from-home activity, the Koolatron
Voyager thermoelectric cooler keeps your food and beverages cool
without requiring you to stock up on ice cubes every few hours. The
Voyager plugs directly into your car's 12-volt cigarette lighter, where
it draws less power than your headlights. Once plugged in, the cooler's
thermoelectric cooling module--which takes up less space than a
matchbook--maintains a constant temperature of approximately 40 to 45
degrees F lower than the temperature of the surrounding air. At a
temperature of 80 degrees F, for example, the contents of the cooler
will stay at 38 degrees F. As a result, you can store cool drinks for
weeks on end, preserve leftovers for a couple of days, and even keep ice
cubes whole for three or four days longer than traditional coolers. No
more costly stops for soda or snacks, saving you both time and money
while on the road. As an alternative, you can also use the Voyager to
heat food up to 130 to 140 degrees F--hot enough for a potluck dinner or
a picnic. Or you can split the difference and keep infant food and
bottles warm while on the road.
Explaining Thermoelectric Refrigeration
Thermoelectric refrigeration uses a principle called the Peltier effect
to pump heat electronically. Named after a French scientist who
discovered it in 1834, the Peltier effect describes the process of
electrical currents passing through a series of tiny metal cube
junctions, thereby transferring heat from one metal to the other. When
connected to a heat-absorbing device on one side and a heat-dissipating
device on the other, solid-state thermoelectric modules are capable of
transferring large quantities of heat. The Voyager cooler applies this
technology through its internal aluminum cold plate fins, which absorb
heat from the contents (food and beverages), and then use the
thermoelectric modules to transfer it to the heat-dissipating fins under
the control panel. The only moving part is a small 12-volt fan that
disperses the heat into the air. Thermoelectric modules--which are
ideally suited to recreational applications because they are
lightweight, compact, insensitive to motion or tilting, have no moving
parts, and can operate directly from 12-volt batteries.
Voyager Benefits
The Voyager offers a number of benefits to anyone who travels
frequently in a vehicle. While it's not quite as portable as a
traditional cooler, it still offers plenty of on-the-go freedom, making
it great for day trips, long overnight journeys, pleasure boating,
fishing, and camping. It's also extremely efficient, continually
reducing the temperature within the first three hours depending on the
contents of the unit and the surrounding air. And because there's only
one moving part (the 12-volt fan), virtually nothing in the cooler can
wear out. The Voyager also proves invaluable as an extra fridge in a
recreation room or basement bar, the main fridge in a dorm room, as a
medical cooler for samples or temperature-sensitive drugs, and as a
storage case for heat-sensitive camera and film equipment in extreme
climates.
