The spring camping season is here and we are loving being able to kick back in the sunshine, throwing back refreshing beers or soft drinks.<\/p>\n
But to make sure you have a steady stream of cold beverages, we have 10 easy and helpful tips that\u2019ll make your high efficiency Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer unit run cooler and use less battery power for longer trips away!<\/p>\n
All of the Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezers are already energy efficient thanks to their legendary Secop (Danfoss) compressor and high quality, high efficiency insulation but there are still plenty of ways you can help your fridge run cooler, so here are our10 quick tips that\u2019ll help your fridge run cooler and more efficiently:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1.Dual Battery System – <\/strong>If you\u2019re planning on spending longer periods of time on the tracks, or even if you plan on taking regular weekend trips, you need to invest in a dual battery system<\/a><\/strong> to run your Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer<\/a><\/strong> longer without damaging your main battery \u2013 a deep cycle battery<\/a> <\/strong>is the way to go.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.Pre-chill contents – <\/strong>Before you leave home on your weekend escape, it\u2019s a good idea to pre-chill your food and drinks in your normal fridge at home, this is so everything can chill all the way down. Then, before you head out, transfer everything into your Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.Pre-chill the fridge \u2013 <\/strong>By plugging in your Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer<\/a><\/strong> into the mains power at home will chill it down to operating temperature to get it ready for the tracks.<\/p>\n Your 45L<\/a>, 60L<\/a><\/strong> or 70L<\/a> Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer<\/a><\/strong> is able to run on 12 volt DC and 240 volt AC power \u2013 you can take advantage of this by plugging it in at home the night before your trip so it\u2019s frosty cold and ready to go before you leave on your journey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.Keep the door shut – <\/strong>Just like at the local corner store, or hanging out at your mums place, you need to decide what you want before you open the fridge!<\/p>\n While you\u2019re away on your trip, minimise the amount of time your Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer<\/a><\/strong> is open, if you let all the cold out (or the heat in depending on which way you look at it), because every second your fridge is unnecessarily open will mean that your fridge has to use more energy to cool back down.<\/p>\n Similarly, be a good mate and ask if anyone else needs a drink while you\u2019re up \u2013 that\u2019ll reduce the amount of times your fridge needs to be opened!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 5.Restock at night \u2013 <\/strong>If there are longer trips, you should consider restocking the fridge<\/a><\/strong>, do it before bed \u2013 the cooler overnight temperature lets your fridge chill your drinks more effectively. Plus there\u2019s no one opening it up for a good solid chunk of time whilst everyone is asleep\u2013 this means your Adventure Kings Fridge\/Freezer<\/a><\/strong> doesn\u2019t have to constantly cool down the outside air.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6.Let it breath \u2013 <\/strong>When packing your 4WD make sure that it has plenty of space around the compressor area \u2013 What happens when you pack everything in too tightly is that the refrigerator won\u2019t expel the hot air coming out of the condenser. This will make your fridge<\/a> <\/strong>work on overtime and use more of your power.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7.Keep it in the shade \u2013 <\/strong>One of the biggest factors in keeping your fridge freezer running efficiently, is keeping it out of unnecessarily hot situations, if you leave your fridge in the sun, the heat from the sun on the outside of your fridge<\/a> will transfer through the insulation and into the fridge itself, this will increase the load on the compressor and condenser and use more energy than is required. So if possible plan to place your fridge<\/a> in the shade whenever you can \u2013 if you find that your fridge<\/a> always lives in the back of your car, consider fitting a rear awning<\/a> to give it all the shade it needs!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8.Your car is in an oven – <\/strong>Similar to tip 6 \u2013 if you need to leave your Adventure Kings Fridge\/freezer<\/a> in your vehicle, always ensure you leave the windows down or doors open to promote a healty, fresh air flow. The interior of your car can get significantly hotter than the outside temperature research shows that in just minutes a car can climb up to a stifling 70\u00b0C \u2013 particularly if it\u2019s closed up and in the sun!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9.Add another layer – <\/strong>To add another layer of insulation, there is also the option to add a purpose made fridge cover<\/a><\/strong>. By adding an extra layer of insulation and protection to your fridge, you reduce the amount of insulation \u201cleak\u201d experienced by your fridge.<\/p>\n A purpose made insulation cover gives an exceptional level of additional protection from excessive heat and reduces the load on the internal components within a<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10.Keep your battery healthy – <\/strong>If you\u2019re using your fridge regularly, you should invest in a 12v solar panel<\/a><\/strong>. These are a silent and virtually cost free way of recharging your vehicles batteries<\/a><\/strong> and will enable you to keep your fridge running 24\/7 \u2013 and they couldn\u2019t be easier to use. Just set and forget!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The spring camping season is here and we are loving being able to kick back in the sunshine, throwing back refreshing beers or soft drinks.
