At least one method and container are described for maintaining a target temperature within the container. The container generally includes a vacuum insulated body; a lid couplable to the vacuum insulated body; a heatsink, coupled to the lid, wherein a portion of the heatsink is positionable within the vacuum insulated body; and at least one thermoelectric cell coupled to the heatsink, wherein the at least one thermoelectric cell is operated to promote the transfer of heat between the inside of the container and the outside of the container to cool the inside of the container or to warm the inside of the container. The container may be arranged so that internal and external portions of the heatsink may be arranged in a decoupled position to reduce heat transfer therebetween.

A cooler allows easy attachment and detachment of a battery. The cooler includes a main container including a refrigeration compartment, an evaporator on the main container, a compressor and a condenser adjacent to the main container, and at least one battery mount to receive a power tool battery in a detachable manner. The at least one battery mount is adjacent to the main container and above the compressor and the condenser.

A control module for a refrigeration system includes a startup mode control module that receives an off time of a compressor and an ambient temperature, determines whether the off time and the ambient temperature indicate that the compressor is in a flooded condition, and selects, based on the determination, between a normal startup mode and a flooded startup mode. A compressor control module transitions from the flooded startup mode to the normal startup mode after a predetermined period associated with operating in the flooded startup mode and operates the compressor at a first speed in the normal startup mode and operates the compressor at a second speed less than the first speed in the flooded startup mode.

A cargo (22) detection system for a refrigerated cargo container (10) includes a cargo sensor (50) body configured to detect presence of cargo (22) in a refrigerated cargo container (10) and a sensor bracket (56) configured for securing the cargo sensor (50) body at a refrigeration unit (24) of the refrigerated cargo container (10). A temperature sensor (72) is located at the cargo sensor (50) body and is configured to detect a temperature of the cargo sensor (50) body. A temperature controller (74) is operably connected to the temperature sensor (72) and is configured to activate the cargo sensor (50) body for collection of data when the temperature of the cargo sensor (50) body is above a threshold.

The intelligent control is disposed within the appliance housing and operatively connected to the interface and the plurality of sensors and adapted to dynamically select control values associated with the plurality of controls based on at least one of the power information, the environmental conditions, or a combination thereof to increase energy efficiency of the appliance.

The present application is directed to cooling containers that rely on refrigerants. The cooling container is able to efficiently keep items cool by adjusting the input and output of cool air inside the cooling container. For example, storage area no. 1 can keep the refrigerants used for keeping insulated items cool. Plank 1 is parallel to the storage area 1. Plank 2 is parallel to plank 1 and storage area no. 2 storing insulated items therein. The planks 1 and 2 are perpendicularly placed above and below a horizontal plane. Planks 1 and 2 can be adjusted to be higher or lower, so as to adjust the distance therebetween. This allows more efficient control of the airflow of the cool air before the air goes into storage area 2.
