The disclosed invention provides portable cold room storage system that includes an improved solar panel racking system. The portable cold room storage system provides solar power for the cold room storage system. The portable cold room storage system includes a cold or cool room, one or more power sources to generate energy, a battery storage to store the energy generated by the one or more power sources and to supply the energy to the cold or cool room, and a racking system to mount the one or more power sources.

A portable refrigerator includes a main housing, a refrigerator cover, a cooling mechanism, a rechargeable battery pack and a control unit. The cooling mechanism includes heat exchanging tubes, a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser connected to the evaporator and the compressor. The rechargeable battery pack is detachably attached on a power compartment of the main housing. The control unit is supported in the main housing and electrically connected to the rechargeable battery pack and the cooling mechanism for centrally controlling an operation of the cooling mechanism. A predetermined amount of refrigerant is arranged to controllably pass through the heat exchanging tubes, the condenser, the evaporator and the compressor for extracting heat from the accommodating cavity.

A system comprises: a molded tub (92A; 92B) comprising: a base (96); a sidewall (98) extending from the base; and a mounting flange (94) extending from the sidewall; a pre-molded expanded material insert (162, 164; 220, 222; 700, 702) within the tub; and a cover (90A; 90B) over the insert.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for cooling of beverages containers, such as cans or bottles, quickly, or on demand. An apparatus may provide for quickly cooling a number of beverage containers when power is available and for storing them, once they have been cooled. The apparatus may include a thermoelectric cooler configured to rapidly cool a beverage container in a cooling cell. The methods may include detecting the presence of a beverage container in a cooling cell and cooling the beverage container to a selected temperature. The availability of external power may be detected and a rapid cooling of a beverage container may begin when power becomes available.

A refrigerator of the present disclosure includes an inner case configured to have a storage chamber, a door configured to open and close the storage chamber, a plurality of side panels configured to cover both sides of the inner case, the plurality of side panels being configured to be formed of a metal material, a case supporter configured to support the inner case, a base configured to support a lower side of the case supporter, at least a portion of the base being configured to be spaced apart from a lower side of the door and the case supporter, and a base panel configured to be attached to an upper surface of the base adjacent to the door, the base panel being configured to be formed of the same material as that of the plurality of side panels or having a metal texture.

A portable cooler container is provided. The temperature control system cools a chamber of the container to transport temperature sensitive contents via the container. An electronic display screen on one of the lid and the container body selectively displays an electronic shipping label for the portable cooler container.

An evaporative cooling device including a combination of insulative surfaces and evaporative surfaces that may hold and cool contents with walls that are made of semipermeable materials. The evaporative surfaces store and facilitate the evaporation of a liquid to cool the interior of the evaporative cooling device while the insulative surfaces limit heat transfer in or out of the evaporative cooling device from air, sunlight or the ground. The evaporative cooling device is further capable of holding a variety of products at a temperature below ambient environmental temperature, assuming less than 100% humidity. Moreover, the evaporative cooling device may be designed to be lightweight and collapsible for easy transport and storage.

A portable refrigerator includes a main housing, a refrigerator cover, a cooling mechanism, a rechargeable battery pack and a control unit. The cooling mechanism includes heat exchanging tubes, a compressor, an evaporator and a condenser connected to the evaporator and the compressor. The rechargeable battery pack is detachably attached on a power compartment of the main housing. The control unit is supported in the main housing and electrically connected to the rechargeable battery pack and the cooling mechanism for centrally controlling an operation of the cooling mechanism. A to predetermined amount of refrigerant is arranged to controllably pass through the heat exchanging tubes, the condenser, the evaporator and the compressor for extracting heat from the accommodating cavity.

A portable air-conditioner system utilizing a removable pre-cooled beverage container is provided. The portable air conditioner system utilizing a removable pre-cooled beverage container has a hollow cylindrical housing having an internal thermal material wherein the housing has an open top end for receiving, for example, a removable standard aluminum 12 ounce can, glass, plastic bottle or the like. The housing has an internal pathway system which transports cooled air produced from the removable pre-cooled beverage container out toward the user with the aid of a fan located at the bottom of the housing. In an embodiment, the internal pathway is preferably spiral, but may also be serpentine or another suitable design. An electronic charging docking station may recharge the fan.

An air duct assembly is provided that is configured to supply air to a compartment and including: an outer cover housing, configured to be fixed to an outer side of a compartment wall defining the compartment, an external accommodating cavity being defined inside the outer cover housing; an inner cover housing, configured to be disposed opposite to the outer cover housing on an inner side of the compartment wall, an internal accommodating cavity being defined inside the inner cover housing. An air inlet is formed in the outer cover housing, so as to allow external air to enter the external accommodating cavity via the air inlet. A vent is formed in the compartment wall, so that the external accommodating cavity communicates with the internal accommodating cavity. An air outlet is formed in the inner cover housing, so as to supply the air in the internal accommodating cavity to the inside of the compartment.
