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.

The present invention provides a transportable coolroom module comprising: a base frame; a coolroom structure mounted on the base frame, the coolroom structure including a floor, a plurality of walls each extending above the floor, and a roof supported by the walls; at least one access door provided in at least one of the walls; and, at least one removable infill panel provided in at least one other of the walls; wherein when the at least one removable infill panel is attached to the coolroom structure, the transportable coolroom module may be used as a stand-alone coolroom; and, wherein when the at least one removable infill panel is selectively removed from the coolroom structure, the transportable coolroom module may be selectively interconnected with one or more other like transportable coolroom modules to create a larger combined coolroom environment. Also provided is associated systems and methods for constructing coolroom structures using multiple such transportable coolroom modules.

A pump mount for a product transportation and storage enclosure can include a stationary bracket secured to one or more of the walls of the housing, a rotating bracket configured to support the pump, a pump manifold, and a rotating manifold.

A trunk cooler removably connected under a seat of a vehicle, the trunk cooler including a base cooler receptacle to store at least one item therein, a plurality of retractable legs disposed on a bottom surface of the base cooler receptacle to support the base cooler receptacle in response to moving the plurality of retractable legs from being retracted in a first vertical position to at least partially extended in a second vertical position, and a cooling system to inject cold air into an interior portion of the base cooler.

A cold food server for preserving the temperature when serving cold food is presented. The server has a cabin for providing cooling and storage of food at a proper temperature. The cabin has a top and a bottom. The cabin has a hood at substantially the top of the cabin where the hood opens and closes to protect the food. A top for preparing the food. The top has a plurality of drop bowls, a plurality of trays and a plurality of hooks. A plurality of cooling coils for maintaining a temperature for the cold food. A plurality of storage units for storing supplies. Each of the storage units has hinges coupled to an outer portion of the storage units to provide opening and closing of the storage units. The storage units having recessed handles to ease the opening and closing of the storage areas. A cooler for storing refrigerated foods. An outer portion of the cooler being coupled to another of the cooling coils. The cooler has a recessed handle to aid in the opening and closing of the cooler. A plurality of wheels, the plurality of wheels being coupled to the bottom of the cabin. The cabin may also have a cover for protecting the cabin when the cabin is not in use.

A beverage cooling assembly for rapidly cooling a beverage container includes a cylinder for insertably receiving a beverage container. A base is rotatably coupled to the cylinder and a cooling unit is positioned within the base. A plurality of bristles is provided and each of the bristles is coupled to and extends inwardly on the cylinder. Each of the bristles is comprised of a thermally conductive material and each of the bristles is in thermal communication with the cooling unit such that the cooling unit cools the bristles when the cooling unit is turned on. Moreover, each of the bristles frictionally engages the beverage container when the beverage container is positioned in the cylinder. In this way the cooling unit cools the beverage container when the beverage container is positioned in the cylinder.

A portable cooler is provided that includes a base that supports a refrigeration unit. The base also supports a plurality of upwardly-extending support poles that accommodate a top portion. The support poles, top portion, and base define a food storage volume that is surrounded by a plurality of insulative walls.
