Cooling device 1, in particular a freezer 2, having a closable cooling space 3, an electrically operated cooling circuit, and preferably a cold storage pack 4, wherein the at least one closable cooling space 3 and the cold storage pack 4 can be cooled by the electrically operated cooling circuit. The cooling device has a power distributor 5 for distributing electrical power of at least one regenerative power source 6 to an electrically operated cooling circuit of the cooling device 1 and to at least one further electricity consuming device 7. In addition, the power distributor 5 has a control system with a computing unit 23, a memory 24 and priority logic. The priority logic is used to preferentially supply the electrically operated cooling circuit of the cooling device 1 with electricity if there is a lack of electrical power of the at least one regenerative power source 6.

An air conditioning system includes an air conditioner mounted on a mobile body having a cold storage. The air conditioner includes a compressor, a condenser, a decompression device, an evaporator, and a blower. The air conditioning system includes a charge display device configured to display a charge related to a use of the air conditioner; and a controller configured to control an air conditioning operation. The controller includes: a load calculation unit that calculates an air conditioning load of the air conditioner; a charge calculation unit that calculates a usage charge based on the air conditioning load; and a charge display unit that displays the usage charge on the charge display device.

A food stand system with a plan view in the shape of an incomplete circle, with a flat top surface as a countertop, and a convex customer-facing surface. The stand contains a food preparation appliance having both cooking and refrigeration components. Sensors measure the appliance interior state, and provide data to an automated controller that controls appliance operation to prepare food for consumption.

A cooler is provided which has various improvements. The cooler may be a passive cooler or may be actively cooled for providing desirable cooling effects. The cooler may include an accessory system, for example, with bottle or can holders or a post holder which utilizes the weight of the cooler to support a sunshade. The accessory system may be positioned in various locations of the cooler, one location being in a recess which is utilized to open the cooler lid. The smart cooler may also comprise a cushion assembly which may be placed on an upper surface of the lid and may have straps to retain the cushion on the lid. The lid may be formed to accept and retain a cushion retaining feature so that the cushion does not excessively move from the top surface of the lid.

An environmental control unit for use with a transport container is provided. The environmental control unit includes: a thermoelectric device; a fan to blow air across the thermoelectric device; a cooling passage configured to receive the air blown across the thermoelectric device and convey the air to a compartment of a transport container when the transport container is removably connected to the environmental control unit; a controller in electronic communication with the thermoelectric device and the fan; a battery configured to power the environmental control unit; and one or more piezoelectric devices configured to generate electrical power to charge the battery, wherein each of the one or more piezoelectric devices is electrically connected to the battery.

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.
