The Icey-Tek range of cool boxes are the most insulated cooler today and due to the amount of insulation used, will retain heat as well as cold.
You can cool the box using ice, freezer packs or ice replacement products.
If you are using ice then larger-sized cubed ice is recommended for cooling as it is more efficient than crushed ice.
Reduce the temperature within the cooler by adding ice three hours or so before loading it with the intended contents. As the ice will melt to initially cool the container, empty the water to allow room for more ice. The longer the cooling down period the lower the temperature will be before use.
Load the cooler with as much ice as possible. Pre-cooling the intended contents will help in maximising ice retention.
Once the cooler is in use do not empty the cold water. More energy is required to cool than to maintain cold water.
If using a cooler to store or transport cold food, for food safety reasons do ensure that the temperature remains below 4ºc.
If using an ice replacement product/freezer pack please refer to manufacturers instructions.
If coolers are stored in direct sun light and in temperatures above 22ºc they will have the same heat retaining characteristics as a preheated oven. |
