For over 100 years different methods
of blowing air through Ice always obtained disappointing results
& minimal relief from the heat. Ice Chilled Water solved the
mystery of how Ice may be used for cooling relief! If you are
convinced blowing air into ice works like Kooleraire claims Click Here.
Mitchell Oates of Mooresville, NC. (President, Charlotte Chapter of the Electric Auto
Association e-mailed:
"Last summer, on days when temperatures were
in the 80's, having the Icester on medium and blowing out into
the cab kept the cab comfortable on the way to work. Running on
high this same way actually made it very cool in the cab and I
would have to direct air flow away from me as it would start to
get uncomfortably cool on exposed skin. On days when temperatures
were in the 90's, I would turn the Icester so that it was blowing
directly on me.While the cab itself was on the muggy side, having
the air blow directly on me kept me comfortable. Two bags of ice
from a local store fill the ice chest to capacity, and even on
high on the hottest days, on arrival at work, more than half the
ice was still left.
The Icester comes in handy also on the return trip late at night.
Even though the temperatures have cooled down, it still is humid
and muggy, especially during or after a late evening thunderstorm.
With a good portion of the ice still left, placing the Icester
on low removes the humidity from the cab and can actually cool
the cab down to the point of being uncomfortable, even fogging
up the windshield unless directed away from it. It has the same
effect when driving in the rain, removing the humidity and preventing
the windshield from fogging, which would normally require running
defrost and the electric heater which would place an extra drain
on the battery pack."
How does the Icester Cool?
Treat it just like any other air conditioner except you do not
vent the heat outside. The heat is transferred into cold water
by drawing the heat through a Transfer Core inside the Icester.
The water lines running from the Icester into your Ice Chest are
four feet long for easy placement of your Ice Chest out of the
way. The Icester is capable of cooling so efficiently that it
uses 20 pounds (9 kilograms)
of ice per hour. When the ice has
melted the Icester does not cool the air anymore, however keeps
blowing ambient air to help you somewhat until you have a chance
to add more ice or reusable freeze packs. Keep the heat outside
and enjoy the cooled air inside without drilling holes or opening
windows.
What makes the Icester work: The ice or reusable freeze packs placed in the ice chest chills the water. The water is then pumped into a special copper-chilling core and also through the evaporative pads. The blower motor draws ambient air through the evaporative pads pre-cooling the air before it is drawn through the chilling core. After the air is cooled it is directed outward to cool the occupants. The water that has been used and not evaporated during this process is then returned back to the ice chest to complete the cycle.

One gallon (3.75 liters) of water will last around two to
three hours in the daytime and four to five hours during the night
when used for evaporative cooling in dry desert climates. The
"Ice Water" models typically use from 10 pounds (4.5
kilograms) to 20 pounds (9.0 kilograms) of ice Per Hour, depending
on the ambient temperature and day or night operation.
A 105 Deep Cycle battery, "not being charged", allow
the MW1, WIN & MW2 to operate for 50 to 80 hours and the "Ice
Water" models like the MK3, MK4, MAC & M400 will operate
for 25 to 35 hours before the battery needs charging. The T154,
T304, S154 & AC12 Models will operate about 8 hours before
the battery would need charging, as they use more energy.
