The models RF-400, RF-650 and RF-1000 are robust compressor driven refrigerators and freezers for intensive use in catering, industrial and military applications. They are equipped with an automatic defrosting system. Additionally, Dometic refrigerators and freezers can be used as transport refrigerators when dedicated batteries or electrical connections are made available on the transport vehicle or if the transport does not exceed 2-3 hours.
Dometic has developed a new refrigeration technology based on the absorption principle (ZR-models). Combined with the same cabinets as the RF-models, transport of fresh food products can now be made safely with perfect temperature control. The patented “Zeolite” technology generates cooling capacity by using two natural elements: Zeolite and water; the advantage of this system as applied to food transport is to generate cold with no external energy required and so to provide independent and efficient transport refrigeration. Once the cold power has been exhausted, the system can be regenerated easily by plugging it into an AC power source, which will also recharge the battery. The Zeocold refrigerator will then be ready for further use.
The Zeolite demonstration project is supported by the European Commission (Project number: LIFE04 ENV/LU/000829).
