RV Refrigerator 6.3 Cubic Feet Gas and Electric

When you are going on an extended camping trip or undertaking a long-distance road trip in your RV, you will undoubtedly face many challenges. Being able to eat fresh food should not be one of those challenges. RecPro can help you enjoy fresh food during your adventures and travels by offering the optimal way to store your food. Our 6.3 cubic foot gas absorption refrigerator can help you safely store your food items while traveling and keep it all nice and cold until you are ready to eat or cook.

Why might you want to equip your RV with a gas absorption refrigerator? Wouldn't using a cooler or two work just fine? Sure, if you fill a cooler with ice and water, it will stay cold for quite some time and thus keep your food cold. But there are several problems with relying on a cooler for all your food storage needs.

First off, coolers are big, bulky, and clumsy. They are even harder to handle when full of ice and water, which also makes them challenging to empty out when not in use. Not only are they a pain to carry and move around, but the amount of food storage they offer is deceptively tiny. Once you fill your cooler with ice and water, there is not much room left for your food! Adding on to that, coolers will take up valuable storage space in your RV.

Secondly, all that ice in your cooler will eventually melt away into water. For some food items, this may not be a problem. But this can be disastrous for foods that can't get wet, containers that might pop open accidentally, or food that is wrapped up in non-waterproof wrappers such as bread. Once the ice melts and turns into water, it will work its way inside and ruin these kinds of foods, making them soggy and disgusting.

Our gas absorption refrigerator eliminates all of those problems and provides you with a vast host of benefits that make traveling and camping much more enjoyable. For starters, this refrigerator can be powered in three different ways. You can power this refrigerator by 12v DC or by 120v AC. However, keep in mind that you should only use 12v DC as your power source when driving, as extended use can drain your battery.

The third option for powering this refrigerator is with liquid propane. This refrigerator is not usable with natural gas, only propane. Using propane and a 12v connection to power this refrigerator makes it a "gas absorption refrigerator" and offers you several benefits. Electricity can be a rare resource when traveling or camping that you will want to conserve as best you can, even in an RV. This refrigerator can be used with propane, although it will still require 12v power to function. That being said, the propane usage and 12v power requirement still mean far less power usage as compared to running a refrigerator entirely on electricity. The energy-saving aspect of the propane/12v power means you will not have a large, significant drain on your electricity when using your refrigerator, allowing you to use the majority of your electricity for other applications. On the other hand, liquid propane is a very easily obtained resource and can be stored in large quantities without a hassle. Propane refrigerators are also very efficient, running continuously off of one propane tank and a small 12v power source for an impressively long time.

How can a refrigerator cool things down with propane? The propane flame starts to heat a sealed chamber. This chamber contains ammonia and water until it begins to boil. When this chemical mixture begins to boil it causes the ammonia to turn into a gas and rise up to another chamber. Once the ammonia gas reaches this new chamber it begins to cool down and condense into a liquid. This liquid then flows into an evaporator where it then mixes with hydrogen gas.
Mixing ammonia and hydrogen causes a chemical reaction that is called “endothermic”. An endothermic chemical reaction absorbs heat from the surrounding area. In the case of this appliance, the chemical reaction absorbs heat from inside the refrigerator, cooling down food. The absorption of heat causes the ammonia to return to a gas form, beginning the process once again.

The interface that this propane refrigerator offers you is easy to use and understand. You have a button on the far left for switching the fridge on and off. To the right of that is a button that lets you choose between your DC and AC power sources. To the mid-right is the button that allows you to choose between auto and gas. In the middle of these buttons is a small Check light, which will light up if there is a problem with the refrigerator, so you will not be caught unaware by any issues. The far-right button is how you control the temperature of your refrigerator, as pushing it will let you select between five different temperature levels.
