Full Size Frankencooler

Frankencooler

 

After 35 years, we’ve dropped our Cardinals season tickets as the product no longer justified the price. As a result, for the first and likely last time, I am selling one of my built full-size Frankencoolers. This is the blue and white one pictured at the top of this page, and elsewhere on this site. As most of you know, I have never offered a built Frankencooler because of the many hours required to build (I’m an old guy who can’t stand for long).

Like all our designs, this thing absolutely blows away every ice-fueled cooler on the market.

Here are the specs:

  • 50 Qt Coleman X-Treme with wheels, and drain
  • Ryobi battery receptacle
  • Dual 200 CFM marine blowers
  • Triple radiators
  • Solid state variable speed motor controller
  • Marine pump
  • Dual aluminum expandable ducts with airflow accelerators
  • I will include a nearly new massive 9 Ah Ryobi battery

Because it would cost a fortune and be a massive PITA to ship, this is for local pickup only (Stetson Hills in North Phoenix). Unfortunately, this also means it has local sales tax 🙁

Thank You Pilots

Frankencooler

Thanks to my customers who have referred others to this site. I don’t advertise and the majority of my business continues to be pilots referred by others needing inexpensive, effective cooling for their aircraft. No purpose-built unit on the market comes close to the performance of my line of single and dual blower Blowbox™ ice-fueled models.

Cheap Lithium Batteries

Frankencooler

Like everything else, the Chinese are flooding the market with super cheap iron phosphate lithium batteries. I saw a 20 Ah battery with charger on Amazon for around $50(!). Please know that my Blowbox and Blowbox TWIN models can internally accommodate batteries up to 6.5 in. x 4.31 in. x 3.3 in. (160 mm x 108 mm x 83 mm), and I can provide connections for most of these inexpensive batteries for use with my coolers.

My only caveat is this: Please use caution when purchasing any lithium battery, especially if you’re planning on using them in a safety-critical environment  such as an aircraft. Inexpensive batteries often use cheap cells and have no protection circuitry, unlike the Bioenno Power units I offer. I would not put an sketchy battery in my $200K plane : )
