Store It Cold with

Couple of comments- A helpful addition to the website would be that most AC units go from 110 at 15000 BTU to 220 at 18000 BTU. For an older building like ours it was much easier to go down.

Also another problem we’ve had with our Samsung AC unit is that it won’t reset itself if the power "flickers." No problem with the coolbot, but the AC doesn’t come back on with the power. Is this true on the LG’s also? Not a problem now that we realized that it happens and added a wireless thermometer by the kitchen window so we can monitor the temps in the cooler.
[***COMMENT FROM RON@COOLBOT - LG Brand Air Conditioners (from Home Depot) do NOT need to be reset when there is a power failure. This is the one significant advantage of LG over Samsung]

I didn’t think the frost control was needed until someone knocked the frost wire out and didn’t replace it. AC was a sheet of frost but a couple of minutes of fan only cleaned it right up.

For the floor we used 4*6 rubber stall mats(from tractor supply in our area) on top of the two layers of blue board. It’s made a nice walking surface and adds another ¾ inch of insulation.

Thanks so much

To Whom It May Concern:

Just wanted to drop you a line.  I installed the CoolBot unit in my homemade Walk-in cooler.  I purchased all the supplies to make an 8’ by 8’ from Home Depot.  I purchased the air conditioner unit from Circuit City.  Totally I have approx 15 hours in design and installation.  The total price was under $1400.00 which is a huge difference from $5k I was quoted for the same size cooler.   It has worked flawlessly since the time I turned it on.   If you ever have anyone skeptical of your product, feel free to forward this email to them.   It only took minutes to install and I’m 100% satisfied!

Everyone that sees it is highly impressed.  My sole purpose is to use the cooler to hang deer in.  I’m in charge of a D-map program (the county allows me to harvest as many deer as possible in the month of Sept,  deer are destroying local farmers crop)  This Sept in Northern VA the weather averaged in the 80 degree range.  Without the cooler I was out of luck.

Also,  bow season starts this Saturday and the temp is suppose to be over 80,  my family and friends wouldn’t be able to hunt without a  place to hang the deer.  We are very responsible hunters,, we eat deer meat twice a week and give the rest to needy families!

Thanks to the CoolBot,  I have no worries! Great Product!  Please give my comments to the developer!  Awesome!

"This thing is AMAZING! I'm just using an 8000 btu Samsung a/c I got for $200 from Lowe's and my room is staying steady at 42 degrees!"

“Dear Ron ...The new Kenmore got the temp down to 40 degrees from 70 in just a short time... Thank you!”

[Please note: They had originally tried the CoolBot on a Whirlpool A/C unit with a metal temperature sensor and it did not work. We offered to take the unit back but they wanted to try again with an “approved” a/c unit. Also, note that the CoolBot will go lower than 40 degrees, it's thermostatically controlled and they set it at 40 degrees.”

Hello,

This past fall I ordered your devise to control an A/C for a walk-in cooler I had bought to hang deer in that would be harvested in the PA Archery season. Our season has had rather warm weather which required us to quarter and place our deer in refrigerators. As you can expect not many deer fit in a refrigerator. Anyhow I just wanted to thank you and let you know that I have been very satisfied with your invention. My father was a farmer so I have roots in the farming life; I would also like to thank you for being a farmer. I have forwarded your email on to a friend that wants to purchase your devise, and I will continue to spread the word on your invention. All my friends are hunters and all have been impressed with how good the results have been. Many were very skeptical when they brought deer over, because of the temperatures they were afraid of a malfunction and loosing the meat. All are advocates of your devise and I am sure they will be spreading the word and maybe purchasing. I hope that this helps in marketing for you and lets you acknowledge that there is another market for your devise with the hunting world.

Thank you,

Ron,
First of all I am very pleased with cool-bot I got just in time for the warm spell 2 weeks ago and it did great!( I built a 8X8X8 walk in cooler with floor and ceiling 3 1/2 inches styrofoam)If you have any one in my area thinking about one  you can use me as a reference. I do have a question and it may seem silly but now that the temp is low and below freezing at night should I remove the cool-bot and move to a warmer location? I know it is made for refrigeration but I am not sure if freezing is a factor?
Thanks

Hi Ron, We have the cool bot up and running.  I hate to sound melodramatic,
but it is life changing!  No more juggling space in the refrigerators,
combining this and that.   We have the temperature set for 42F (mostly
squash and beans) and it has maintained a very constant 42-44 for four days.
We inadvertently turned off the power for 7 hours.  The temperature went up
to 68 before we discovered it.  It was back to 43 in 30 minutes!!  That
really surprised me- thought it would take hours.  We are thoroughly
enjoying our new cool room (especially on 96 degree days!).  Is there
anything else you need to know?
Great article in Growing for Market. We both want to reread it and then
might have 1 or 2 questions. Are you going to do any more post harvest
articles for them?  I think it should be a series.  That is one area that is
very lacking in information.  When we go to Organic Growers Schools, etc.,
very rarely is that a subject.
Thanks, Margaret

PLEASE NOTE: Besides the testimonials here, Google Checkout will solicit comments from YOU about US (after you order.) Those evaluations are available to the public (they are 100% good so far!)

If you buy a CoolBot please do take the time to respond to the Google Checkout query with how the CoolBot is running for you!

We really love hearing from you the details of the cooler you made, the size a/c you are using and what temperature you've set the CoolBot to run at as well as what the application is (farm, florist, restaurant, caterer, industrial, mortuary - we even have people storing vaccines with the CoolBot!)
